By BRIAN HALL The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — Taylor Ward homered twice and Shohei Ohtani took a no-hitter into the fifth inning, helping the Angels beat the Minnesota Twins, 4-2, on a cool, rainy Friday night.
Ohtani seemed to have trouble adjusting to the weather conditions, tying his career high with six walks. He also hit a batter in the first, when Minnesota scored without a hit, but he managed his way through five-plus innings to earn his fourth straight win.
Ohtani (14-8) allowed two runs and struck out seven to reach 203 Ks on the season, reaching 200 for the first time in his career. He’s the first player in MLB history to have 200 strikeouts and hit at least eight home runs in the same season.
Ohtani added an RBI single in the seventh for the Angels. Ryan Tepera got three outs for his fourth save.
The Twins (73-78) lost for the eighth time in nine games. The team also announced that All-Star outfielder Byron Buxton is done for the season and will have surgery on his troublesome right knee.
Luis Arraez singled with two outs in the fifth for Minnesota’s first hit of the game.
Rookie Louie Varland (0-2), a Minnesota native making his first MLB start in his home state, gave up three runs in 5-2/3 innings in his third career start for the Twins.
The first-pitch temperature was 53 degrees and rain fell throughout the early innings. The grounds crew had to repair the mound several times but the game was never delayed.
Ohtani settled down after a shaky first, allowing just three baserunners over the next four innings. At one point, he struck out five batters in a row before Arraez’s hit to the opposite field with the infield shifted.
The first four batters reached in the sixth, and Jake Cave singled in Nick Gordon for Minnesota’s second run. But Aaron Loup relieved Ohtani and got a strikeout and a double play to end the threat.
Ward hit solo drives in the second and sixth for 21 homers on the season, marking his first season with at least 20 homers.
UP NEXT
Angels (LHP Reid Detmers, 6-5, 3.71 ERA) at Twins (RHP Joe Ryan, 12-8, 3.61 ERA), Saturday, 4:10 p.m., Bally Sports West, 830 AM

WASHINGTON — John Hartman, the original drummer and cofounder of the rock band The Doobie Brothers, has died at 72.
The Doobie Brothers shared the news of Hartman's death on Thursday through the band's official social media pages .
"John was a wild spirit, great drummer and showman during his time in the Doobies," the tweet read. "He was also a close friend for many years and an intricate part of the band personality. We send our condolences to all his loved ones at this difficult time."
Hartman formed The Doobie Brothers, along with current guitarists and vocalists Patrick Simmons and Tom Johnston, in the 1970s. Hartman met the pair and began playing bars in the Bay Area, according to the band's website.
The band found success with their second album "Toulouse Street." The band landed hits like "Black Water," "What a Fool Believes" and "Listen to the Music."
Hartman left the band in 1979 but returned for a brief period for the band's reunion album "Cycles" in 1989. After the reunion album "Brotherhood" in 1991, he retired in 1992.
Hartman was one of two drummers for the Doobie Brothers and was on the first eight albums. Ed Toth is the current drummer for the band.
In 2020, Hartman and his fellow Doobie bandmates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The band was also inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004 and have won four Grammy Awards.

New York’s criminal gun laws were recently amended in an “emergency” legislative session. Among the many changes to the law, I wish to discuss two. First, the definition of “rifle” in the penal law was changed. “Rifle,” for the purpose of many criminal statutes, didn’t used to include historical weapons like muzzle loaders. Now it does. The law was specifically changed so muzzle loaders, flintlock rifles, and black powder rifles are considered “rifles” under the criminal law. Second, the law made it a felony to possess any firearm, rifle or shotgun in a “sensitive location,” including all public parks.
The obvious effect of these two changes to the criminal law is that it is now a felony to possess a muzzle loading rifle, flintlock rifle, or black powder rifle at a public park. This includes Fort Niagara State Park and numerous other parks around the state where historical reenactments of military battles take place regularly. At Fort Niagara volunteers dressed in period clothing and outfitted with period equipment, like muzzle loaders, educate visitors throughout the year. Several large-scale reenactments, complete with the firing of cannons and muzzle loaders loaded with blanks, are staged each year. Now, under the clear language of the new law, the participants in these events and educational opportunities would be committing felonies.
However, according to a recent report in the Buffalo News, when questioned about the changes to the law and their effect on these types of events, Governor Kathy Hochul’s office responded by stating that “These laws allow historical re-enactments to occur.” Since then, I have been asked, as District Attorney, if I intend to prosecute individuals who bring muzzle loaders to Fort Niagara for the purpose of participating in historical reenactments.
Is this how the law is supposed to work? The legislature passes a law that makes unobjectionable conduct a crime. The Governor who just signed the law then publicly denies that the very conduct prohibited in the law is illegal. Citizens are left to contact local law enforcement officials personally, to see whether or not they will be arrested and prosecuted for felonies as defined in the law. Clearly it is not.
One of the bedrock principles of criminal law is that everyone should be on notice as to what conduct constitutes a crime. There shouldn’t be any surprises. If the Governor’s office doesn’t even know that the law she signed now makes it a felony to have a musket at a park, how would anyone in the public be expected to know? A second bedrock principle of criminal law is that only the conduct that we, as a society, determine is so far out of bounds that someone who commits it should be punished, should constitute a crime, much less a felony. I don’t think anyone believes that possessing a muzzle loader during a historical reenactment should be a felony, subjecting someone to up to four years in prison.
Finally, local DAs, sheriffs, and police chiefs shouldn’t be forced into becoming mini-lawmakers, deciding on an ad hoc basis whether or not portions of a law will be enforced in their jurisdiction. They shouldn’t have to determine which pieces of a law should actually apply, and which pieces shouldn’t because there is no way a rational legislature could have meant it. That is a recipe for the breakdown of the entire system of law.
Unfortunately, this is what happens when legislation is rushed through on a timetable set by news cycles and political calendars. By the time a piece of legislation is passed and becomes the law of the land, it should have been carefully and thoroughly vetted and considered. The Governor had no issue calling an emergency legislative session to rush this obviously unconsidered piece of legislation through. She should call another emergency session to fix it.

A group of local school teachers underwent a technology integration program in order to transform their classrooms’ learning environment.
Alexander City Schools awarded five teachers this week for completing a technology proficiency training course this week. School leaders announced the achievement during a regularly scheduled board of education meeting Tuesday, September 20.
ACS Technology Integration Specialist Brigitte McCawley explained the program that several teachers participated in named “Coaching Cycle” to the school board. The program is designed for teachers to evaluate their classroom practices and environments to assess how technology can be better integrated.
“This is where my role intertwines and overlaps with the academic side of things,” McCawley said. “Because if our pedagogy and our curriculum design and our environment is not set for authentic technology integration, including classroom management, including social [and] emotional skills, all of that then it’s just not going to work.”
The Coaching Cycle stems from the school system’s Technology Integration Model for Continuous Improvement, a model the school system implemented in 2021.
“It [The Coaching Cycle] was centered around three intentionally proposed areas and that is academic standards alignment protect integration, student-centered components protect integration and academic engagement protect integration,” McCawley said.

Among the certification recipients include: Sarah Ray, teacher at Benjamin Russell High School; Lynda Chick, teacher at Stephens Elementary School; Caitlin Harrell, teacher at Radney Elementary School; Scarlette Atchison, teacher at Radney Elementary School and Abegale Faust, teacher at Radney Elementary School.
One of the teachers recognized, Lynda Chick, has set up stations in her classroom that correspond with the SPED program’s alternate achievement standards. Chick plans to be a mentor to other SPED teachers with the ideas she has gained from the coaching cycle program, McCawley said.
The Coaching Cycle program will be extended this school year with some teachers already receiving invitations.
Outside of the Coaching Cycle, the school system also had a media specialist collaboration and strategic plan development. McCawley said this collaboration involved looking at how media centers can be improved.
“What we are wanting to do is, those media centers be what they should be, and that is a central hub of learning for our school and not just for students, for our teachers, for our community,” McCawley said.

Video gamers have a new place to call home in Alexander City.
Respawn Arcade, Pinball and E-Sports officially opened for business Friday, September 23.
After nearly a year in development, the business’ open sign now glows along downtown, revitalizing an entertainment venue that has been absent in Alexander City for years.
As owners James and Jessica Duncan welcomed their first customers Friday afternoon, both nervousness and excitement rushed over them.
“I'm just nervous because that's just me whenever I'm doing anything that's unknown because I know we've put so much time and effort in, but I'm also looking around and I'm proud because it didn't seem like a year ago that it would turn out so much better than I hoped,” Jessica said.
Much like the name itself, the duo have given a respawned life to a part of Alexander City. Over the past year, the couple have poured love and sweat into the arcade that now sits at 148 Calhoun Street, completely renovating a building which previously housed a pawn shop.
“We've been working on it since last Thanksgiving, and I mean, we've taken two inches of plaster and drywall off and we have all new floors and new lighting. It literally has been gutted and completely redone,” Jessica said.

On the polished new floors sit a plethora of games spanning traditional arcade machines, skee ball, air hockey, shuffleboard and modern video game consoles.
For those excited to jump in, the arcade will operate Monday through Saturday, with Sunday reserved for private gatherings. Store hours have yet to be determined, as the couple is still gauging attendance.
Admissions will operate around all-day wristbands for all age groups. Prices will fluctuate throughout the week, with wristbands costing $8 Monday through Thursday. On weekends, admission ranges with $15 adults and $8 for 11 years of age and under.
The couple will house only certain games initially, but hope to expand the arcade with new games over time depending on the public interest, including potentially eSports tournaments and virtual reality.
“It will depend on people coming and supporting business, which we will reinvest in new games. When it was in our basement, it was about what we wanted, but now we're looking at what people want to play. So, it's all based on what the customers want,” the couple said.
No matter the interest, gamers can be sure to find their favorite video games and the Duncans at Respawn Arcade for the foreseeable future.
“We're willing to do as much as the people want to and we can invest a lot into it. We want people to show up and have fun,” Jesscia said. “Like how it looks and feels, it’s somewhere I'd want to hang out, which is good because we're gonna be here a lot.”

I like to think I'm a positive guy and can find a silver lining in most every dark cloud. It's only the third game of the year and there's still a lot of football left to be played. Auburn's embarrassing performance against Penn State on Saturday getting pushed around and run out of their own stadium 41-12 qualifies as inclement weather. However, after intently searching high and low for the slightest ray of sunshine, I am completely bereft of positivity. If you are kind enough to read my column and usually look for some reassurance within, this one is probably going to be a little disappointing. The truth can be unpleasant and difficult to take at times, but it will set you free. It would take an entire page to diagnose adequately and thoroughly everything that went wrong against the Nittany Lions.
Of course, I can also sum it up in a few sentences. The offense stunk and turned the ball over four times. The defense got run over, by and through. The coaching staff, who make anywhere from $400,000 and $5.1 million a year, weren't even paying enough attention to realize the first quarter had ended and TJ Finley's interception should have been nullified. Simply put, it was a bad day all the way around.
Normally, I would say it's just one game and the Tigers will lose most games in which they turn the ball over four times, but this wasn't just about the turnovers. Auburn was manhandled at the line of scrimmage by the Penn State front seven. They registered 6 sacks, 11 tackles for loss and an astounding 36 QB pressures. I don't believe OC Eric Kiesau called more than 50 pass plays in the game.
In other words, TJ Finley and Robby Ashford were under immediate distress practically every time the ball was snapped. I've given Finley a hard time and, for the record, I am now even more convinced he gives Auburn zero chance to succeed, but Cam Newton would struggle against those overwhelming odds. It makes for a very difficult situation for everyone when the offensive line can't block anyone. It doesn't matter what plays are called or who runs them. The coaching staff's bizarre decision-making isn't helping matters.
Tank Bigsby is undoubtedly the biggest weapon on offense, and he only touched the ball 11 times during the game. Landen King may have the best hands of any receiver I've seen at Auburn since Lawyer Tillman, and he has only been targeted twice in three games. When asked why these players weren't touching the ball more after the game, the coach literally replied, "I don't know, but we need to get them the ball more." Reckon who does know Coach?
Perhaps the most disconcerting thing about Saturday is that Penn State is far from the best team Auburn will play in the following weeks. That, and I'm just not sure how many of the Tigers problems are easily correctable. I've never been one to give up on a season and especially this early, but I honestly haven't seen anything in the first three weeks to give me hope things are going to get better. In fact, it's very likely things are going to get much, much worse. I no longer believe it's a matter of if Harsin survives the season, but merely when his exit will occur and how much his buyout will cost the university.

Smiths Station bit all the Wildcats would let them chew on the first drive of the game by going the length of the field for a touchdown, before being punched in the face by a 33-point run by Benjamin Russell High School for a final score of 46-28.
Gabe Benton was spreading the ball around like a table full of warm butter and fresh biscuits as five different receivers recorded a touchdown in the win, and 4-star Malcolm Simmons left no doubt about his skills as he shredded through the Panther defense for two 70-plus-yard touchdowns.
Things were going so well, even Benjamin Russell head coach Smitty Grider couldn’t help but chuckle and let out a grin on the sideline.
“Well, we played a great first half,” Grider said. “They had a couple drives early and we settled down and played really good on defense the rest of the half.”
The Wildcats left last week’s road loss to Homewood in the past, and came out with an energy unmatched by Smiths Station.
Coming off of a tough loss can be a challenge, but Benjamin Russell made it look like another walk in the park for the now 4-1 team who is firmly in the running for a bid to the playoffs.
The Panthers looked to keep this one tight by driving the opening kickoff 61-yards to the house after a muffed kickoff by the Wildcats.
That vision only lasted about three minutes of game play before Benjamin Russell added two touchdowns behind a touchdown toss across the middle to La’Bronski McKinney and a jet-sweep for the score by Simmons.
Once the Wildcats felt comfortable with the lead, the offense was clicking on all cylinders as senior Malik Maddox broke away from tacklers and scored a 73-yard touchdown rush to increase the lead to three touchdowns.

The Panther quarterback, under duress, tossed the ball in an attempt to throw it out of bounds but left it short, giving senior Corri Milliner a chance to dive under it for the only turnover in the first half.
Simmons wasn’t about to let his teammates take all the glory, however, blasting up the right sideline for an uncontested 75-yard score and blowing the score open before the 30 minute mark.
The Wildcats’ second half wouldn’t go as swimmingly as the first, as Smiths Station found success on two drives to make the score 40-21, before the Wildcats coughed up the ball on a fumble inside their own 15-yard line. Benjamin Russell’s confidence would bend, but not crack, as the defense shut down the Panthers on four consecutive drives for a 4th down stop on a sack by Caiden Hyde.
“I’m not really happy with the way we played in the third quarter, I thought we just kind of let up,” Grider said. “Our kids gotta learn how to finish. We allowed them to hang around and make it a lot closer than it should have been, but they got a good team. They got a tough scheme to defend if you don’t play it right. You gotta give them credit too. But hey, it’s a win.”
To finish up the icing on this week’s cake, Benton found Simmons on a deep go-route and floated the ball to the receiver, who snagged the ball and showed off a balancing act by turning around after the catch and bolting past the defender for a 93-yard touchdown.
Ty Williams also logged the defense’s second interception of the day and ran it back into the red zone where the Wildcats bled out the rest of the clock.
“Man, he’s a great athlete,” Grider said of Simmons. “He had a big night and Gabe was great tonight, really threw the ball well. All of our skill guys, just really proud of all of them on offense.”
Up 18 points with two minutes remaining on the clock, Benjamin Russell players could have been gearing up to celebrate with the student section after a bounce-back home win. Instead, eyes were locked in on the sideline television set and players were vocally taking reasonability for mistakes they made on Smith Station’s most recent drive.
Benjamin Russell (4-1) hosts Chilton County (2-4) for a 6A Region 3 clash next Friday at Martin-Savarese Stadium.

Reeltown sophomore Tae Martin has been voted the Week 5 Player of the Week for his efforts on both sides of the ball in the Rebels’ 76-0 victory over Barbour County.
Martin is the third straight Reeltown Rebel to be selected Player of the Week, joining Zy Collins and Arthur Woods.
In Reeltown’s record setting victory last Friday, Martin snagged an interception that set up a score and even scored himself. Martin’s work all came in the first half, as the Rebels cruised to a comfortable 57-0 lead after two quarters.

Martin has been a solid portion of Reeltown’s recent domination on both sides of the ball. In the past three weeks, the Rebels have outscored opponents 159-22 and have rushed for over 1,000 yards combined.
Against Barbour County, Martin’s rushing score was one of nine on the ground for the Rebels.
The sophomores’s Player of the Week status is not the only major news for Reeltown this week, as the Rebels were ranked No. 10 in Class 2A on Wednesday. After winning three straight games, the Rebels have cracked the top-10 for the first time since 2020.
Reeltown gets to enjoy itself this week, as the Rebels are on a bye, before getting back on the field next Friday against Lanett.

Irish government to move Ukrainian refugees from army tents in Gormanston in time for winter
Gormanston army camp has been used as a shelter for Ukrainian refugees since July because the Irish government says it ran out of accommodation
The Irish army’s military camp in Gormanston, Co Meath will not be used to house Ukrainian refugees from next month, the Irish government has said.
It is currently housing about 190 people, the accommodation not a suitable for winter.
Ireland’s Department of Children says it is in discussions with the country’s Defence Forces for ‘alternative, non-tented, refugee accommodation’.
The number of Ukrainians arrivingin Ireland fell to about 90 people per day in August but has since increased to about 126 people per day.
About 800 additional beds for Ukrainian refugees are needed each week.
Almost 49,000 people have sought refuge in Ireland since the Russian invasion at the end of February and it is expected that up to 60,000 Ukrainians will have arrived in Ireland by the end of the year.
Of those 49,000 some 38,000 Ukrainians have sought accommodation from the government.
About 32,000 people are being housed in hotels, B&Bs, and commercial self-catering accommodation, 900 people are in emergency accommodation like Gormanston and some 4,500 people are in private homes.
Ireland’s Department of Children has about 500 contracts with operators providing serviced accommodation – with 165 of those contracts are due for renewal in the next few months.
Over 4,000 offers of accommodation in private homes are being vetted.
Some 4,300 Ukrainians housed in student accommodation during summer had to move as students returned to universities and colleges.
Separate to Ukrainian refugees, some 10,000 people have arrived in Ireland seeking asylum since the start of the year – bringing the total to 15,500, up from 7,500 at the same time last year.

Taoiseach calls out Russia as rogue state at United Nations General Assembly
Heightened nuclear risks from Russian aggression ‘unprecedented’, says Martin
Micheál Martin talks of a ‘time of crisis’, urges the UN to act on food security and climate change.
The heightened nuclear risks from Russia’s aggression against Ukraine are unprecedented, Taoiseach Micheál Martin said at the United Nations.
Potential nuclear threats from Russian military activity near civilian nuclear facilities in Ukraine are unprecedented, he warned.
Addressing the UN General Assembly in New York on Thursday, the Taoiseach said the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty must remain an essential element of international peace and security, adding the urgency of its full implementation “cannot be overstated”.
He described Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as carrying “dark echoes of our continent’s past”.
“We face an expansionist power brutally invading and occupying a peaceful neighbour,” Mr Martin said.
“We faced this many times in Europe in the 20th century. We did not think we would face it again in the 21st century.
“But this is not just a European issue. Not just a concern for ‘the West’.
“All states, and particularly small countries such as my own, should fear a world where might equals right, where the strong can bully the weak; where sovereignty and territorial integrity can be blatantly violated; and where the UN Charter – the charter that all of us in this Assembly have faithfully put our trust in – can be flouted with impunity.”
“We face an expansionist power brutally invading and occupying a peaceful neighbour,”
Mr Martin referred to his visit to Ukraine in July, hearing first-hand accounts from civilians, and the uncovering of mass civilian graves in Bucha and Izium.
“We have seen the targeting of nuclear facilities and of civilian infrastructure,” he said.
“And now we see President Putin plan sham referenda in eastern Ukraine, aimed at forcibly changing Ukraine’s borders, in clear violation of the UN Charter.
“We have to name what we are seeing. These actions, taken collectively, show Russia behaving as a rogue state.”
Mr Martin also referred to the impact of the invasion reaching as far as the Horn of Africa in terms of food insecurity.
“Some of the countries which have been worst-affected by the current food insecurity crisis are those most reliant on imports of wheat from Russia and Ukraine,” he said.
“Combined with the impact of climate change, and of conflict, severe drought and other extreme weather events, we face a crisis that needs urgent action.”
Mr Martin described a “time of crisis”, referring to the threat of widespread global hunger, food insecurity, devastating impacts of climate change and “blatant disregard for international law” and the UN Charter.
He went on to say that the gathering has the tools and systems to address these issues, and called for political will to implement treaties and charters that are agreed.
“When much of the progress that we were making towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals has stalled or gone into reverse, as we grapple with the continued effects of the Covid pandemic,” he said.
“We cannot continue to shelve or postpone or ignore our existential global challenges.”

Westmeath mum in court for murder of her two children
A mother appeared in court on Thursday evening charged with the murder of her two children in Co Westmeath.
Lynn Egar is accused of murdering five-year-old Thelma and two-year-old Michael (Mikey) Dennany on a rural road in Multyfarnham on 9 September.
Lynn Egar, 48, with an address at Winetown, Rathowen, in Co Westmeath, was charged with two counts of murder during a special sitting of Mullingar District Court.
She is charged with murdering five-year-old Thelma and two-year-old Michael (Mikey) Dennany on a rural road at Lackan, Multyfarnham, on 9 September.
Garda Detective Sergeant David Donnelly told the court that Egar was charged with two counts of murder shortly before 8pm on Thursday.
Det Sgt Donnelly said that she made no reply after she was charged.
Dressed in a purple zipped hooded top and dark trousers, Egar sat with her head bowed during the five-minute court appearance and did not address the court.
Solicitor Damien Coffey made an application for legal aid and handed in a statement of her means.
District Judge Bernadette Owens granted the application for legal aid.
Judge Owens said that any application for bail is a matter for the High Court.
Egar was remanded to the Dochas Centre, the women’s section at Mountjoy Prison in Dublin, and will appear before Athlone District Court next Wednesday (28 Sep) via video link.

Experienced athlete and local attorney David Daggett looks to add to his 30+ Ironman finishes while competing in two back-to-back World Championships within the same month.
WINSTON-SALEM, September 21st, 2022 -- At 62 years old, David Daggett is pushing athleticism to the next level, competing in two Ironman championships in October. However, this is nothing new to David. His participation in this high-intensity sporting event spans decades, with hundreds of triathlons and dozens of Ironman finishes already in his arsenal.
“I was 21 years old when I was introduced to the sport of triathlon, and, clearly in the last 41 years, I haven’t looked back! More than 200 triathlons including 30 (so far) Ironman finishes. In fact, I have raced the ultimate triathlon, the Hawaii Ironman World Championship, eight times!”
Soon, David will make that nine, returning to Hawaii for next month’s race and his 31st Ironman – one of the very few athletes to compete over a 30 year span.
On October 6, David will travel to Kailua-Kona, Hawaii – “Where Champions Race” – to embark on the 2022 Vinfast IRONMAN World Championship. There, he will unite with dedicated athletes worldwide to run a 140.6-mile course through the Island’s barren lava fields.
Additionally, on October 29, David will take his talents to St. George, Utah – “The Land of Endurance” – to compete in the Intermountain Healthcare 2022 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship. This challenging, 70.3-mile course weaves through hilly red rock canyons and stunning views of American Southwest scenery.
David is among very few participants to compete in these races at age 30 through 60+ and remain at his level for years. Although this may seem like a near impossible feat to most, David insists that putting in consistent work far before the finish line will always yield winning results. He states that a healthy lifestyle is within reach for everybody -- but consistency is key.
“Simple everyday habits and activities progress over time and yield huge results. It is very simple, but at the same time can be very hard. As I like to say around the office, ‘Every day, Every day, Every day!’”
The injury and disability attorney’s dedication to health and wellness is not limited to physical fitness. Over 30 years ago, David co-founded the Safe Sober Program to spread awareness of the dangers of drug and alcohol use. Through his long-standing initiatives, David is committed to ensuring the health and safety of the entire Triad community and is ready to help any neighbor in need.
Daggett Shuler, Attorneys at Law, principal office is based at 2140 Country Club Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27104.

The former Celebrity Cruises and Pullmantur Cruises cruise ship Zenith has arrived at the ship-breaking yard in Alang, India. The 30-year-old cruise ship, which is currently anchored off the coast of Alang, will be broken up for scrap metal in the coming months. Zenith was built in 1992 by the Meyer shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.
The ship follows her sister, Horizon, which arrived at the ship-breaking yard in Aliaga, Turkey, a little over three weeks ago, also to be scrapped. Both ships sailed for Celebrity Cruises and Spanish cruise line Pullmantur.
Zenith Awaits Scrapping in India
Built in 1992 at the world-famous Meyer shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, after almost thirty years of service, Zenith has reached her final destination. The former Celebrity Cruises and Pullmantur cruise ship arrived at the Alang shipbreaking yard in Alang, India, where she will be broken up into scrap metal.
The 47,413 gross tons cruise ship is currently anchored off the coast of Alang, awaiting the moment she will be beached in preparation for breaking work to commence.
Since 2021, Zenith had been awaiting her fate in Greece, where she remained until recently. She then sailed to Oman, where she was renamed TSM Singapore, until the time came to set course to Alang.
Zenith was built by the Meyer shipyard in Germany for Celebrity Cruises and started her career sailing from Florida to the Caribbean and Bermuda. She was operational for Celebrity Cruises through 2007. In 2007 Zenith was transferred to Pullmantur Cruises, the Spanish cruise line owned by Royal Caribbean Group.
From 2007 she spent most of her time sailing around the Mediterranean and Canary Islands until she was transferred to CDF Croisieres de France, joining her sister ship, the L’Horizon, in 2014.
Her career at the French Cruise Line, also owned by the royal Caribbean Group, did not last long. In 2017 the company was disbanded, and Zenith returned to service with Pullmantur Cruises.
However, at the time, the Spanish cruise line was already struggling. Royal Caribbean Group announced in July 2019 that Zenith would be sold to Peace Boat in early 2020. She was last active as Peace Boat in 2020-2021 before being replaced by Sun Princess.
Two Sisters Now Scrapped
Celebrity Zenith was an exact copy of her sister, Celebrity Horizon. Both ships have had a thirty-year sailing career, mostly sailing for the same cruise lines throughout.
At the time she was built, Celebrity Horizon was the very first new-built cruise ship for the cruise line. Celebrity Horizon arrived at the shipbreaking yard in Aliaga, Turkey, in August 2022, also for scrapping.
Celebrity Zenith and Horizon signaled the start for Celebrity Cruises to become a global giant in the cruise industry. The same cannot be said about Pullmantur Cruises. Although the company was popular early on, the last couple of years before the pandemic showed a definite decline in profitability.
By June 2020, Royal Caribbean Group and the board of directors announced a reorganization, which evolved into a complete liquidation in July 2021.

The Canadian Hurricane Centre has warned of heavy rainfall and hurricane-force winds expected to hit Atlantic Canada and eastern Quebec when Hurricane Fiona arrives in the area as early as Friday night.
The storm, which disrupted several cruises in the Caribbean, has been growing ever more potent as of late, now affecting cruise ship schedules in the Northern Atlantic. Both Sydney and St. Johns announced several canceled cruise ship calls, while more are expected to be announced in the coming days.
Canadian Ports Announce Cruise Cancelations
Hurricane Fiona is expected to hit the Canadian Atlantic coast this weekend with extreme winds and severe wind speeds. With wave heights in the area up to 33 feet (11 meters), and winds gusting up to 142 Mph, several Canadian ports have started announcing cancelations to scheduled cruise ship calls.
The port of Sydney, Nova Scotia, has canceled all scheduled calls this weekend ahead of sustained expected wind speeds up to 100 Mph. This includes Silversea’s Silver Whisper on Saturday, and Oceania Insignia, Celebrity Summit and Regent Seven Seas Navigator on Sunday.
On Monday, the call by Norwegian Pearl has already been canceled. Windstar Pride, Caribbean Princess, and Ambassador Cruise line’s Ambience‘s calls are still scheduled, with the weather dictating whether or not those calls will go ahead.
In St. John, New Brunswick calls for the Caribbean Princess and Celebrity Summit on Saturday, September 24, have been canceled. Norwegian Getaway is scheduled to arrive in New Brunswick on Sunday. Although some improvement in weather conditions is expected on Sunday, these are unlikely to be developing in such a way where a call will be possible.
The Port of Halifax in Nova Scotia, cruise operations will be suspended on Friday and Saturday. During that time, vessels will not be allowed to berth at Halifax Port Authority facilities. This means that the Silver Whisper and Celebrity Summit calls have been canceled. More cancelations are possible on Sunday and Monday.
The cruise ship schedules are up in the air now as well. Cruise lines are forced to change their itineraries to ensure guests and crew are safe onboard, which means staying as far away from Hurricane Fiona as possible.
For guests onboard Celebrity Summit, this means that, at a minimum, they will have an overnight in Portland, Maine, and the call to Quebec City has also been shortened.
Hurricane Fiona
Hurricane Fiona has left a path of destruction in the affected areas over the last week. First, the storm battered the outer leeward islands, particularly Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands further north. Several cruise lines decided well in advance to cancel and redirect their ships to other areas in the Caribbean.
Fiona strengthened again as the storm passed into the Atlantic Ocean, approaching Bermuda as a Category 4 storm. As the hurricane comes to the Canadian Atlantic coast, cruise companies are again forced to rethink their plans.

The effects of Hurricane Fiona are expected to subside by the middle of next week. At this time, cruise operations will likely return to normal, with the hope being that the remainder of the New England and Canada cruise season will be able to continue without further issues.

2023: Wike opens up on PDP crisis
•Levels allegations against Ayu •Admits ‘I’m not bigger than the party’
GOVERNOR Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, on Friday, in a live television broadcast acknowledged that he is not “bigger” than the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and asked leaders of the party to thank him for demanding equity and fairness.
Wike has been up in arms against the party since the presidential primary that produced Atiku Abubakar as the candidate of party and Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State as his running mate.
The governor, who emerged as the runner-up in the primary, was passed over in the search for the party’s vice presidential candidate. The highpoint of his grievances was Tuesday’s pullout by his camp from the Presidential Campaign Council.
However, Atiku appealed to Wike and members of his aggrieved camp to rethink their withdrawal in the interest of the PDP and Nigerians who are looking up to the party to rescue it from the current socio-economic and political quagmire the country is facing.
But speaking on Friday in an interview aired by the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), African Independent Television (AIT), Channels Television and Television Continental (TVC), Governor Wike continued his attacks on the PDP, its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and the National Chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu.
He, however, admitted that he was not bigger than the party.
Answering a question on whether he was not concerned that the party might accuse him of anti-party activities and suspend him, Wike said: “I am still in the PDP and I have not said I am leaving the party.”
He threatened that if the party pushed him further, he would reveal some secrets to Nigerians that would “shake everybody.”
The governor said: “Who will suspend me? What do you think is my job here? I am not saying I am bigger than the party but they should come and suspend me. Anything they see, they will take.”
He took a swipe at some of the party’s leaders who he said have never won their units or state for the PDP but still go about boasting that they would sanction him.
Wike said: “Since 1999, the PDP has never won Yobe State. You have zero vote in your state and Rivers has been bringing 100 (per cent). But you are running up and down saying you will sanction the man who has done so much for the party.
“If Nigerians hear a lot of things going on now in the party that wants to take over from the present government, it will shake the country.”
He explained that rather than thinking of suspending him, the party should be grateful to his team for challenging the party and insisting that the right things be done.
He said: “ They should thank us for pushing our party to make the world believe that there are people who believe in equity, fairness and justice. Let the party take advantage by doing the right thing to enjoy the people’s support and win the election.
“We have taken it upon ourselves not to allow this opportunity of taking over power to slip. If we continue this way, we should be in for a shocker.”
On the propriety of demanding for the resignation of the party’s national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, only a few months to the general election and without a national convention of the party immediately on the card, the govenor said the party could adopt the doctrine of necessity.
He suggested that as a way preventing a constitutional crisis, the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party could adopt the doctrine of necessity to decide on Ayu’s replacement, who would be ratified at the party’s national convention after the 2023 elections.
He stated that the insistence of his team was because of an agreement reached with the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the party’s chairman’s earlier pledge to resign if the presidential candidate of the party came from the North.
ALSO READ FROM NIGERIAN TRIBUNE
Wike said: “We jettisoned our constitution, not knowing we were sowing the seed of confusion in our party. When I see fraud, when I see manipulation, I say these things will put us in trouble.” He explained that his position was informed by his passion for Nigeria.
“My only regret is that I won’t have the opportunity to fight insecurity and oil theft,” two of the problems which he said were destroying the nation’s economy.
However, a source in the PDP Presidential Campaign Council who pleaded anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issues at play said: “We are of the strong view that this is an uncharitable comment by a supposedly top member of the party and obviously an elevated falsehood to put the presidential candidate in a bad light.
“In all his political life, there is no evidence so far that Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president, has, in his actions or pronouncements, portrayed himself as an unworthy and unreliable political leader. He distances himself from disreputable actions and embraces the noble values that could propel our country to decency and greatness.
“This is what is responsible for his political activities: to be given an opportunity to contribute to the greatness of the nation and help advance the potentials of the country and its teeming youthful population. The Wazirin Adamawa remains a man of deep conviction, honesty and integrity.
“Governor Wike says he is fighting for fairness, justice and equity, but in the pursuit of all that, the governor assumes the state and the entire south of the country. With all sincerity and as a party faithful which he claims to be, he should stop fighting a war that does not exist.
“It is also important to dispel the impressions that may have been created during the interview that key political positions have been shared. Yes, politics is about negotiations and more negotiations to reach a consensus and, sometimes, even compromise, it is a futile exercise for positions to be shared when an electoral victory has not been secured.
“We appeal to Governor Wike that Nigeria is in desperate need of visionary leaders to rescue and redeem the nation from this wrecking administration. This is not the time to pull punches and settle scores particularly when they do not exist, but a time to combine strength and efforts to lift our people from nearly eight years of sustained pain and despondency. It is our prayer that God will rescue the country through PDP.”

“Teachers need to be dedicated to survive in education,” said Ashley Ellis. In her 10 years teaching in public and private schools, she’s said the work has gotten more difficult. “Teachers have to have a heart for what you do. You have to be a team player. You might start off the year as a first-grade teacher and you might end up as a fifth-grade teacher, and maybe the secretary too.”
Ellis faced that scenario after a teacher walked off the job—and never returned—in the middle of the school year. In a single day, she went from being the school’s behavioral interventionist to serving as an interim fifth grade teacher. “I appreciate her stepping into that role and she quickly went in and added structure to that class,” said Jade Scott, an administrative assistant who works with Ellis. “I believe she did a wonderful job in that class with the students, she even purchased her own books for them.”
Ellis’ colleagues nominated her for an Excellence in Education Award for the work, love and care she extends to everyone around her. “I’ve seen her give her all to kids and co-workers and whenever staff or children need her, she’s going over and beyond,” said Monica Wright, a teacher who has worked with Ellis in two elementary schools. “That’s just the type of person she is.”

The Kaua‘i Police Department has arrested the driver involved in a Kapa‘a traffic crash that has resulted in the death of longtime Kauai resident Tanya Hall. She died Thursday, September 23, 2022 as the result of her injuries.
The Kaua‘i Police Department has arrested the driver involved in a Kapa‘a traffic crash that has resulted in the death of longtime Kauai resident Tanya Hall. She died Thursday, September 23, 2022 as the result of her injuries.
LIHUE, Kauai (KITV) -- Kauai Police have arrested the driver involved in a car accident in Kapaa that killed one woman and injured another.
Clayton G. Silva Sr, 65, was arrested Friday for negligent homicide, negligent injury, and inattention to driving. He has since been released from police custody pending an investigation.
On Monday, September 19, two women were struck in a marked crosswalk by a Chevrolet truck traveling southbound on Kūhiō Highway near mile-marker 9 in Kapa‘a. Silva has been identified as the driver of the Chevrolet truck.
The victim, 50-year-old Tanya Ruiz, died Thursday afternoon as a result of her injuries.
The second pedestrian, a 52-year-old California woman, has been hospitalized for several days for injuries sustained in the crash. She currently remains at Wilcox Medical Center in stable condition, and is expected to make a recovery.
Speeding and impairment are not suspected factors in the crash. However, the investigation remains ongoing.
"Tanya came to Kauai 10 years ago to care for a disabled child and has never left," says Jennifer Antony who is organizing the GoFundMe for Ruiz. "She fell in love with Kauai and Kauai fell in love with her. Tanya is the most loving, giving, truest and beautiful human ever".
A Facebook post from the County of Kauai shared that Ruiz was key in the success of the COVID testing center at the Kauai War Memorial Convention.

Apple AirPods Pro 2 Review: The Only Headphones You Need
Thanks to advances in everything from noise cancellation to battery life, they’re my go-to for long runs, long meetings, and long flights
Outside's long reads email newsletter features our strongest writing, most ambitious reporting, and award-winning storytelling about the outdoors. Sign up today.
My dad was an audiophile back before being an audiophile was cool. He had a huge record collection, knew his way around a high-quality turntable, and had music playing in our house during all waking hours. I distinctly remember the first time he put on a pair of decent over-the-ear headphones and was amazed by how these cups could provide such an immersive audio experience while the rest of the world around him was silent.
My dad passed away 10 years ago, but when I put the new AirPods Pro in for the first time last week, he was the first person I thought about. I wish he could have experienced what it’s like to wear these tiny little earbuds that, while a tenth the size of those original headphones, provide an even clearer and more immersive listening experience. He would have been blown away.
Richer Audio
I’m a huge music fan, thanks to my dad, and listen to a wide swath of artists every day. I’ve also been lucky to test every new release of AirPods to date, and can say that the second generation of the AirPods Pro have arrived at a pretty astounding point. The music is so full and rich that it’s hard to imagine where Apple will go from here. I’m listening to them as I write, and the music is so clear and enjoyable that I literally feel giddy.
According to Apple, the updated sound stems from a mix of factors, including the power of their new H2 chip, plus a custom-built driver and amplifier that allow for even crisper highs matched with deep and rich bass across all audio levels. There’s also the spatial audio technology, which I was able to understand with help from a member of Apple’s AirPods team.
Simply put, spatial audio creates a surround-sound listening experience so it feels like the music is coming at you from all angles, just like in a high-quality movie theater or in a great concert venue. The original AirPods Pro have it, but this second generation maps your ear and head with your iPhone, so that spatial audio is customized specifically to you. I did the mapping, which only takes a minute, and didn’t note a giant leap in surround-sound quality, but I did feel more immersed and engrossed in the music than when wearing the original AirPods Pro.
Improved Noise Cancellation
Match the upgraded sound quality with noise cancellation that’s been improved by a factor of two, and it can sometimes feel like you’ve been transported to a completely different space. Sitting in my office for the past week, even with my door open to barking dogs and loud kids, only the loudest noises occasionally got through.
Listening to music on a plane ride, I was able to completely drown out the ambient noise and immerse myself in a book so deeply that I only looked up when the plane bounced on the runway during landing. It’s true that this was mostly possible with the first generation of AirPods Pro, but the added noise cancellation and increased audio quality make these experiences noticeably better and more flawless.
The Noise app on my Apple Watch allows me to see in real time how much the headphones reduce noise in decibels. With normal ambient noise, my watch reads somewhere around a 25 decibel reduction. But if I clap or shout, that goes up to 60 decibels. I don’t understand audio technology fully, but I do know that noise is reduced by 20 decibels when wearing over-the-ear headphones at the shooting range to make sure my rifle doesn’t leave me with hearing loss, so there’s no doubt the Apple headphones filter out a lot.
Longer Battery Life, Better Fit, and Easier Controls
Those of us who love to travel will also be glad that the battery life gets a bump. Apple says the new AirPods Pro have a 33-percent better battery life than the first version, and will last six hours with noise cancellation on (plenty for a cross-country flight). While they don’t specify exactly how much longer the battery will last with noise cancellation off, Apple does claim it will deliver more time, which means I’ll be able to listen to music (and take calls if I have to) during an 80-mile gravel ride or a 15-mile trail run and not worry about the headphones crapping out.
Another new feature I’m thankful for lets you swipe up or down on the post of the bud to raise or lower the volume. (The swiping motion took a minute to figure out, but once you get it right, it’s easy.) This makes a big difference, especially when you’re on a bike and don’t want to reach down to fiddle with your watch or phone in a jersey pocket. I’ve never had problems getting the AirPods Pro to fit in my ears, but the new ones come with four different tip sizes, up from three for the original AirPods, to customize them so they fit snugly and comfortably.
True Transparency
Transparency mode means you can have the AirPods Pro in your ears and be able to hear your surroundings as naturally as possible. With the new AirPods Pro, transparency is significantly enhanced so that it sounds like I don’t even have headphones in. During Zoom meetings I’m able to clearly listen to whoever is speaking, but still feel like I have a complete understanding of what’s going on around me and don’t have to take the headphones out to rejoin the world.
Apple also says the new AirPods Pro come with something called adaptive transparency, which reduces the impact of loud noise, like sirens or jackhammers, when you’re walking around with them on transparency mode (I haven’t found a construction site to test this yet).
So Are They Worth $250?
Like all Apple products, the new Pros are not cheap. But I always try to break down a price by how much I use the product, and it’s clear that for $250 I’m getting a device that I’ll use nearly all day, most days—and they’re cheaper than comparable earbuds from Bose and Sony. For anyone who travels extensively, exercises regularly, or spends a fair share of time on Zoom meetings, the new AirPods Pro make all of these activities better and easier. And then of course there’s the audio itself. People who prefer over-the-ear headphones will stick with their top choice, but the rest of us who want one headphone for daily tasks and makes everyone from John Coltrane to Odesza sound great, will be really happy with the new AirPods Pro.

(WTXL) — Florida A&M University is now rolling out their plan to help keep their student athletes eligible to play with a greater emphasis on holding their student-athletes accountable, while offering more support.
"What we do know is what we currently had wasn't working or we wouldn't be in this problem, be in this position," Florida A&M University trustee Otis Cliatt said.
The Florida A&M University Board of Trustees are taking a look at the plan by FAMU's administration and staff to address the recent NCAA compliance issues that forced 20 football players to miss the team's first game of the season.
As of Monday, with around 8 players not-eligible, FAMU says they're going to be keeping a closer eye on their student athletes - offering help and assistance when needed.
"On a regular basis uh weekly by weekly basis, will be reviewing to determine. You know what are the needs for those students," FAMU interim athletics director Michael Smith said.
The School says that they're taking the accountability that was demanded of them by the Board of Trustees in early September seriously - in turn - they're also asking their student athletes to hold themselves accountable.
FAMU is currently trying to fill their five new compliance officer positions that will help keep their players eligible, and two athletic advisor staff positions. Soon, the staff will be holding weekly check-ins with athletes, while also keeping an eye at those more difficult classes.
"Working alongside our partners to identify those high-risk courses that our students may have some challenges in and making sure we match the resources on campus uh with learning specialists and folks in those areas that can help our students in any of the courses that they may have difficulty in," Smith said.
ABC 27 received an update Friday from the Housing Department at FAMU; they're telling ABC 27 a majority of students who were on the waitlist have either been housed on-campus, or found housing off-campus.
As for the Palmetto Phase III Apartments where students had to be evacuated for pests, the school says they are now doing weekly checks and monthly pest control spraying.

Museum of Aviation dedicates new engine display
The Museum held a celebration event to showcase the acquisition of a fully working engine for its C-7A "Caribou".
WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – The Museum of Aviation received a special exhibit for one of its older aircraft.
It held a celebration event to showcase the acquisition of a fully working engine for its C-7A “Caribou”, a plane the museum has had since 1985.
Nick Tcherniavsky is a member of the C7 Caribou Association. It’s a group of veterans dedicated to teaching others about the C7. He says the new display is important for showing the legacy of the Vietnam War.
“It is a time period in our history that does need to be preserved and there should be…really some visual things taught about it and I think that what they’ve done here at the museum is a very good start on that,” said Tcherniavsky.
The museum also set up a display next to the open cargo bay of the plane to showcase objects that would have been found on board, along with a painting showcasing the aircraft in action.

Nice weekend on the way
It is shaping up to be a pretty nice weekend in Middle Georgia, but the potential for tropical issues looms for next week.
What a change from yesterday for our weather in Middle Georgia!
Highs today topped out in the low 80s and upper 70s across the area with low humidity and clear skies.
Overnight we will see our temps fall into the mid 50s by Saturday morning.
Saturday will be our nicest day of the weekend with highs in the mid 80s and continued low humidity.
By Sunday a cold front will approach the area, allowing for a warm up back to the upper 80s.
Humidity will increase through the day on Sunday as well.
Behind the cold front, we should see immediate relief from the humidity, but cooler air will take its time to push in.
The tropics continue to stay pretty active with newly named Tropical Storm Hermine now forming off the coast of Africa.
At the moment we are not concerned with Hermine, but during this time of year we continue to monitor the Atlantic Basin.
What we do need to be concerned about is Tropical Depression Nine (which will likely become Tropical Storm Ian by Saturday).
Through the next few days, this storm will be moving into an environment that is more conducive to strengthening.
The National Hurricane Center is forecasting a major hurricane by Wednesday, when we could see landfall in Florida.
Keep in mind, that it is still early, and landfall will be possible anywhere within the threat cone (pictured above).
We still don’t know the direct impacts for Middle Georgia, but we will be updating through the week.
Back at home we will start to see a nice cool down through the week with high temps in the 70s by the middle of the week.
If the forecast for Ian shifts west, the forecast for Thursday through Saturday could be very different, so make sure you are staying up to date with the latest info.

YAKIMA, Wash. — A 19-year-old man from Puyallup is suspected of DUI charges after crashing into two cars trying to get away from a Washington State Patrol trooper in Yakima around 5:40 p.m. on September 23.
The man was driving a Nissan Altima on Interstate 82 before the collision, according to WSP. Multiple people called to report the car for aggressive driving around Milepost 38. A trooper saw him soon after around Milepost 35, noting traffic was slowed around Milepost 34.
The Nissan driver kept driving west in a middle lane, with cars on either side. The trooper tried to stop him, but he continued, hitting two cars. First he hit a Dodge Ram on his left, driven by a 30-year-old man from Yakima, then he hit a GMC Sierra on his right, driven by a 61-year-old man from Richland, according to the WSP report.
The 19-year-old Nissan driver was taken to the hospital for his injuries. WSP has labeled the cause of the crash as DUI and will recommend charges for him. The other two drivers were uninjured, according to WSP, and all three were wearing seatbelts.

Football: Bernards rallies past rival Delaware Valley in back-and-forth affair
ALEXANDRIA TOWNSHIP – Bernards High School’s football team won quite a bit at Delaware Valley on Friday night.
The Mountaineers not only earned their third straight win with a 17-14 triumph, they captured the Ray McCrann Mountain Valley Trophy, awarded to the winning team each year in the rivalry. They als just about secured a Big Central Conference Patriot Gold Division title.
Bernards is 4-1 overall and 3-0 in division with one divisional game left – Oct. 7 at winless Bound Brook. Del Val is 3-1 overall with division games left at Bound Brook next week and at South River on October 8.
The Terriers and Mountaineers put on another fine game in a series that has grown in stature the last few seasons. Bernards put together a seven-play, 71-yard drive that ended with junior quarterback Connor Laverty’s two-yard run that gave the Mountaineers a 17-14 lead with 3:24 left in regulation.
“You couldn’t have drawn it up any better, it was a fantastic game. You could tell how much it meant to both teams,” said Laverty. “I’m just so happy we came out on top. We worked so hard for this game.
“We knew coming in that it would be a four-quarter game, we knew it’d be a dogfight,” said Laverty.
FOOTBALL ROUNDUP: All your Week 4 football results in the Big Central Conference
Del Val scored on the first drive of the game on senior QB Jack Bill’s five-yard run, before the Mountaineers cut into the lead on Jonas Gonzalez’ 31-yard field goal. Bernards took the lead at 10-7 on Laverty’s 20-yard TD pass to Enzo Britez to cap the first drive of the second half.
Del Val regained the lead at 14-10 when Patrick Garlinghouse ran 50 yards for a score with 6:10 to play. Garlinghouse appeared to have been tackled, but kept his balance and complete the run.
WHATS NEXT
Bernards plays host to North Plainfield (0-4) in an intra division game next Friday night. Delaware Valley heads to Bound Brook (0-4).
BY THE NUMBERS
95 – The number of wins Jon Simoneau has as Bernards coach since taking over in 2008.
25 – The number of plays Bernards had in the last drive of the first half and first drive of the second.
6 and 0 – The turnovers Bernards had in last year’s 28-14 loss to the Terriers and the number it had Friday night.
12-5 – The edge held by Del Val in the series. Friday night’s win was Bernards’ second at Tapp Webb Memorial Field,
THEY SAID IT
“We talked about it at halftime, again we just made some mistakes, our mistakes weren’t turnovers this time, we took care of the football, we dropped some long passes, missed on some connections that were just off a little bit, but we kept our heads,” said Bernards coach Jon Simoneau.
HARDWARE
The trophy Bernards and Del Val play for is a tribute to late coach Ray McCrann, who died in 2016. He was a quarterback at old Frenchtown High School and Springfield (Mass.) College. He first served as an assistant at South Hunterdon and then as a defensive coordinator at Passaic. The Indians won state championships in 1981 and 1982 during the days of powerful running back and future NFL star Craig "Ironhead" Heyward.
Two of McCrann’s grandsons played at Bernards for Simoneau.

All non-bargaining employees of the U.S. Postal Service will get a 3% salary raise on their paychecks, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced.
The salary increase will go into effect on Sept. 24, and employees should see the change reflected on their pay stubs beginning Oct. 14. The raises will apply regardless of current salary maximums for all Executive and Administrative Schedule and non-bargaining unit employees.
“Much has been accomplished this past year in the face of significant challenges — the continued impact of a global pandemic and record inflation,” said DeJoy in a statement. “Our management team consistently rises to overcome these and other challenges and perform at a high level.
The National Association of Postal Supervisors said in a statement that while it applauds the agency’s recognition of financial hardship imposed by high costs of living, additional pay relief for EAS personnel will be required to offset the nearly 9% inflation of the past year.
NAPS is not a union, but advocates on behalf of 27,000 active and retired Postal Service workers and educates policymakers on the needs of this workforce. One of its biggest tentpoles has been fighting for competitive pay and benefits.
“Members of USPS bargaining units will receive greater salary increases through their ongoing contractual and cost-of-living adjustments and step increases in the months ahead, and EAS employees should receive additional increases to maintain an adequate salary differential above the craft employees and compensation comparable to the private sector, as required by law,” it said.
Two years ago, NAPS sued the Postal Service over the terms of its 2016-2019 pay package, arguing that the agency violated the Postal Act by failing to provide a pay differential between clerks and carriers and the supervisors that manage them.
The agency disagreed, saying provisions in the act merely state “policy goals” that the agency “should attempt to achieve,” but which are not not mandatory and enforceable directives.
That suit is still ongoing and not resolved by the pay increases announced this week, NAPS said.
The Postal Service employs approximately 625,000 workers, about 49,000 of whom are supervisors and other professional and administrative workers known as EAS employees.

Wayanad: The idyllic village of Kunhome in Kerala's Wayanad district was gripped by fear after the discovery of a Maoist banner on Saturday morning.
"Despite a history of fighting the fire-breathing guns of the British with bow and arrows, members of the Paniya tribe still lack a land to their name. Long years of pleading with the government have yielded little result. Perhaps, they might fight the government with their bow and arrows, maybe even guns," the banner reads.
The banner, calling the Paniya tribe to war with the government, was found plastered on the wall of the Thondernad panchayat bus stop and several shops in the vicinity.
In addition to demanding the government to give land to the tribals of the panchayat, it also exhorts the CPM government not to delay disbursing compensation for the victims of monsoon calamities.
Police has begun a probe into the incident. This is the second time this year that Maoist posters have been discovered in the northern districts of Kerala.
In April, a poster was found in Kozhikode's Mattikunnu area near Thamarassery criticising the ruling CPM government's SilverLine rail corridor project.
In it, the outfit labelled the project as "anti-people" and expressed their solidarity with the people opposing it.
The outfit had also equated the policies of the Left government to that of the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre.
Maoist (or Naxalite) is a term used to label members of the Communist Party of India (Maoist), a banned communist political party and militant organisation.
It aims to overthrow "semi-colonial and semi-feudal Indian states" through people's war. The party has been designated a terrorist organisation in India under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act since 2009. Maoists currently operate in the forest belt around central India, north-east India, and tribal-dominated areas of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala.
CPM or Communist Party of India (Marxist) is different from the Maoist for the simple reason that they are operating in an amicable way to the practices of the Indian Constitution.
While CPM participates in the democratic election processes of the country, the Maoist attempt to meet their objectives in subversive ways.
No stranger to revolution
Wayanad's Kunhome is no stranger to revolution. After all, it is here that Talakkal Chanthu, the foremost lieutenant of Pazhassi Raja, and warrior woman Kunki, fought the British for many years.
Kunhome, littered with homesteads and fields, also boasts of a fort where Pazhassi's soldiers camped.

Traveling to take on the Prowlers of Thief River Falls, on Sept. 23, the Fergus Falls Otters left their offense at home, in a 34-0 loss, in a Section 8AAA clash. The ball control minded Prowlers capitalized on special teams in the first half and used a late defensive stop in the first 24 minutes to keep the momentum on their side in the second half.
Fergus received the ball to begin the contest and went three and out.
Thief got solid field position, starting at their own 47 yard line. The Prowlers picked up a couple of first downs before back to back negative plays put them at fourth and long. Fergus was able to get the stop and it was a turnover on downs for the home squad.
The second possession of the contest saw the Otters once again go three-and-out. On the ensuing punt, TRF and Jack Manning, a senior, got a block plus a scoop and score, a special teams touchdown. The extra point was good and it was 7-0 Thief, with 2:57 left in the first.
Another three-and-out forced the Otters to punt, giving the Prowlers the ball back at their own 43.
Thief picked up a pair of first downs and was threatening at the edge of the red zone, but a fumble was recovered by the Otters
On the first play, for Fergus, Levi King rumbled for 18 yards, giving the Otters their first first down a few minutes into the second quarter. Facing a third and long, Jack Ratz ran for 15 yards, picked up a first down and moved the ball into TRF territory for the first time in the game. Fergus continued to move the football, moving into the red zone with less than five minutes left in the half.
After picking up a first down, the Otters set themselves up with first and goal from the five. Back to back negative plays made it fourth and goal from the 24. A heavy to the end zone came up empty and Fergus was unable to score, late in the first half. Thief River ran out the clock and led 7-0 at half.
The Otters had -2 yards in the first quarter and finished with 52 total yards of offense at half, TRF had 90 yards of offense. Both teams picked up five first downs over the first 24 minutes of the game.
Thief took the opening kick of the second half and marched the ball down the field, resulting in a one-yard touchdown plunge by Caleb Rosendahl. The point after was no good, making it 13-0 with 6:34 left in the third. It was a 75 yard, 11 play drive.
A short pooch kick on the next kickoff was recovered by the Prowlers, setting them up first and 10 inside the Otters 40.
TRF took advantage of the short field, getting another one-yard touchdown run, this time by Griffin Lundeen. The two point conversion was good and with 4:22 left in the third, it was 21-0 in favor of the Prowlers.
The Otters were unable to answer on the next offensive drive, as they picked up a first down and moved the ball towards midfield, but were forced to punt. The momentum was firmly on the home side.
TRF made it three for three on touchdown drives in the second half, as they scored on a quarterback keeper by Rosendahl. The PAT was good, making it 28-0, with 7:29 left in the game. It was a 13 play, 65 yard drive.
With both teams starting to get backup players in, the Otters moved the ball near midfield but then a wild snap resulted in a fumble and a massive loss, as the Prowlers got the ball back, inside the Fergus 30 later in the contest.
Thief finished off the scoring with a touchdown under 20 seconds left in the game, making it a 34-0 final.
“When you have a chance to make a play, you need to make it and we didn’t,” said Otters coach Steve Olson. “We are dealing with some lineman that are out, but you have to be ready to play and every team goes through injuries, we didn’t handle that well tonight and they capitalized on it.”
Lundeen finished with 99 yards on the ground and 90 yards for Jake Friedrich, as TRF finished with 266 yards, all rushing. Fergus Falls had just 60 yards of offense in the game and six first downs.
Now at 1-3 on the season, the Otters have homecoming week on the way. They will play the Perham Yellowjackets, on. Sept. 30.

There were plenty of momentum swinging opportunities for Damien to give Bishop Amat a scare, and who knows, maybe something even more special for a team that hasn’t had much go right over the past two football seasons.
But when you don’t cash in on chances against Bishop Amat, especially with all the buzz and excitement of a big home crowd urging you on, you know what happens next.
Bishop Amat turned a 14-point game at half into a 35-7 victory Friday night, and Lancers quarterback Richie Munoz torched the Spartans in every way imaginable, rushing for 115 yards and a touchdown, and throwing for 209 yards and three touchdowns.
Amat receiver Delano Franklin also had a big game, hauling in six receptions for 128 yards and three touchdowns.
During the postgame handshakes, however, it got ugly. Bishop Amat coach Steve Hagerty refused to shake Damien coach Matt Bechtel’s hands, accusing Bechtel of slapping his hands during last year’s postgame handshake at Amat. A few minutes later, both teams were involved in shoving as an ugly scene evolved.
Hagerty refused to talk after, and Bechtel also wasn’t available for comment as both teams hurried their teams away after the altercation. Players from both teams were not available for comment, either.

Bishop Amat (4-1) heads to the Mission League next week against Sierra Canyon. Damien (1-5) lost its fourth straight and is just 4-12 over the past two seasons, and will hope to rebound in next week’s Baseline League opener at Upland.
Spartans quarterbak Dylan Gutierrez passed for 209 yards and a touchdowns, but also had two interceptions.
Amat didn’t waste any time.
Munoz quieted the home crowd on the first play of the game, running 63 yards up the middle for a touchdown and 7-0 lead.
Damien’s answer was just as impressive.
The Spartans marched 63 yards in just five plays. Gutierrez threw 14-, 11- and 34-yard passes to move the Spartans within striking range, and Gutierrez finished it with a 6-yard touchdown run to tie the score, 7-7.
Munoz, though, was just getting started.
After throwing two consecutive first-down passes, he tossed a 13-yard pass to Delano Franklin up the left sideline to go back in front 14-7.
Damien had chances to draw even again, but couldn’t take advantage. They were bailed out on a roughing the kicker penalty, had a drive extended on a roughing the passer penalty, and had another chance after Amat’s Delano Franklin fumbled near midfield.
The Spartans couldn’t cash in, and that allowed Amat to double its lead in the final minute of the half.
Munoz completed a 19-yard touchdown pass to Dominic Bryant Rubio with 58 seconds left to go up 21-7, and it remained that way at the break.
The Spartans needed to score on their opening drive of the third quarter and Gutierrez got them going with a 41-yard pass. But on the next play, Gutierrez’s pass was tipped, and Amat came down with the interception.
That would be costly, because the Lancers extended their lead on a fourth-and-short when Munoz hit Franklin on a screen, and he did the rest, going 47 yards for the score and a 28-7 lead midway through the third quarter.
Munoz and Franklin hooked up again in the fourth quarter to put it away, Munoz hitting Franklin on a 53-yard touchdown pass over the middle with 10:12 left.

The San Gabriel football team’s hot start to the season continues thanks to a hot start to its game against Temple City. The Matadors scored 28 points in the first quarter to cruise past the Rams 49-12 on Friday night in the final nonleague game for both teams.
“We used to have one win, two win, three win seasons,” said San Gabriel coach Kevin Encinas of his program’s past. “But now the kids are getting it. I’m super proud of them.”
San Gabriel (5-0) will enter Almont League play next week against Schurr undefeated thanks to a solid defensive performance as well as key contributions by several playmakers on offense led by running back Robert Lucero. He carried the ball 21 times for 166 yards and scored three touchdowns.
“He’s a great kid,” Encinas said of Lucero. “He’s a senior. He had a good year last year but we lost him late in the season to an ankle injury but he’s running hard right now.”
Ivan Can caught six passes for 92 yards and scored two touchdowns for San Gabriel. He also had two interceptions. Matador quarterback Jacob Muniz completed 12 of 17 passes for 167 yards and three touchdown passes. His twin brother, fullback Elijah Muniz, rushed for 81 yards on five carries.
The Matadors wasted no time scoring. After they recovered an onside kick to start the game, the Matadors marched 50 yards in five plays for a touchdown when Lucero scored on a 3-yard run with 8:54 left in the opening quarter for a 7-0 lead.
Temple City’s Isaiah Douglas fumbled on the Rams’ first offensive play which was recovered by Matthew Garcia at the San Gabriel 49. The Matadors then needed six plays to grab a 14-0 lead in the quarter when Lucero scored his second touchdown when he plunged into the end zone from 2 yards out.
Can intercepted a Jake Jones pass on Temple City’s next possession. He returned it 16 yards to the Rams 25. Can scored his first touchdown two plays later when he took a toss and cut back toward the middle for a 15-yard score.
Can made it 28-0 on the quarter’s last play when he caught a Muniz pass in the end zone after streaking down the left side for an 18-yard touchdown.
Temple City’s first touchdown came early in the second quarter when Jones hit Gregory Hidalgo in the middle of the end zone on a slant for a 2-yard score. That ended a five-play, 66-yard drive that was highlighted when Jones hit Ethan Ramirez for a 46-yard reception that gave Temple City the ball at the San Gabriel 16.
The Matadors extended their lead to 35-6 halfway through the third quarter when Muniz found Tijani Daley crossing for a 19-yard touchdown pass. They scored two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter thanks to a 25-yard touchdown pass from Muniz to Daniel Lopez and a Lucero 7-yard run.
The Rams’ second touchdown came when Jones found Judah Douglas for an 8-yard pass early in the fourth quarter.
San Gabriel held Temple City to minus-1 rushing yards and 192 yards total. Temple City was never able to establish a running game.
Jones completed 18 of 37 passes for 193 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Douglas caught seven passes for 63 yards. Nick Sunderman caught four passes for 51 yards and Hidalgo caught six passes for 33 yards.
Temple City will start Rio Hondo League play next week against Pasadena Poly.

Memphis football DL commit Jayden Marable on fumble return TD for Smyrna: 'I had to get to that end zone'
MURFREESBORO − Most of the talk around Smyrna football this week has been the flood of Power 5 offers senior linebacker and Memphis commitment Arion Carter has gotten over a span of four days.
Senior defensive lineman and fellow Memphis commit Jayden Marable, who has played on varsity with Carter since their freshman season, realizes the new recruiting developments might mean the two may not continue that bond for four more years.
"He's got to pick what's best for him," Marable said. "He's going to do his work and I'm going to love him. We may not end up going to the same school, but he will be my teammate forever."
Marable has done his part to keep Memphis fans excited, joining Carter to help make Smyrna one of the top defensive teams in the area.
More:Tennessee high school football scores
He had eight tackles and two sacks, one of those forcing a fumble that he returned 27 yards for a touchdown, in the Bulldogs' 15-5 win over Riverdale on Friday night.
The defensive touchdown was the first of his career.
"I was just really excited," Marable said. "I thought I was fixing to drop the ball for a second, but I saw I had it secured, and I had to get to that end zone."
"I've seen him play some really good games," Smyrna coach Matt Williams said. "But this might have been one of his best. He had a heck of a game last year against them (Riverdale). He's unblockable. I've said that over and over again. He's such a good player and a great kid. He's really fun to be around."
The 6-foot-2, 280-pound Marable committed to the Tigers on June 25. He said Memphis coaches have done a good job communicating, even after the commitment.
"I'm real excited (about Memphis)," said Marable, who plans to take a visit to Memphis in the next couple of weeks. "(Defensive line) Coach (Kyle) Pope and Coach Ryan (Silverfield) stay in touch and make sure I'm good and my family's good."
Marable now has nine tackles for loss and three sacks this season. Smyrna (5-0) has allowed just 18 total points in its last three games and hasn't allowed more than 14 in any contest.

"It starts with (defensive coordinator and weightlifting coach Gabe Villarreal)," said Smyrna senior quarterback Landon Miller, who returned to the lineup after injuring his shoulder during Week 2. "He brings the same energy every day."
While Carter has quickly become one of the state's top linebackers, it all starts up front with Marable, nicknamed "Juice" by his teammates.
"He's a star," said Miller, who was starting at free safety before the injury. "This is what Juice is, showing us what he can do."
"I just told my teammates I'm going to give my best every game," Marable said. "I'll make big plays and they'll hype me up, and they'll make big plays and I'll hype them up. I love my team. We're a big family, and I love it."

NEW STANTON, Pa. — The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) has confirmed that 54-year-old Charles Bergman, the man wanted for the murder of his wife, Theresa Bergman, has been arrested in New Stanton, Pennsylvania.
According to the office's Facebook page, after the arrest warrant was signed Friday morning, the sheriff's office reached out to the U.S. Marshal Service to request assistance to track down Bergman. Both the Lincoln County and Grant County Sheriff's Office worked with the U.S. Marshals, who were able to locate and arrest Bergman without incident.
This arrest comes after Charles and Theresa Bergman were reported missing on Sunday, Sept. 18.
According to LCSO, Bergman was arrested under suspicion of first-degree premeditated murder and will await extradition to Washington state.
The body of Bergman's wife, 53-year-old Theresa Bergman, was found in rural Lincoln County around 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 22, 2022.
Court documents suggest Charles Bergman may have murdered his wife after she returned home from New York, where she was visiting an old boyfriend.

LOS ANGELES — Louise Fletcher, a late-blooming star whose riveting performance as the cruel and calculating Nurse Ratched in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest” set a new standard for screen villains and won her an Academy Award, has died at age 88.
Fletcher died in her sleep surrounded by family at her home in Montdurausse, France, her agent David Shaul told The Associated Press on Friday. No cause was given.
After putting her career on hold for years to raise her children, Fletcher was in her early 40s and little known when chosen for the role opposite Jack Nicholson in the 1975 film by director Milos Forman, who had admired her work the year before in director Robert Altman’s “Thieves Like Us.” At the time, she didn’t know that many other prominent stars, including Anne Bancroft, Ellen Burstyn and Angela Lansbury, had turned it down.
“I was the last person cast,” she recalled in a 2004 interview. “It wasn’t until we were halfway through shooting that I realized the part had been offered to other actresses who didn’t want to appear so horrible on the screen.”
“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” went on to become the first film since 1934′s “It Happened One Night” to win best picture, best director, best actor, best actress and best screenplay.
Clutching her Oscar at the 1976 ceremony, Fletcher told the audience, “It looks as though you all hated me.”
She then addressed her deaf parents in Birmingham, Alabama, talking and using sign language: “I want to thank you for teaching me to have a dream. You are seeing my dream come true.”
A moment of silence was followed by thunderous applause.
Later that night, Forman made the wry comment to Fletcher and her co-star, Jack Nicholson: “Now we all will make tremendous flops.”
In the short run, at least, he was right.
Forman next directed “Hair,” the movie version of the hit Broadway musical that failed to capture the appeal of the stage version. Nicholson directed and starred in “Goin’ South,” generally regarded as one of his worst films. Fletcher signed on for “Exorcist II: The Heretic,” a misconceived sequel to the landmark original.
Far more than her male peers, Fletcher was hampered by her age in finding major roles in Hollywood. Still, she worked continuously for most of the rest of her life. Her post-“Cuckoo’s Nest” films included “Mama Dracula,” “Dead Kids" and “The Boy Who Could Fly.”
She was nominated for Emmys for her guest roles on the TV series “Joan of Arcadia” and “Picket Fences,” and had a recurring role as Bajoran religious leader Kai Winn Adami in “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine." She played the mother of musical duo Carpenters in 1989's “The Karen Carpenter Story.”
Fletcher’s career was also hampered by her height. At 5-feet-10, she would often be dismissed from an audition immediately because she was taller than her leading man.
Fletcher had moved to Los Angeles to launch her acting career soon after graduating from North Carolina State University.
Working as a doctor’s receptionist by day and studying at night with noted actor and teacher Jeff Corey, she began getting one-day jobs on such TV series as “Wagon Train,” “77 Sunset Strip” and “The Untouchables.”
Fletcher married producer Jerry Bick in the early 1960s and gave birth to two sons in quick succession. She decided to put her career on hold to be a stay-at-home mother and didn’t work for 11 years.
“I made the choice to stop working, but I didn’t see it as a choice,” she said in the 2004 interview. “I felt compelled to stay at home.”
She divorced Bick in 1977 and he died in 2004.
In “Cuckoo’s Nest,” based on the novel Ken Kesey wrote while taking part in an experimental LSD program, Nicholson’s character, R.P. McMurphy, is a swaggering, small-time criminal who feigns insanity to get transferred from prison to a mental institution where he won’t have to work so hard.
Once institutionalized, McMurphy discovers his mental ward is run by Fletcher's cold, imposing Nurse Mildred Ratched, who keeps her patients tightly under her thumb. As the two clash, McMurphy all but takes over the ward with his bravado, leading to stiff punishment from Ratched and the institution, where she restores order.
The character was so memorable she would become the basis for a Netflix series, “Ratched,” 45 years later.
Estelle Louise Fletcher was born the second of four children on July 22, 1934, in Birmingham. Her mother was born deaf and her father was a traveling Episcopal minister who lost his hearing when struck by lightning at age 4.
“It was like having parents who are immigrants who don’t speak your language,” she said in 1982.
The Fletcher children were helped by their aunt, with whom they lived in Bryant, Texas, for a year. She taught them reading, writing and speaking, as well as how to sing and dance.
It was those latter studies that convinced Fletcher she wanted to act. She was further inspired, she once said, when she saw the movie “Lady in the Dark” with Ginger Rogers.
That and other films, Fletcher said, taught her “your dream could become real life if you wanted it bad enough.”
“I knew from the movies,” she would say, “that I wouldn’t have to stay in Birmingham and be like everyone else.”
Fletcher's death was first reported by Deadline.
She is survived by her two sons, John and Andrew Bick.
The late AP Entertainment Writer Bob Thomas contributed biographical material to this report.

The junior quarterback completed a career-high 30 passes for 323 yards and three touchdowns despite missing injured Spartans’ star WR Jayden Reed. Thorne ranks third in the Big Ten and 23rd in the FBS with seven passing touchdowns.
FACTS & FIGURES

Pianist Evgeny Kissin speaks out on Ukraine
In conversation with Michael Church, Evgeny Kissin shares frank thoughts about the invasion of Ukraine and how this relates to his experiences of anti-Semitism while growing up in the USSR
It’s an ill wind… Temporarily prevented from performing in Verbier by tendonitis in his left shoulder, Evgeny Kissin suddenly has time on his hands and is in a mood, I’m told, to give an interview. So I jump straight in, because this is a man who normally does his best to avoid giving any interviews at all. What has triggered this volte-face?
I get the answer before I’ve had the chance to ask my first question, as he launches into a diatribe, eyes blazing with fury: ‘We’re here in Switzerland, and this morning I read that this beautiful country has refused to treat wounded Ukrainian soldiers, citing its traditional neutrality.’
A few hours later it emerges that Switzerland will row back on that prohibition, but Kissin’s rage encompasses all democratic countries which don’t put their shoulder to the wheel in the Ukraine war. He very much approves of Britain’s support for Zelensky, but thinks Britain should press on militarily even harder, until Ukraine wins the war and Putin is defeated.
He then offers a detailed catalogue of Putin’s crimes, from turning Russia back into a totalitarian state to his nonsensical assertion that Ukraine’s government is undemocratic, and to his claim that that country is a hotbed of Nazism. ‘Yet since the end of the Gorbachev period,’ says Kissin, ‘Russia has literally been teeming with fascist organisations and publications. And although the Russian criminal code states that igniting ethnic, racial or religious hatred is punishable by law, no one has been punished.’ Putin’s propaganda, he adds, ‘involves lying in a special way, best expressed in the Russian saying that the thief shouts “stop thief” more loudly than anybody else.’
More like this
Kissin’s fans tend to think of him as a dweller in the serene uplands of musical thought, and they may find this outburst of pugilism surprising, but in the course of our three-hour conversation I come to realise that that pugilism has always been there under the surface, fuelled by everything Kissin experienced in his 20 years’ residence in the Soviet Union, and by everything he’s observed of Russia since leaving it. And if you look at the library on his website, you’ll see that he’s long been a vigorous participant in European and Middle Eastern political debate.
- Russian pianists banned from international competitions following invasion of Ukraine
- Thomas Sanderling joins other conductors in resigning from Russian orchestras
- International Tchaikovsky Competition expelled from World Federation of International Music Competitions
- Valery Gergiev dropped by festivals, concert halls and management, due to his ties with Putin
- Leading musicians launch petition against the 'blanket boycott' of Russian artists
- Vasily Petrenko steps away from post at Russian orchestra until peace is restored
‘I have always hated giving interviews,’ he tells me, ‘but now I am going to give them, in order to inform as many people in the free world as possible of what I have observed in Russia. And I have to say that although by no means all Russians are anti-Semites, Russia is one of the most anti-Semitic countries in the world.’ Kissin, with many Russian friends, is emphatically no Russophobe, and this comment should be taken in the same sense it would if applied to Victorian England, where Dickens’s Fagin was a popular racial stereotype.
As a voracious reader of classic Russian and European literature, Kissin quotes chapter and verse to prove his point. From among 20th-century authors, he singles out Vladimir Nabokov’s assertion in his novel The Gift that most Russians were prejudiced against Jews. He quotes the Russian writer Yuri Nagibin’s pronouncement: ‘If there is one characteristic which unifies Russia’s population – I don’t use the word “nation”, because a nation without democracy is a mere rabble – it is anti-Semitism.’ He adduces the massacre of many thousands of Jews near the Russian village of Zmievka, identified and sent to their deaths by their Russian neighbours. And he stresses the oft-forgotten fact that the Jew-hating Protocols of the elders of Zion – which strongly influenced Hitler – were concocted not in Germany, but in Russia.
So when was Kissin first aware of his own stigmatisation? ‘I knew it from my earliest childhood. I felt it constantly on my own skin, when I was a child. I mentioned this briefly in my autobiography, but now I should tell some details. I remember kids of my own age – and even younger – harassing me. I remember some of them finding a big stick and saying that they would use it to make me into a Jew kebab. I remember a man in the house where I was living, an old grandfather, telling me, “You bloody Jew, just take yourself off from here.” My elder sister had the same experience. All the Russian Jews I know have had that experience. And this was not state anti-Semitism. It came from the ordinary people.’
So what nationality does he feel? Witty and well-read, he mocks the banality of the question. ‘Since early childhood we Jews were always being told that we were not Russian. Consider the Russian literature with which we all grew up – you’ll find the word “yid” on almost every page.’ Was Turgenev’s writing tainted? ‘He wrote a short story entitled The Yid, whose plot concerned an old Jewish spy who was selling his beautiful daughter to Russian officers.’ And Dostoevsky? Kissin fires straight back. In one of the closing scenes of Crime and Punishment, he says, where Svidrigailov commits suicide, he does it in the presence of a Jewish soldier. ‘And not only does Dostoevsky mock the soldier’s manner of speech, his description of the man’s facial expression reflects the most contemptuous kind of stereotyping: “His face wore that everlastingly peevish and woebegone look which has been sourly imprinted on all the faces of the Jewish race without exception.”’ OK, QED.
When Kissin does give an answer to the nationality question, it’s oblique but emphatic: ‘I always felt Jewish. Russian was my first language, and only in that respect am I Russian.’
However, in these matters Kissin is as keen to absolve as to point an accusatory finger. Tikhon Khrennikov, who was Secretary of the Union of Soviet Composers from 1948 to 1991, and who acted first as Stalin’s musical tsar, then as the government’s spokesman on musical taste, is widely regarded as having had a repressively philistine influence on Russian musical life. In 1948 he spearheaded the attacks on Prokofiev and Shostakovich among others, in the Zhdanov purge of unacceptable musical styles. Western musicologists have demonised him.
Kissin was one of this man’s protégés, and he subsequently got to know and love him as a friend. Though admitting that he was ‘no angel’, he regards him as unjustly maligned. ‘One must distinguish between words and deeds, especially if one has a high position in a totalitarian regime. Inevitably, some people had bad relations with him, but on the whole he was loved for his generosity in using his position to help people. I had nothing but kindness from him, and he particularly helped Jewish composers during Stalin’s anti-Semitic campaign. For some of them he was literally their saviour.
‘It was in his house, not mine,’ he continues, ‘that I, as a teenager who had grown up in an assimilated Jewish household, first heard the words “Kol Nidrei”, the name of the Jewish prayer. Khrennikov’s wife used them to describe the way a violinist was playing the second movement of Tchaikovsky’s Concerto. Khrennikov also knew those words, and what they meant. His wife was Jewish, and in his family they celebrated all the Jewish holidays.’ Then Kissin adds a clincher: ‘Unlike in all the other creative unions of the Soviet Union, not one single member of the composers’ union was killed in the purges. Khrennikov protected all his members.’
Politics have occluded the fact that Khrennikov was also a composer. Kissin regards him as a gifted melodist, and has translated some of his song texts into Yiddish; he quotes composer Nino Rota as saying that if Khrennikov had set up in Hollywood, he would have become a millionaire.
Last month Kissin released a CD which represents the opening salvo in a campaign to rehabilitate Khrennikov’s musical reputation. The Salzburg Recital (DG) includes a series of short pieces, chosen by Kissin, which Khrennikov composed while in his twenties. Playfully dissonant and possessing a fey charm, they could easily pass for Prokofiev, and they sit nicely with Kissin’s sly Dodecaphonic Tango and the Gershwin Preludes which follow.
But Chopin – Kissin’s great love – occupies much of the new release, and here too, the current war obtrudes. Kissin points out that Chopin wrote his B minor Scherzo as a reaction to the Russian invasion of Warsaw in 1831, and his A flat minor Polonaise to celebrate the victory of the Polish army over the Russians near Grochów. ‘Those pieces are now very relevant,’ he says, ‘and since the war started, I have always played the A flat Polonaise as an encore.’
Then comes a revelation: ‘Many musicians hear words as they play, and I do too, but my texts are anti-Putin ones. When playing Mozart’s G minor piano quartet recently, I heard the Russian words for “Down with Putin” again and again. My Russian partners loved that.’
On the evening prior to this interview we’d seen Kissin in very unfamiliar guise, performing with the baritone Thomas Hampson in a semi-staged production of Kathrine Kressmann Taylor’s Hollywood two-hander Address Unknown. This is an epistolary drama between two German art dealers, Max (here played by Kissin) being in San Francisco, with Martin sending him the news from Germany as it unfolds in the mid-Thirties.
At first Martin is all for new-broom Hitler, lambasting Max for his political pessimism, until finally even Martin can’t deny reality. The plot has striking parallels with the present, reflecting as it does the splitting of families and friendships: between those outside the country knowing the truth, while those inside it are brainwashed. As Kissin observes, this is the mirror-image of Ukraine and Russia today, and there’s the possibility of a professional production of this play in London soon.
Kissin has written short stories in the past, but now he is engaged in writing a novel in Yiddish – a love story set in the Soviet Union of the 1970s, with the male character being a young Jewish pianist who is studying with Emil Gilels (a hero of Kissin’s, and also one of Kissin’s admirers).
But the project occupying most of Kissin’s thought at present is a piano trio he is composing. ‘It’s about the war in Ukraine,’ he says defiantly. ‘A few years ago, some bars of music came to me, and I wrote them down on a piece of paper, which I kept in my wallet. Then I realised that it should be the beginning of a piece about the war.’ For violin, cello and piano, its second movement was to be premiered by Mischa Maisky and his son and daughter at Verbier, but they didn’t have time to learn it; the finale is unfinished. Kissin talks me through his musical scenario: from an ominous introduction, via bombings (multiple glissandi) to the people’s sufferings (which he illustrates by singing two Slavic Ukrainian folk songs) and finally to victory. ‘I feel I have to do everything I can,’ he says, ‘whether it’s participating in concerts for Ukraine, or writing music for it.’
To put it mildly, this interview has been a surprise. I had anticipated a decorous discussion of musical arcana, but instead we got Evgeny Kissin the Jewish warrior.

Archaeologists have re-exposed the remains of a Roman mosaic floor built into Folkestone's East Cliff that is in danger of sinking into the sea. The cliff's clay composition means the site could crumble completely within the next 100 years.
The mosaic had been hidden from public view for 65 years and was part of a large Roman villa's dining room built during the second century AD, housing over 50 rooms and two bath suites. The remains were initially excavated in the 1920s and opened as a tourist attraction, but was closed and reburied in 1957 due to running costs.
Continuous coastal erosion has already claimed the remains of several rooms of one of the bath suites. The mosaic is made of thousands of tiny pieces of cut tile and coloured stones.

The local council had erected a cover building during it's time as a tourist attraction to protect if from the elements, but it suffered damage during the Second World War. Discussions are to be had about the site's future, with options including lifting what remains of the floor for preservation in a museum.
Canterbury Archaeological Trust has been working on the site since 2010. The trust have led teams of local volunteers and university students in excavations with the aim of recording what remains at the site.
Lead site archaeologist Keith Parfitt said: "The aim of the excavation in 2022 is to determine just how much of the mosaic now survives so it can be decided how best to preserve what is left.
"We really didn’t know quite what to expect. I would not have been surprised if there was nothing left at all. The villa at Folkestone represents a very important site in the archaeology of southern Britain."
The villa is on top of even earlier signs of life, with buildings from the late Iron Age also being discovered in the cliff. Native Britons had occupied the site for centuries before the Roman invasion.
The pre-Roman remains are considered to be even more important in some ways. However, these structures have long since been destroyed by time and weather, making them harder to identify, having been made of less durable timber and thatch.
Excavation teams in the 1920s discovered that around two thirds of the mosaic survived, but following the damage in the War the remains had seen better days before closing to the public. It is hoped community groups, schools and residents will be able to view the site on guided tours before it's reburied.

A family-run micropub in the village of Cranbrook has been named among CAMRA's top 16 pubs in the UK. They will now go through along with the other finalists to compete for the prestigious title of 'Pub of the Year 2022.'
Larkins' Alehouse in Cranbrook was opened in 2017 by sisters Julie and Wendy, and husbands Kevin and Mark. None of them have a background in hospitality, but have already managed to rack up some accolades and make their mark not only in the village, but the within industry.
Since opening in 2017 they have won Maidstone and Mid Kent CAMRA Branch Pub of the Year, and Kent Cider Pub of the Year in 2019 and 2020. And reached the finals of National Cider Pub of the Year in 2019.
KentLive spoke to them to find out the secret behind their success. Julie said: "My sister and I wanted to go into business for a long time, but we didn't really know what to do. Friends of ours had started up a micropub and the four of us would go there for a drink, one day we just thought 'we could do this' and that is how it all came about. We started looking for premises and then the place we have now, which used to be a florist came up for rent so we just decided to go for it."
Julie and Wendy have grown up Cranbrook are very involved in village life outside of the pub, they help to organise events such as Cranbrook on the Green, which is an annual food and drink festival, classic car show, and dog show. Julie said: "We do get involved a lot in the community and organise quite a few fundraising events.
"When we thought about opening the pub, being able to provide somewhere that the community can come together was at the very important to us really. We don't have phones in the pub, no tv, no music we want to encourage people to talk to each other, and it has worked."
The pub was named Larkins' as that is Julie and Wendy's maiden name. And other members of the family often come to help out, including 'Pop Larkin', Julie's father.
She said: "We can fit around 25/30 people inside and we have an outside area that can seat the same. I also cook food if people want it, I cook it at home and bring it into the pub as we don't have the facilities here.
"We also have snacks on the bar for our customers such as pork pies, sausage rolls, like they used to do years ago. We wanted to bring back that old fashioned community pub feel. A lot of people have said they have become friends because of Larkins"
"Someone said to me a couple of weeks ago that 'everybody knows everybody because of Larkins'.

Lidl - Stewart Brewing Crazy Haze - Hazy IPA
The beer has been recalled as a precaution over safety fears. Lidl is only recalling IPAs with lot codes L1, L2, L3 and L4. They say possible overpressure of cans may cause bulging and potential rupture due to over-carbonation which could result in injury.
Anyone with the item should visit their nearest supermarket for a full refund or exchange. Other lot codes or Stewart Brewing products are not affected by this recall, reports the Liverpool Echo.
If you have bought the product, you are advised not to open it. Instead, place in a plastic bag and chill thoroughly, and handle it carefully when returning it to a Lidl GB store for a full refund, with or without a receipt.
Aldi - Bramwells Tartare Sauce
Anyone who has purchased certain batches of Bramwells Tartare Sauce can now get a full refund at their local Aldi store. The budget retailer says the recall on the table sauce is because the product - which contains sulphates - has been incorrectly labelled.

(Motor Authority) — Ford has submitted a patent application for power outlets integrated into vehicle roof rails, which the automaker believes could come in handy while tailgating or camping.
Filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on January 12, 2021, and published on July 14, 2022, the application describes a pretty straightforward setup. Power outlets are added to roof rails, protected by removable covers, and connected to a power source in the vehicle.

Ford seems to view this as a good feature for tailgating or camping, as both are mentioned multiple times throughout the application. The automaker suggests everything from smartphones and laptops to portable heaters and lights could be plugged into roof rails to make outdoor gatherings more hospitable.
Use of vehicles to power electronic devices will likely increase with the continued rise of hybrids and EVs. Ford already offers built-in outlets for the beds of the PowerBoost hybrid and all-electric Lightning versions of the F-150 pickup truck, with the Lightning even able to charge other EVs or provide emergency backup power for homes, the automaker claims.

Other automakers also offer ways to power your devices. Mitsubishi has offered this capability on the Outlander Plug-In Hybrid for some time, and Hyundai included it as part of its E-GMP dedicated EV platform. But no automaker has put outlets in the roof rails of a production vehicle so far.
It’s worth emphasizing a patent application does not constitute firm plans for production; automakers often file applications to protect intellectual property before any production plans are fleshed out. But one recent Ford patent application—for remote engine revving—did translate into a product feature on the 2024 Mustang.

EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – The 3,000-mile-plus journey of Zeus and Chanel to the U.S. border came to a happy ending.
The pair of pugs were reunited with their Venezuelan owners once the humans were released from Border Patrol custody this month.
The canines are just some of the pets – including rabbits, among others – that asylum seekers are bringing with them as they cross the Rio Grande from Mexico to El Paso. They get them back if their claims move forward and the pets are healthy.
“The family was ecstatic to see them again,” said Michele Anderson, marketing and public engagement manager at El Paso Animal Services. “When I spoke to the family a day before, the woman was crying, really worried about her pugs and making sure they were being well taken care of.”
Border Patrol El Paso Sector Chief Agent Gloria I. Chavez said the agency contacts the local animal shelter whenever individuals who cross the border illegally and surrender to agents bring pets with them.
“We had situations like we encountered here today. There was a dog that came with one of the migrant families. The other day there was a rabbit that came through, so you never know what the Border Patrol is going to encounter at the border,” Chavez said. “We’re trying to be humane, not only with the people, but also with the animals we encounter.”
The policy seems to vary from sector to sector. National news outlets have documented how border agents have forced Russian and Venezuelan migrants in Yuma, Arizona, and Eagle Pass, Texas, to abandon their pets. The agency does not track animal encounters.
Zeus and Chanel, a male and a female, were healthy and in good condition after the long journey, according to Anderson. “The family loves these two dogs. We were able to put them into a foster home with a local veterinarian who volunteered herself to take in these two pugs while the family was undergoing proper processing,” she said.
The family – a woman, her child, her cousin and his wife – were released by U.S. immigration after a couple of nights’ detention. They were staying at an El Paso hotel when Animal Services gave them back their pugs.
During their two days in custody, an animal rights group raised an undisclosed amount of money for the dogs and their owners to continue their journey to the interior of the United States. The pugs also got vaccinations and a health check.
“It was a very long trek. I’m sure the family saw a lot of things on the trip, but they protected those dogs,” Anderson said, adding how the migrants showed them cell phone videos of them interacting with the pugs back home.
“Those dogs are a huge part of their family. […] We’re happy to help. We believe pets are family (and) they’re coming with nothing but very little and still able to travel with their beloved pets. You can tell these pets mean everything to them,” she said.

(NEXSTAR) – It’s almost unthinkable that Up With People has been invited to perform at the Super Bowl on five separate occasions, and yet Taylor Swift never once headlined the Halftime Show.
Her fans, however, are convinced that 2023 is looking like her year, thanks to a couple of “clues” they believe the NFL and Apple Music dropped overnight.
The Super Bowl Halftime Show, which was most recently presented by Pepsi, has picked up a new sponsor in Apple Music, the NFL announced Friday. To coincide with the announcement, both the NFL and Apple Music shared social-media posts announcing their partnership at the stroke of midnight.
In doing so, they also set Swifties salivating.
The timing of the midnight posts, fans believe, is a reference to Swift’s upcoming album “Midnights,” which is due on Oct. 21. Some were also convinced that the font featured in the announcements matched that of her “Midnights” album cover.
“That’s 100% a Taylor Swift superbowl halftime show hint. Posted at midnight. In the Midnights font. SEE YOU IN FEBRUARY,” wrote one fan on Twitter.
“Super chaotic that the NFL announced the Super Bowl sponsor at midnight, so we all collectively knew it was going to be Taylor Swift playing the show. I love it so much,” another tweeted.
As pointed out by Variety, TMZ, and several other major entertainment outlets, Swift has also famously endorsed Diet Coke — a fact which wouldn’t have made her an ideal choice for a halftime performer between 2013 and 2022, when Pepsi was the event’s official sponsor.
Apple Music, on the other hand, was previously the exclusive home of Swift’s entire music catalog. Swift also starred in a 2016 commercial for Apple Music, in which she painfully faceplants on a treadmill.
Despite the speculation, neither Apple Music nor the NFL have confirmed Swift’s involvement at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show. Variety, meanwhile, is already reporting that “it’s happening,” citing three “sources close to the situation.” People magazine, on the other hand, claims they have learned just the opposite — that Swift is in no way scheduled to perform.
In any case, one thing is certain this early ahead of the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show: Up With People is almost certainly still available.

(AP) – Stocks tumbled worldwide Friday on mounting signs the global economy is weakening just as central banks raise the pressure even more with additional interest rate hikes.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.6%, closing at its lowest level since late 2020. The S&P 500 fell 1.7%, close to its 2022 low set in mid-June, while the Nasdaq slid 1.8%.
The selling capped another rough week on Wall Street, leaving the major indexes with their fifth weekly loss in six weeks.
Energy prices closed sharply lower as traders worried about a possible recession. Treasury yields, which affect rates on mortgages and other kinds of loans, held at multiyear highs.
European stocks fell just as sharply or more after preliminary data there suggested business activity had its worst monthly contraction since the start of 2021. Adding to the pressure was a new plan announced in London to cut taxes, which sent U.K. yields soaring because it could ultimately force its central bank to raise rates even more sharply.
The Federal Reserve and other central banks around the world aggressively hiked interest rates this week in hopes of undercutting high inflation, with more big increases promised for the future. But such moves also put the brakes on their economies, threatening recessions as growth slows worldwide. Besides Friday’s discouraging data on European business activity, a separate report suggested U.S. activity is also still shrinking, though not quite as badly as in earlier months.
“Financial markets are now fully absorbing the Fed’s harsh message that there will be no retreat from the inflation fight,” Douglas Porter, chief economist at BMO Capital Markets, wrote in a research report.
U.S. crude oil prices slid 5.7% to their lowest levels since early this year on worries that a weaker global economy will burn less fuel. Cryptocurrency prices also fell sharply because higher interest rates tend to hit hardest the investments that look the priciest or the most risky.
Even gold fell in the worldwide rout, as bonds paying higher yields make investments that pay no interest look less attractive. Meanwhile the U.S. dollar has been moving sharply higher against other currencies. That can hurt profits for U.S. companies with lots of overseas business, as well as put a financial squeeze on much of the developing world.
The S&P 500 fell 64.76 points to 3,693.23, its fourth straight drop. The Dow, which at one point was down more than 800 points, lost 486.27 points to close at 29,590.41. The Nasdaq fell 198.88 points to 10,867.93.
Smaller company stocks did even worse. The Russell 2000 fell 42.72 points, or 2.5%, to close at 1,679.59.
More than 85% of stocks in the S&P 500 closed in the red, with technology companies, retailers and banks among the biggest weights on the benchmark index.
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday lifted its benchmark rate, which affects many consumer and business loans, to a range of 3% to 3.25%. It was at virtually zero at the start of the year. The Fed also released a forecast suggesting its benchmark rate could be 4.4% by the year’s end, a full point higher than envisioned in June.
Treasury yields have climbed to multiyear highs as interest rates rise. The yield on the 2-year Treasury, which tends to follow expectations for Federal Reserve action, rose to 4.20% from 4.12% late Thursday. It is trading at its highest level since 2007. The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which influences mortgage rates, slipped to 3.69% from 3.71%.
Goldman Sachs strategists say a majority of their clients now see a “hard landing” that pulls the economy sharply lower as inevitable. The question for them is just on the timing, magnitude and length of a potential recession.
Higher interest rates hurt all kinds of investments, but stocks could stay steady as long as corporate profits grow strongly. The problem is that many analysts are beginning to cut their forecasts for upcoming earnings because of higher rates and worries about a possible recession.
“Increasingly, market psychology has transitioned from concerns over inflation to worries that, at a minimum, corporate profits will decline as economic growth slows demand,” said Quincy Krosby, chief global strategist for LPL Financial.
In the U.S., the jobs market has remained remarkably solid, and many analysts think the economy grew in the summer quarter after shrinking in the first six months of the year. But the encouraging signs also suggest the Fed may have to jack rates even higher to get the cooling needed to bring down inflation.
Some key areas of the economy are already weakening. Mortgage rates have reached 14-year highs, causing sales of existing homes to drop 20% in the past year. But other areas that do best when rates are low are also hurting.
In Europe, meanwhile, the already fragile economy is dealing with the effects of war on its eastern front following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The European Central Bank is hiking its key interest rate to combat inflation even as the region’s economy is already expected to plunge into a recession. And in Asia, China’s economy is contending with still-strict measures meant to limit COVID infections that also hurt businesses.
While Friday’s economic reports were discouraging, few on Wall Street saw them as enough to convince the Fed and other central banks to soften their stance on raising rates. So they just reinforced the fear that rates will keep rising in the face of already slowing economies.

BOWIE COUNTY, Texas (KTAL/KMSS) – KTAL NBC 6 Digital Anchor Brittany Defran and court reporter Carolyn Roy break down the testimony and evidence presented this week in the capital murder trial of Taylor Parker taking place in Bowie County.
Parker is accused of strangling, beating, and stabbing 21-year-old Reagan Simmons Hancock to death and cutting open her womb to take her unborn baby, Braxlynn Sage.
Prosecutors spent the first week of laying out the timeline leading up to the murder and establishing a motive: that Parker faked her pregnancy to keep her boyfriend from leaving her.
This week, they focused on presenting evidence to the jury that places Parker at the crime scene and proves she faked her pregnancy. On Thursday, jurors reviewed photos and video as former Bowie County Sheriff’s Office investigator Chad Ford walked them through the crime scene.
There were blood drops in the driveway and bloody smears in the garage. Hancock was face-down on the living room floor in a pool of blood. He said some of it was still wet and some of it was starting to coagulate. There were bloody shoe prints throughout the scene, from the garage door through the living room and down the hall leading to the bedrooms. Jurors saw photos of a bloody article of children’s clothing on the living room floor, spatters of blood on the walls and baseboards in the living room, and watery traces of blood on the sink in the kitchen.
“It was probably the bloodiest crime scene I’ve ever been to,” said Ford.
Hancock’s right arm was under her forehead. Her left arm was outstretched over her head. Ford testified that he could see apparent puncture stab wounds and a cut in her side deep enough to expose layers of fat. It was clear her injuries were not survivable. There were no signs of life. Paramedics never entered the house, Ford said, because they wanted to preserve the crime scene.
“It was a very shocking crime scene,” Ford said on the stand. “I believe the statement was, ‘No one could have survived that.”
They didn’t realize immediately that the baby had been taken. But when someone told Ford that she was pregnant, he tried to crouch down to see if the baby was gone without disturbing the crime scene before evidence could be logged and collected. Her belly should have been rounded and firm. Instead, it was sunken in.
Ford went back outside to find out what trimester she was in. When he learned she was 36 weeks along, he called LifeNet back to the scene to determine if the baby was still there and viable.
Video recorded at the scene and played in court Thursday showed LifeNet paramedic Jarrod Nall rolling Hancock’s body over and checking for a baby. Her belly was cut wide open, and there was no baby.
Ford says it all broke loose from there. He put out the call to alert every hospital, clinic, and women’s health facility within 100 miles. At the same time, 13.5 miles away in De Kalb, LifeNet EMT Paramedic Elton Crossland was trying to get baby Braxlynn’s heart beating.
Nall says he heard that call on the police radio.
“I heard one of our units responded earlier to an infant cardiac arrest. I just kind of filed it away. We don’t have to deal with deceased babies that often, so it’s notable. It was all very suspicious to me,” Nall testified. “Several things that don’t happen that often in a short period of time were happening.”
So, Nall says he reached out the crew that transported the baby.
“Our DOE was pregnant and had no baby,” Crossland recalls Nall telling him.
Before he even had to ask, Crossland told him something was not right about the woman claiming to be the baby’s mother. The placenta was down her pants, and she was refusing to let doctors examine her. There was no amniotic fluid or blood in the car like the kind you would expect to find after someone has given birth.
“It was more than enough for me to think, ‘Oh my God, this is all connected,” Nall testified.
Nall’s next call was to the New Boston Police Department. But someone else had already made the same connection and investigators were on their way to the hospital in Idabel. Ford testified that someone had called the Bi-State Justice Center to anonymously report that Parker was not physically able to be pregnant.
In the meantime, Crossland shared his suspicions with the doctors, who examined Parker and determined she had not just given birth.
Two ER nurses also testified Thursday. Parker’s vitals were fine and her labs were good for someone who had supposedly lost a lot of blood. There was “scant period blood” between her thighs, but no blood coming from her vaginal area. The nurses had trouble finding Parker’s uterus when they were pushing on her abdomen to ensure it clamped down so that it would not bleed.
“My findings were not normal for a woman who just delivered,” RN Carissa Bryan testified.
There was no hCG present in her system, the so-called pregnancy hormone that peaks during early pregnancy but is still typically present for at least a few weeks following childbirth.
Former McCurtain County Memorial Hospital Director of Admissions Brooke McGee testified that Parker listed herself as the baby’s mother when she filled out the admission forms and Wade Griffin as the baby’s father. She wrote on the form that her last period was in December 2019 and even indicated she intended to breastfeed. She put the child’s name as Clancy Gaile Griffin and checked the box giving the hospital permission to send birth data to the Oklahoma State Department of Health registries.
After that, McGee said they learned police were putting the word out that a six-week premature infant was missing and that they needed to notify authorities immediately. McGee called the New Boston Police Department.
The state is expected to wrap up its case next week. After that, it will be up to Parker‘s attorneys to present their case in her defense. So far, jurors have heard from 50 witnesses and more than 200 pieces of evidence.

HOUSTON (KIAH) – A chief constable in Texas is out of a job after he was arrested during a prostitution sting, according to authorities.
Brian Harris, who was the chief deputy for the Precinct 5 Constable’s Office in Harris County, was one of 14 people arrested by deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office in an undercover sting operation at a hotel on Wednesday night.
Harris was charged with solicitation of prostitution, a felony in Texas. He was released from the Montgomery County Jail on Thursday night, wearing a towel over his head as he was getting into a car.
After news of the arrest got out on Thursday, Harris County Precinct 5 Constable Ted Heap said Harris had been relieved of duty. Harris was Heap’s second-in-command at the constable’s office.
Harris had previously worked as a Houston police homicide detective before joining the constable’s office.
Harris’ arrest and termination also come just weeks after a deputy in Georgia was arrested during a similar sting in Florida.
Jason DiPrima, 49, was busted in early September after police in Polk County said he attempted to offer an undercover officer $180 in exchange for sex, Nexstar’s WFLA reported. He also brought a pack of White Claw Hard Seltzers to the meet-up location.
DiPrima ultimately resigned days later, the station confirmed.

CHICAGO (WGN) – September marks the 40th anniversary of the “Tylenol Murders” – seven Chicago-area poisoning deaths linked to tainted vials of the popular over-the-counter medicine.
To this day, it remains unsolved.
It was the fall of 1982 and the mystery gripped the nation in anxiety and fear. Someone poisoned extra-strength Tylenol, the best-selling pain reliever in America, with lethal doses of potassium cyanide.
The person responsible was never arrested and the public grappled with a wave of fear over tampering with everyday products at grocery stores.
But Chicago Tribune investigative reporters have uncovered new information that shows the case is still being actively investigated and some law enforcement officials say there’s enough circumstantial evidence to bring charges against the prime suspect.
Chicago Tribune investigative reporters Christy Gutowski and Stacy St. Clair have conducted a nine-month long investigation into the mystery surrounding the murders – interviewing 150 people across multiple states and reviewing tens of thousands of pages of documents.
“It’s an active investigation,” Gutowski said. “Investigators just got back in Illinois (Thursday) from being in Boston, the Cambridge area and interviewed Jim Lewis, the prime suspect.”
Their reporting reveals the FBI recorded a video of prime suspect James Lewis during a sting operation.
“We were able to look at undercover FBI video that was taken in 2007 right here in Chicago at the Sheraton Hotel,” Gutowski said.
The FBI interview indicates that Lewis knew about the Tylenol deaths before they were made public.
Lewis was a tax consultant who sent a letter to Johnson & Johnson and said he would stop the killing if the company paid him a million dollars. He was convicted of extortion and spent 12 years in prison. But investigators never found hard evidence to tie him to the poisonings.
“They went through some of his stuff and found the handbook of poisons,” St. Clair said. “And in the years since, they have finger printed that book and on page 196, the page that includes information on how much cyanide is needed for a fatal dose in the average human, they found Jim Lewis’s fingerprint.”
It’s circumstantial evidence, but law enforcement officials say they’re bringing it to Cook County and DuPage County prosecutors so they can consider bringing criminal charges 40 years after the Tylenol Murders.

ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — The autopsy report for Elijah McClain, the man who died after an encounter with the Colorado police and paramedics in 2019 has been amended.
The Adams County Coroner’s Office released the amended autopsy report on Friday to explain that McClain’s death resulted from complications of ketamine administration following forcible restraint.
McClain’s manner of death is still listed as undetermined.
“I believe this tragic fatality is most likely the result of ketamine toxicity. These deaths are usually classified as ACCIDENT. I do not have evidence of trauma or lethal asphyxiation during restraint sufficient to cause death,” the coroner explained.
The coroner’s office also said that at the time of the original autopsy report, the cause and manner of death were deemed undetermined because of insufficient information.
Since then, the coroner’s office said they received extensive body camera footage, witness statements, and additional records.
“After review of all material available to us at this time, it is my opinion that this 23-year-old, African American male, Elijah McClain, died of complications of ketamine administration following forcible restraint,” the coroner’s office explained.
Nexstar’s KDVR has been covering the McClain case since August 2019, when McClain was confronted by three Aurora police officers, injected with ketamine by paramedics and later died.
There have been many questions about McClain’s cause of death after he was put in a carotid hold and given ketamine.
An undetermined cause of death case makes it extremely difficult to prosecute a case, legal expert George Brauchler said.
Three police officers and two paramedics are facing manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide charges in McClain’s death and are scheduled to appear for an arraignment in November.
First responders involved in case
A 157-page independent investigation outlined several missteps in the police department’s handling of the internal investigation into what happened. The report even suggested investigators designed questions to help exonerate the officers involved.
Gov. Jared Polis issued an executive order in June 2020, assigning Attorney General Phil Weiser as a special prosecutor to investigate McClain’s death.
Dave Young was the DA for the 17th Judicial District when he issued a letter to Aurora Police on Nov. 22, 2019, detailing why he chose not to file criminal charges against anyone for the death of McClain.
Nearly two years later, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser announced there was enough evidence to file 32 counts, including manslaughter against five men. Three were police officers at the time and two were paramedics.

SUMMIT COUNTY, Ohio (WJW) – A Northeast Ohio man is warning others about a frightening phone scam that he said sounded terrifyingly real. But it was all a hoax.
“I panicked. I mean, I didn’t know what to do,” said Andy Jalwan.
Monday night, Jalwan was watching TV with his wife when his cellphone rang.
“It comes up caller ID, it’s my mom’s picture, her name and I pick up the phone and I just hear her crying and I say “Mom, mom, what’s wrong?” said Jalwan.
She does not answer.
“Next thing you know, the male voice comes on the line and he says ‘I just carjacked this woman. If you don’t do everything I say, you know, I’m going to kill her,” said Jalwan.
Jalwan lives in Summit County, while his mother lives alone in Sarasota, Florida. His father had just died four months ago. He started recording the call.
Jalwan: “Can you put my mom on the phone? (woman screaming)”
Caller: “Stop, let my (expletive) hand go!”
Jalwan: “Put my mom on the phone.”
Caller: “Man, guess what? I’m going to start beating your mom, I’m going to start beating her right now.”
Jalwan: “Do not beat her. I just want to know if she’s OK.”
“I just had a vision of my mom being driven around Sarasota in a car with a gun to her head,” said Jalwan.
The man on the phone demanded that Jalwan send him money through a phone app.
Jalwan: “I can help you in any way you need, what can I help you do?”
Caller: “You got Cashapp or PayPal?”
Jalwan had trouble remembering his passwords, yet he could still hear the woman, he believed to be his mother, screaming in the background.
The man on the phone got impatient.
Caller: “Don’t test me, bro.
Jalwan: “I’m not testing you, I just want to know that my mom’s OK.”
Caller: “Man, she going to be all right. She going to be all right, but she ain’t going to be all right if you (expletive) around and you don’t (expletive) help me, bro.”
The man threatened to pistol whip Jalwan’s mom.
Caller: “If I see the police, I’m going to kill myself too, but I’m going to take her (expletive) out.
Jalwan: “Please don’t do that, my mom’s been through a lot. I’m going to help you out.”
“I had handed my wife my daughter’s iPad and I said ‘Go FaceTime my brother in the other room.’ He lives near my mom, I said ‘Tell him what’s going on,” he said.
Caller: “Bro, I’m going to tell you one more time. She ain’t going to be all right if you don’t hurry the (expletive) up.”
Jalwan: “I reset the password.”
“My brother calls my mom and my mom is at home safe and sound,” Jalwan found out from his wife.
Just before Jalwan got ready to send money, he realized it’s a scam and got more aggressive with the guy, who then hung up.
“Put my mom on the phone right now before I send you any money,” he said.
Jalwan called the Summit County Sheriff’s Office, but because his mom was safe and he did not send any money, they say no crime was committed.
He did call his wireless provider and filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission.
According to the FBI, scammers try to keep the victim on the phone for a long time so they cannot contact their loved ones or law enforcement.

MADISON, Wis. (WFRV) – Less than one year after a 1,200-year-old canoe was recovered from Lake Mendota in Wisconsin, another dugout canoe was retrieved from the same area, only this time the artifact was much older.
Maritime archaeologists with the Wisconsin Historical Society, alongside partners from Wisconsin’s Native Nations, recovered a 3,000-year-old dugout canoe from Lake Mendota in Madison on Thursday.
The canoe was initially discovered by Wisconsin Historical Society maritime archaeologist Tamara Thomsen during a recreational dive in May of this year, and was found within 100 yards of where the first canoe was located.
Discussions about recovering it from the lakebed began immediately following Thomsen’s discovery.
The recovery of this canoe built by our ancestors gives further physical proof that Native people have occupied Teejop (Four Lakes) for millennia, that our ancestral lands are here and we had a developed society of transportation, trade, and commerce. Every person that harvested and constructed this caašgegu (white oak) into a canoe put a piece of themselves into it. By preserving this canoe, we are honoring those that came before us. We appreciate our partnership with the Wisconsin Historical Society, working together to preserve part of not only our ancestors’ history but our state’s history.
Ho-Chunk President Marlon WhiteEagle
The 3,000-year-old dugout canoe is carved from a single piece of white oak and measures approximately 14.5 feet in length. Radiocarbon dating performed on the latest canoe places it to 1000 B.C., making it the oldest ever discovered in the Great Lakes region by roughly 1,000 years.
Although it is likely that water transportation dates back to the arrival of Native peoples in this region, this discovery provides the earliest direct evidence.
The excavation and recovery efforts were conducted by Wisconsin Historical Society archaeologists and skilled volunteers. The canoe was hand-excavated in preparation for today’s recovery mission and then securely transported to the State Archive Preservation Facility in Madison for preservation and storage.
The 3,000-year-old canoe will be cleaned and cared for by Tribal members and Society staff before being hand-lowered into a large preservation vat that also contains the 1,200-year-old canoe discovered in 2021.
Together the canoes will undergo a two-year preservation process that will conclude with freeze-drying to remove any remaining water.
“I was amazed when a 1,200-year-old canoe was uncovered last year, but this discovery of a canoe dating back to 1000 B.C. is just extraordinary,” said Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers. “This incredible finding provides an opportunity for us to work in concert with Tribal Nations to not only study but celebrate the history of the Indigenous people who’ve called this land home since long before Wisconsin became a state, and I look forward to learning more about this artifact’s origins.”

SAN FRANCISCO (KXAN) — Actor Matthew McConaughey is again hinting at a future political career. The Oscar-winner talked about his presidential aspirations at a conference in San Francisco earlier this week, SFGATE reported.
McConaughey was a featured speaker at Dreamforce, an annual tech conference by Salesforce. SFGATE wrote that the actor spoke to Salesforce co-CEO Marc Benioff while there, and though McConaughey didn’t make any specifications on the possibility of running for president, he did say he’d consider it in the future and he’d “be arrogant not to.”
This isn’t the first time he’s teased at a political career. Previously, however, it’s been on a smaller scale. McConaughey considered running for governor of Texas, but ultimately announced in November 2021 that he wouldn’t take the path of politics “at the moment.”
He hasn’t been shy to make political commentary either.
Over the summer, he visited Washington, D.C. to talk with lawmakers about gun legislation following the Robb Elementary School shooting that killed 19 children in his hometown of Uvalde, Texas.
He also spoke with Kara Swisher in a 40-minute-long interview on “Sway”, a New York Times Opinion podcast, about Texas’ political landscape and his thoughts on pursuing a career in politics.
McConaughey said at Dreamscape that if presidential candidacy is in his future, it would be because “it chose him,” according to SFGATE.
“If that happened to me I would be pulled into it. If I’m living right, which I’m trying to, we get pulled into things… it’s inevitable. I didn’t choose it, it chose me,” McConaughey said according to SFGATE.

(NEXSTAR) — Actor Louise Fletcher, best known for her role as Nurse Ratched in the 1975 Milos Forman film “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” died Friday of natural causes, her representatives told several outlets.
Fletcher’s son Andrew Bick confirmed to the Hollywood Reporter that the 88 year-old died in her Montdurausse, France, home. Fletcher, who won an Academy Award for her “Cuckoo’s Nest” role, previously battled breast cancer, THR reports.
The decorated actor, an Alabama native, had a career spanning back to the 1950s. In addition to film, Fletcher’s TV work included roles on “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” “The Twilight Zone” and “Shameless.”
Her portrayal of the sadistic Ratched, opposite Jack Nicholson, continued to be her most acclaimed until her death. The film, based on Ken Kesey’s 1962 novel, won all five major Academy Awards after its release — including an Oscar for Nicholson and the Best Picture trophy.
In 2020, “Ratched,” a prequel series by “American Horror Story” maestro Ryan Murphy premiered on Netflix. Starring Sarah Paulson in the title role, the limited series attempted to show Ratched in a more complex — and even empathetic — light.
In an interview with Huffington Post writer Matt Jacobs in 2020, Fletcher discussed stepping away from acting in her later years, saying she didn’t know if she’d ever work again because of the physical stamina it requires. She said, however, she’d return for “the right thing.”
Fletcher was born July, 22, 1934 and was married to Jerry Bick from 1960 to 1977. She is survived by two children.

(NewsNation) — Law enforcement agencies are responding to reports of shootings at schools across the nation that turn out to be completely false.
It’s a practice the FBI calls “swatting,” which the agency defines as faking an emergency that draws a response from law enforcement — usually a SWAT team.
Even though these threats turn out to be a complete fabrication, students, staff and parents still feel the same fear when they see an enormous police response on campus. And law enforcement says if they get these kinds of calls, they don’t hold back on their response.
In just the last few weeks, threats forced lockdowns at dozens of schools in multiple states, including several schools in Texas, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Missouri and Virginia, according to EdWeek.
Images out of Thomas Jefferson High School in San Antonio show parents rushing to embrace their students. Police later established that no shooting had happened — instead, some students had an altercation, but denied having or displaying a weapon. Frightened students, though, had already made calls to their parents, who converged on the school, where there were 29 school district officers and 58 city police officers.
One man even shoved his fist through a window to enter the building, lacerating his arm in the process, the Associated Press reported.
“Until law enforcement clears the location or satisfies it as a prank, they are going to go as if it’s real,” Former FBI Special Agent Stuart Kaplan said. “That’s a very dangerous scenario for law enforcement, as well as the person on the other side of that.”
Experts say some of the threats are discovered on social media or smartphone apps that can be tough to trace, and it’s often juveniles behind the false reports.
“Every single time that phone rings and that is a possible active shooter, we have to accept that as the real deal and go,” Kaplan said.
On Twitter last week, the FBI in Houston wrote that making threats of violence against a school has consequences — whether they’re joking or not. If a suspect behind a false threat is a juvenile, they can face suspension, expulsion or even criminal prosecution. Adults can face serious legal penalties for swatting, including possible incarceration and fines.
Amy Klinger, director of programs for The Educators’ School Safety Network, said it’s important to reinforce to people that swatting is not a funny joke or prank.
“It’s a really serious situation that jeopardizes a lot of people, and puts a lot of people at risk, as well as inflicting trauma and anxiety on the parts of all the individuals involved,” she said. “So it is not something that needs to be taken lightly by anyone.”
“You’re creating this high level of anxiety, you’re eroding the trust in the organization,” Klinger went on. “Can they really keep me safe? Is this really a dangerous place? And it even exacerbates and creates more threats.”
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

(WLNS) — This deer is ready for the NBA!
The Michigan State Police Fifth District account recently tweeted some dashcam video of an athletic deer casually jumping over a car on the road.
The deer was one of several crossing the road at the time, and luckily disaster was averted on multiple fronts. MSP used the video as an opportunity to remind people to watch out for deer this fall.
“Reminder: If deer cross your path – apply controlled braking; steer straight; don’t swerve,” MSP Fifth District said.
Avoiding deer-car crashes
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department says there are few things to do if it looks like you’re about to hit a deer.
The department says you should brake firmly but stay in your lane. Do not swerve to avoid the animal, since this could create more danger for you and other vehicles.
Be aware of when you’re most likely to encounter deer on roadways: TPWD says the highest-risk periods are from sunset to midnight and in the hours before sunrise. Drivers should remember that deer rarely travel solo — if you see one, there are likely more nearby.
As previously mentioned, fall is also a very active time for deer.
The Conversation reports the highest-risk time of autumn is once daylight saving time ends, which varies each year. This year, daylight saving time is scheduled to end Sunday, Nov. 6. It’s during this time that there are more drivers on the road in the dark, increasing odds of collisions.
It’s also important, Consumer Reports recommends, to use slower speeds overall during high-risk time periods. Additionally, it goes without saying that drivers should always wear their seatbelts.
There are over 1 million deer-vehicle crashes each year in the U.S., says the Conversation. That’s about 200 human deaths and 29,000 serious injuries.
What should you do if you see an injured deer on the road?
It depends on the deer’s condition on what you should do.
Texas Parks and Wildlife explains you should call your local game warden if the deer has only been hit or injured.
If you’re sure the deer is dead, TPWD says you can (as safely as possible) move the deer out of the roadway and alert your local department of transportation. It’s advised, however, that you avoid touching deer as much as possible.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — It was a busy day Friday for House Republicans as they held an event to showcase their plans for the future.
“We’ve created a commitment to America,” said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
At a manufacturing facility in Monongahela, Pennsylvania, McCarthy unveiled what Republicans call their “Commitment to America”.
“The Democrats created a lot of problems and no plan to fix it. We have a plan, so let’s debate the plan.”
Mccarthy says if his party takes back the house, they have a plan to fix inflation, lower crime, improve supply chains, and make America energy independent.
They also promise to give parents more power in schools.
“[We need] to ensure that our economy is strong, a nation that’s safe, a future that’s built on freedom, and a government that’s accountable.”
New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik says Republicans will make the country stronger.
“This is our commitment to you, and these ideas on this commitment came from the American people.”
However, Democrats quickly criticized the plan and say Republicans have done nothing to fix the problems voters care about.
“This is a party of chaos and corruption,” says Rhode Island Congressman David Cicilline
Cicilline says Democrats are already bringing back manufacturing jobs and are rebuilding the country’s infrastructure.
“Virtually every step of the way, our Republican colleagues oppose those efforts. So it’s kind of funny to me that fifty days out from the election, they’ve suddenly decided they’re for helping working people, and they’re for lowering costs, and they’re for making communities safer.”
Neither party will know what’s next until after November’s election.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Campaign season is in full swing and with midterm elections just over six weeks away, Republicans held an event in rural Pennsylvania to unveil their platform which includes priorities like fighting inflation.
House Republican leadership is trying to woo voters and win control of Congress in November by laying out what they call their “commitment to America.”
“If you would trust us and give the us the ability to take a new direction for this country,” Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said. “On our very first bill, we’re going to repeal 87,000 IRS agents.”
“If there’s 87,000 people needed in America it’s at the border, to support America’s border” Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) said at the event.
In addition to rolling back President Biden’s policies, GOP leaders are promising to make the country safer.
“House Republicans, will immediately ensure that we hire 200,000 more police officers across this country ,” Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said.
Meanwhile, President Biden has argued “you can’t be pro-law enforcement and be pro-insurrection. You can’t claim to be a party of law and order and call the people who attacked the police on January 6th ‘patriots.’”
President Biden says Americans shouldn’t believe Republicans are looking out for them.
“We didn’t hear mention the right to choose. We didn’t hear him, mention Medicare. We didn’t hear mentioned Social Security,” Biden said.
Biden says it’s Democrats who will continue to lead the country forward and already passed a bipartisan infrastructure package and made historic investments in fighting climate change. He also warns Republicans will take the country in a dangerous direction.
“Either they win or they were cheated. That’s not democracy,” Biden said.
The president has been making appearances at Democratic National Committee events and pushing to get voters to support Democrats who he says represent unity.

SHREVEPORT, La (KMSS/KTAL) – Every week during the 2022 season, the KTAL Sports Team will release weekly power rankings for each state in our coverage area. Here’s the KTAL Sports power rankings for our Texas teams after week four, heading into week five. Each week the rankings are presented by Signature Care Texarkana
10. Joaquin
Last week: Bye. Previously unranked.
Joaquin dropped a close game to Beckville in week two. Other than that, the Rams have been rolling on offense, averaging 48 points per game. This week, it’s a matchup with 3-1 Shelbyville for the Rams.
9. Center
Last week: Defeated Daingerfield, 65-44. Previously unranked.
Welcome back into the fold, Center. After falling to North Desoto in week three, the Roughriders ran roughshod over Daingerfield to the tune of 65 points in week four. Kaden Dixon went off, scoring 6 (6!!!) rushing touchdowns to go along with 354 yards rushing. Dixon will look to be big again for Center in their week five district opener against Canton.
8. Liberty-Eylau
Last week: Defeated Atlanta, 16-14. Ranked 9th.
It was a hard-fought win for the Leopards on Friday night against Atlanta. The Rabbits missed a last-second field goal and Liberty-Eylau emerged victorious. The Leopards are now 4-0 for the first time in over a decade. That undefeated mark will be put on the line this week, as Liberty-Eylau travels to Sulphur Springs to take on the 3-1 Wildcats.
7. Beckville
Last week: Defeated Elysian Fields, 51-19. Ranked 8th.
Beckville’s offensive firepower speaks for itself. The Bearcats have scored 197 points in four games this fall. Against Elysian Fields, everyone got involved. Calan Castles only attempted 8 passes, but three of them went for touchdowns. One of the area’s top prospects, J’Kolby Williams, rushed for 150 yards and a score to go along with a 10 yard touchdown reception. This week, Beckville’s offense will get another favorable matchup with a Big Sandy Team allowing 36.5 points per game.
6. Pleasant Grove
Last week: Defeated Frisco Memorial, 63-28. Ranked 6th.
Everything was clicking for the Pleasant Grove last week. The Hawks broke the 60 point mark for the first time since their last state championship team did it in 2019. Ahkari Johnson scored four total touchdowns, Jaylen Boardley racked up 146 total yards and the Hawks steam-rolled Frisco Memorial. This week, it’s a matchup with Parish to wrap up Pleasant Grove’s pre-district schedule.
5. Texas High
Last week: Defeated Texas High, 27-3. Ranked 5th.
The first four weeks of the season for Texas High proved plenty for the Tigers. The Tigers maneuvered a tough pre-district schedule, going 3-1. And while the Tigers’ offense has been potent since week one, last week, the defense came to life, holding Tyler Legacy to just a field goal in a 27-3 win. This week, district play starts for the Tigers, who welcome 3-1 Hallsville to Texarkana.
4. Timpson
Last week: Defeated Waskom, 40-14. Ranked 4th.
What’s good: Timpson has scored 199 points through their first four games. Terry Bussey looks completely unstoppable for the Bears. What’s even better: Grapeland will travel to Timpson for week five. The Sandies are giving up an average of 36.5 points per game.
3. Gilmer
Last week: Defeated Lindale, 31-23. Ranked 2nd.
Gilmer has been sitting pretty comfortably in our second position for most of the season. That changes this week because, while the Buckeyes pulled out a win, we may have seen a few cracks in their armor. Will Henderson rushed for 170 yards and two touchdowns in the win. The Buckeyes will now take the next two weeks off as the prepare to open district play on October 7 at Pleasant Grove.
2. Longview
Last week: Defeated Lufkin, 56-7. Ranked 3rd.
It’s been a big week for Longview. Lobo’s receiver Jalen Hale made his commitment to Alabama earlier in the week. He’s been critical to the Lobo’s offensive success so far this season. No one has truly tested the Lobos through the first four games. District play begins for Longview, hosting a 3-1 upset-minded Lancaster squad.
1. Carthage
Last week: Defeated Marshall, 45-7. Ranked 1st.
Connor Cuff didn’t even need four quarters to throw for 186 yards and three touchdowns against Marshall. The Bulldogs have been rolling and haven’t allowed a touchdown in two weeks. To kick off district play, Carthage welcomes 1-3 Bullard.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The tropical system that is expected to move into the Gulf of Mexico next week and approach Florida as a major hurricane became Tropical Storm Ian on Friday and is expected to become a tropical storm soon.
Tropical Storm Ian formed over the Caribbean Sea Friday evening. According to the 11 p.m. ET outlook from the National Hurricane Center, the system is about 385 miles southeast of Kingston, Jamaica with maximum sustained winds of about 40 mph.
According to the National Hurricane Center, strengthening is forecast during the next few days, and Ian is
expected to become a hurricane Sunday night.
A hurricane watch was issued Friday evening for the Cayman Islands including Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. A tropical storm watch was issued in Jamaica.
The NHC says people in Cuba, the Florida Keys and the Florida peninsula should keep a close eye on the system as it nears the Gulf.
Latest track
The current forecast track shows the system moving west-northwest, moving over the central Caribbean Sea through Saturday, passing south of Jamaica Saturday night and Sunday, then approaching the Cayman Islands on Sunday night or early Monday. Slow strengthening is expected in the next few days, followed by more “significant intensification” Sunday and Monday.
Environmental conditions also appear favorable for the system once it reaches the Gulf of Mexico.
“The National Hurricane Center calls for a Category 3 hurricane – a major hurricane – approaching the west coast of Florida early to mid-next week,” Holly said. “Forecast models have come in better agreement now that we have a closed center of circulation.”
However, Holly says some shifts to the track are expected over the next several days as we monitor the storm and get a more clear picture of the system.
Impacts
Tropical Storm Ian is expected to bring heavy rain and gusty winds to the Windward Islands, northern Venezuela and Colombia, Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao. Those areas could see up to 1 to 2 inches of rain while southern Haiti and the Dominican Republic, recently battered by Hurricane Fiona, could get 2 to 4 inches of rain with a maximum of 6 inches.
However, even heavier rains are expected for Jamaica, Cuba and the Cayman Islands. Jamaica and Cuba could particularly see mudslides and flash flooding in areas of high terrain.
The NHC says once it’s in the Gulf and approaches land at or near major hurricane strength, there is a potential for significant storm surge, wind and rainfall impacts.
“While it is too soon to determine the exact magnitude and location of these impacts, residents in Cuba, the Florida Keys and the Florida Peninsula should ensure they have their hurricane plan in place and closely monitor forecast updates through the weekend.”
Elsewhere in the tropics
Tropical Depression 10 also formed Friday morning, and strengthened Friday evening to become Tropical Storm Hermine. It poses no threat.
Hurricane Fiona remains a powerful storm heading toward Canada.
Tropical Storm Gaston has strengthened and is moving toward the Central Azores.

Cannon McIntosh appeared to be the dominant car on the night, but it was rookie Mitchel Moles who took the checkered flag in winning the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget Series’ BeFour The Crowns 25-lap feature at Eldora Speedway, Friday.
The victory is the second for Moles, who currently leads the USAC Rookie of the Year standings. The CB Industries Toyota driver previously won at Jefferson County Speedway in July.
The night began with McIntosh moving to the lead from his starting spot on the outside of the front row. Behind him, Moles would quickly climb up from his sixth starting position and battle Bryant Wiedeman for second with Moles prevailing.
By lap 10, McIntosh had stretched out a 2.254 second lead over Moles, with Wiedeman in third and series point leader Buddy Kofoid climbing up to fourth.
McIntosh led through the midway point and appeared to be on the way to his 13th national midget feature win of the season when his race quickly came to an end after catching the turn one wall with his right rear and flipping over. He was able to quickly climb from the car but was done for the night.
On the restart, Moles would assume the point position and settled in comfortably upfront, pulling out to a 2.396-second lead before a caution would wave with just three laps remaining.
Moles quickly pulled away after taking the green flag, while Keith Kunz Motorsports teammates Wiedeman and Kofoid were in a fierce battle for second with Kofoid throwing a slider to take the position on lap 23. Wiedeman wasn’t done yet, though, as he would slide Kofoid back on the final lap for second, 1.107 seconds behind Moles. Kofoid would finish third, with Chris Windom in fourth and Alex Bright placing fifth. Moles’ victory came in his first-ever run at Eldora.
The USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget Series is back in action at Eldora Speedway Saturday night for the 40th running of the Four Crown Nationals, which will pay $10,000 to win.
Quotes:
Mitchell Moles, CB Industries Toyota: “(On not having previously raced at the track) I had never seen any prior conditions, never saw it any other way. I just race the track with the dirt that’s there and try to make speed however you can. CB Industries gave me a great car tonight. I can’t thank them enough, along with Toyota, Pristine Auction, NOS Energy Drink, KC Drywall, and everyone who’s on board with this team. I really needed this one to get us going again. We got one done.”

High School Football: Mason, Carlson, Dundee keep rolling; Ida gets first win
ERIE − Erie Mason coach Steve Bowers warned anyone who would listen that Friday's game against Sand Creek would be anything but easy.
The Aggies' 1-3 record coming into the game masked a much better team.
"I knew they were better than their record showed," Bowers said. "They've played some tough teams. ... They weren't scoring a lot of points, but they also weren't giving up a lot of points. I knew they would be tough. Sand Creek always has a tough team. They always have skillful kids and they have really good size across their line."
Fortunately, Bowers' players heeded his warnings.
Mason avoided a potential trap game with a 20-14 victory against Sand Creek. The win improved to the Eagles, ranked No. 11 in Division 7, to 5-0 overall.
"Sand Creek had a good game plan," Bowers said. "The whole game they did their best to put pressure on us in the passing game. They had a lot of success and it threw us off. They gave us some good defensive looks we haven't seen much of throughout the season so far."
Mason quarterback Vaughn Brown fought through the pressure to complete 14 of 33 passes for 196 yards. He tossed TDs to Trent Herrera for 46 yards in the first quarter and 5 yards to Cole Kreger in the third.
Thomas Hutson blocked a punt in the second quarter and Toby Frazier recovered it in the end zone to give Mason a 12-0 lead at halftime.
Frazier, Louden Murbach, and Logan Goodin played well defensively. Mason had interceptions on Sand Creek's final two drives in the fourth quarter. Nose guard John Nolan had the first and Herrera sealed the win with the second pick with just 24 seconds remaining.

Gibraltar Carlson 51, Wyandotte Roosevelt 7
WYANDOTTE − Gibraltar Carlson had everything working Friday night as it improved to 5-0.
“We really were in command from start to finish,” Carlson coach Jason Gendron said. “We’re playing good ball right now in all three phases of the game."
The Marauders amassed 454 total yards of offense, including 356 on the ground. Eight different backs carried the ball with the team averaging 9.1 yards per carry.
Brandon Scheffler, Ben Przytula, and Izaiah Wright rushed for TDs in the opening quarter. Quarterback Eddie Light added a touchdown pass to Jackson Zachary to put the Marauders ahead 27-7 at halftime.
Wright, Scheffler, and Zachary added rushing scores in the second half and Kyler Ostrowski kicked a 37-yard field goal.
Gendron said the defense deserves its due too for the Marauders' strong start.
“The unsung hero right now is our defense," he said. "We haven’t given up too many points. We really are playing complimentary football.”

Dundee 9, Brooklyn Columbia Central 7
BROOKLYN − Brayden Ratliff kicked three field goals, including the game winner with 8 seconds on the clock in the fourth quarter.
Ratliff hit two in the second quarter. He was good from 34 yards out to put Dundee ahead 3-0. He then hit a 20-yarder as time expired in the first half just after Columbia Central had its lone score of the game.
The Golden Eagles led 7-6 at halftime and through the most of the rest of the game.
Dundee started its final drive around its own 40 after pressuring a short punt. With less than a minute to go and no timeouts on their side, the Vikings drove down the field and turned to Ratliff once more. He hit the winner from 38 yards.
It was the first three fields of the season for Ratliff.
"He's a great kid," Dundee coach Steve Ayre said. "He's always taken pride in it. He stays after and kicks, he goes to kicking camps. Last year, we won our first-round playoff game 6-0 because he kicked two field goals in the slop. We have confidence in him. There wasn't any second guessing. We knew what we had."
The Vikings defense picked up a shorthanded offense.
"We've been battling adversity all week," Ayre said. "We had a couple kids injured in the Onsted game and in practice. We never felt like we were at full strength this week. And we came out and it looked like we weren't sure what we were doing offensively for three drives or so."
Cooper Buhl, Evan Imo, Ethan Layton, and Jacob Fenbert played well defensively for the Vikings, who improved to 5-0 for the first time since 1992.
Second Quarter
D - Brayden Ratliff 34 field goal
D - Ratliff 20 field goal

Flat Rock 55, Milan 28
FLAT ROCK – Flat Rock (3-2) jumped out to a 28-7 lead Friday in their first win over the Big Reds in over a decade.
Milan pulled within a score late in the second quarter, but Flat Rock’s Graham Junge found Rocco Breslin on a 44-yard touchdown pass to give the Rams a two-score advantage heading into the break.
“They had things going, and we were kind of on our heels a little bit,” said Flat Rock Coach Buck Reaume. “That was a huge play in the game for sure. It gave us some momentum heading into the half.”
Junge completed 14-of-18 passes for 240 yards and 3 scores. Correy Lannon and Booms added one touchdown pass each for the Rams, with Booms also rushing for 107 yards and 2 scores on 15 touches.

New Boston Huron 48, Airport 6
CARLETON − New Boston Huron amassed nine sacks and seven turnovers to hand Airport its first loss of the season in dominating fashion.
The Jets turned over six fumbles and an interception. Huron's Josh Buettner had a strip sack returned for a touchdown at the end of the second quarter to give his team a 28-6 halftime lead.
Huron quarterback Gavin Moczydlowski had a hand in five of his team's seven touchdowns. He connected with Micah Smith on TD receptions of 48 and 19 yards, tossed a 32-yard touchdown pass to Rory Callahan, and rushed for a pair of scores in the second quarter.
Moczydlowski was 8-of-11 passing for 190 yards. Callahan had 5 catches for 105 yards for Huron (3-2).
"They (Huron) played about as good of a game that a football team can play," Airport coach Jim Duffy said. "I don't know that they made many mistakes at all and we made a lot. It kind of snowballed on us."
Airport's Cooper Nye was 13-for-25 passing for 130 yards. He threw a 13-yard TD pass to Brett Moore early in the second quarter.
Airport lost for the first time this season, falling to 4-1 overall.
"These ones don't feel good ever," Duffy said. "We were not competitive in this game. That was the most disappointing thing. It wasn't the fact that we lose, it wasn't even the score, it's just that we weren't competitive."

Grosse Ile 29, Jefferson 12
Jefferson (1-4) was outscored 15-0 in the second quarter after the Red Devils took advantage of a few defensive miscues by the Bears, who never recovered from their 22-6 halftime deficit.
“We had a kid bottled up and he busted out on a 50-yard run, we had him surrounded and he kept his feet moving,” said Jefferson coach Eric Tipton. “That was a big score for them, and then they had an onside kick and got the ball, and in one play they scored a touchdown. Those scores were big.
“Besides that, it was a dog fight the whole way through.”
Malachi Pribyl led the Bears with 138 yards on 24 rushes, doing most of his damage on a 65-yard scoring sprint in the first quarter. Myles Tackett threw for 151 yards and a touchdown on 11-of-21 passing, connecting with Seth Minney on a 9-yard score in the fourth quarter.

Whiteford responds to challenge from arch-rival Summerfield
OTTAWA LAKE – Whiteford knew it was going to get Summerfield’s best Friday night.
The Bobcats were ready for it.
“We love playing against them,” Whiteford junior Hunter DeBarr said. “It’s a huge win for us. We had the same mindset coming in this year as we did last year. We knew they would be tough, but we were ready for them.”
DeBarr rushed for 158 yards and 2 touchdowns, including a 37-yarder to open the scoring, to lead Whiteford to a 54-6 win.
DeBarr also had a big first quarter interception to lead the Bobcats to their fifth straight victory. His pick was the second of the quarter for Whiteford, which stopped two Bulldogs scoring threats at the goal line. The other was an interception by Ryin Ruddy in the end zone.
DeBarr said the Whiteford coaches had the team working on pass defense all week.
“Summerfield has some fast guys on the outside who can run good routes,” DeBarr said. “We drilled against that all week in practice. Our coaches emphasized playing great defense deep and covering their routes. We did a decent job of that all night.”
The Bobcat defense gave up 109 yards through the air Friday, 61 coming on the first offensive play of the game. Summerfield received the opening kickoff and on the first play, quarterback Bryce Kalb pitched it to Brandon Thompson, who heaved a spiral to Tyler Dafoe on a 61-yard pass play.
“We knew they were going to key on Thompson and fly up on him,” Summerfield coach Alex Lipka said. “It was a good play.”
The Bulldogs got into a first-and-goal situation on the drive. On second down, Kalb nearly completed a pass to Thompson in the end zone, but Whiteford defensive back Shea Ruddy broke up the play at the last second. On the next play, Kalb rolled out and thought he had Thompson in the middle of the end zone but Ryin Ruddy dove in front of the pass for the interception.
“The kid made a phenomenal play on that,” Lipka said.
Ruddy said as the play developed, he anticipated that Thompson would be the target. He just tried to be in the right place at the right time.
“I kind of figured the ball was going to go to him,” Ruddy said. “It was pretty far out there. I dove, but it wasn’t the most amazing catch ever. It was alright.”
The Bobcats took over the ball at their own 20-yard line and was in the end zone five plays later.
Jake Iott scored Whiteford’s second touchdown of the night to make it 16-0 but the Bulldogs responded with a 25-yard touchdown pass from Kalb to Thompson on a fourth-and-long. Whiteford came right back and drove 61 yards for a score, a two-yard run by Brandon Knaggs.
DeBarr’s second score made it 30-6 at halftime. Whiteford went on a 11-play, 65-yard drive to open the third quarter. Drew Knaggs, who carried the ball five times on the drive, crossed the goal line on a fourth-and-one.
Ryin Ruddy hauled in a 35-yard touchdown pass from his brother Shea, also on a fourth-down, in the third quarter and Luis Trejo scored on a 5-yard run in the fourth to complete the scoring.
“It was a great night out here,” DeBarr said. “All of those yards are all because of our offensive line. I just run the ball behind them.”
The Bobcat offense finished with 469 yards, 362 on the ground. In addition to DeBarr’s career high, Iott had 91 yards rushing. Ruddy threw for 107 yards on 8 completions.
“I was probably a little upset with our focus a little bit in the first half,” Whiteford coach Todd Thieken said. “There is stuff that we have to continue to get better at.
“Our kids stepped up every time we needed them to, offensively and defensively. I’m definitely pleased with that. I see us getting better in a lot of things, and there are things we still need to work on.”
Lipka said his 2-3 Bulldogs battled all game long.
Thompson led Summerfield with 61 yards passing, 44 yards rushing and 26 yards receiving.
“We started off good,” Lipka said. “We had a lot of opportunities. Even though we lost we took some steps forward. We should have had 20 points in the first half, then maybe that changes the dynamic of the second half.”

New Delhi: Certain PFI members based abroad have been found to be sending funds to their NRI accounts in India and subsequently transferring them to the leaders of the radical Islamic organisation so as to evade the foreign funding regulation law, the ED said Friday, a day after countrywide raids against the outfit.
The federal agency on Thursday arrested four members of the Popular Front of India (PFI) during the raids, led by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
The persons nabbed have been identified as Perwez Ahmed, Mohd Ilias and Abdul Muqeet (arrested from Delhi) and Shafeeque Payeth who was taken into custody by the ED from Kerala.
More than 100 PFI members were arrested during the multi-agency operation that also involved various state police forces and their anti-terrorist units.
The ED, which is probing PFI, its office-bearers and members since 2018, has also filed a fresh complaint taking cognisance of a National Investigation Agency (NIA) FIR filed in April against the PFI for allegedly committing terrorist acts in various parts of the country, promoting enmity among different groups and radicalising Muslim youths to join banned terrorist organisations like the ISIS.
The ED alleged funds collected by the PFI abroad "are remitted to India through hawala/underground channels and through remittances sent to the accounts of members/activists/office bearers of PFI/CFI and other related organisations."
The agency said the funds received from abroad are "concealed" from government agencies and compliance for collection of such funds and donations was not done by PFI as they are not a registered entity under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA).
It alleged Payeth, who was earlier based in Qatar, allegedly undertook the same modus operandi and transferred funds from abroad to his NRI account in India and later made funds transfer to PFI member Rauf Sherif (Rs 21 lakh) and Rs 16 lakh to a linked organisation called the Rehab India Foundation (RIF).
Payeth's premises in Kerala's Kannur district were raided by the ED in December last year and he was also questioned by the agency as part of summons issued to him earlier.
While PFI treasurer P Koya told the agency earlier that they have never received foreign funds and the organisation has no policy to get donations from abroad, the ED seized documents in 2020 that showed that the PFI has been "raising and collecting substantial funds from abroad in a well organised and structured manner."
The PFI, after Thursday's swoop of the agencies, had said the claims of the probe agencies against it were "baseless and sensationalist and were solely aimed at creating an atmosphere of terror."
The ED has been investigating the PFI's alleged "financial links" on charges of fuelling the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act protests, the Delhi riots of February, 2020, and the "conspiracy" in the alleged gangrape and death of a Dalit woman in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras and a few other instances.
It said the PFI and its related entities got more than Rs 120 crore funds, largely in cash, over the years.
The organisation was formed in 2006 in Kerala and is headquartered in Delhi. The ED has filed two chargesheets against PFI and its office bearers before a special PMLA court in Lucknow.
In February last year, the ED has filed its first chargesheet against the PFI and its student wing Campus Front of India (CFI) on money laundering charges claiming its members wanted to "incite communal riots and spread terror" in the aftermath of the alleged Hathras gang rape case of 2020.

New Delhi: The ‘UPI Lite’ facility which enables payment of amounts up to Rs 200 without typing the UPI pin has been launched.
Presently available only on BHIM app, UPI Lite service will soon be extended to platforms such as Google Pay, PhonePe and Paytm.
The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has also claimed that offline transactions would be possible with UPI Lite. However, the facility would be implemented only in future.
Banks covered
In the first phase, account holders of the following banks can utilize UPI Lite: State Bank of India, Union Bank of India, Canara Bank, Indian Bank, HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Punjab National Bank and Utkarsh Small Finance Bank.
What is UPI Lite?
It is a dedicated wallet created in the UPI app to carry out money transactions up to Rs 200.
The maximum amount which could be kept in the wallet at a time is Rs 2,000.
When a user enables UPI Lite, all payments under Rs 200 would be made from this wallet and keying in of UPI pin is not needed.
The speed of these transactions will be higher as they take place from the wallet in the phone.
Advantages
When small amounts are paid regularly through UPI, the bank passbooks would be filled up quickly and the statements would be longer.
As the UPI Lite transactions take place from the wallet, they will not be recorded in the bank statement and passbook.
Instead, only the transfer of money to the wallet would be mentioned. Moreover, a summary of the UPI Lite transactions would be sent as SMS every day.
How to use UPI Lite
Open the BHIM app and tap on ‘Enable now’ in the menu.
Tick on ‘I agree’ in the ‘Disclaimer’ that appears on the screen.
Transfer an amount less than Rs 2,000 from your bank account to the wallet.
This is done through the ‘Add Fund’ option on the UPI Lite top-up page.
After money is added to the wallet, payments less than Rs 200 would be made from there.
Benefits for expatriates
Meanwhile, the ‘Bharat BillPay Cross-border Bill Payment’ facility also has come into force.
It helps expatriates make payments such as electricity and phone bills in India from abroad.
The facility is initially provided jointly with UAE Lulu Exchange and Federal Bank.

WEST COVINA — The Charter Oak football team took advantage of an 85-yard punt return by Nathan Alvarado with 3:02 left in the third quarter to remain undefeated with a 34-21 win over a much improved West Covina team Friday night.
Trailing 21-14, the Bulldogs (2-4) were going to run the ball on a fourth down and 3 yards to go at their own 47-yard line, but a delay of game penalty forced them to punt.
Alvarado fielded the ball on the second bounce and got a huge block from Mekhi White that sprang him loose down the sideline in front of his own bench.
“That delay was my fault,” Bulldogs coach Mike Maggiore said. “But, they have a lot of good athletes and when they get the ball in space, they’re dangerous.”
The Bulldogs were able to run the ball, almost at will, in the first half while the Chargers (5-0), behind quarterback Richie Munoz, had their short passing game that the Bulldogs had trouble stopping.
“When we came up to the line they had a lot of our slots covered,” Munoz said. “So we just got the ball out in a hurry and they never adjusted.
Both teams scored on their first possessions.
The Bulldogs took a 7-0 lead on a 52-yard run by Zach Requena that capped a five play, 74-yard drive.Requena carried the ball 26 times for 216 yards and all three Bulldogs touchdowns.
The Chargers came right back with Munoz hitting Alvarado on a 36-yard scoring pass three plays later.
“Tonight was one of those classic, physical, Charter Oak – West Covina football games,” Chargers head coach Dominic Farrar said. “I’m really proud of our coaches for making adjustments at halftime and getting us in a better position to be successful.”
The Bulldogs looked like they would be ahead at the half but Munoz, who has committed to Weber State, hit Alvarado at the goal line for a touchdown with 1.2 seconds left in the half.
“Munoz was a good pickup for them,” Maggiore said. “He is very good at getting rid of the ball. They have a lot of good athletes and he can get the ball to them. They have a lot of good athletes and if they can get the ball to one of them on a short screen and make one guy miss, they’re gone.”
Munoz completed 16 of 25 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns. He also scrambled for 40 yards and the final score of the game on a 1-yard run.
Much of Munoz’s scrambling was caused by defensive pressure, led by Nate Maggiore (son of coach Mike) who had a sack and Eli Carpenter and Anthony Martinez who combined for another sack in the second half.
“I was proud of Nate tonight,” Maggiore said. “He got held a lot but he was really disruptive. I think this was our best game as a team this year. Our kids didn’t back down for a minute against a very good team tonight.”

SALEM, Ore. — Governor Kate Brown sent a letter to the Oregon State Legislature on September 23 requesting $2 million in funding for the City of Wallowa to recover from the hailstorm last August. The city is not eligible for federal disaster relief, despite the local emergency declaration and extensive damage.
“This community has been left reeling from this severe hailstorm, and I hope that we can come together to help address this emergency,” said Brown in the letter. “I have heard firsthand from residents within the community, met with the mayor of Wallowa, and talked with county leadership about the tremendous damage that was sustained during this severe storm.”
However, the Oregon Department of Emergency Management said the county could receive grant funding through the Oregon Local Disaster Assistance Loan and Grant Account, if there is funding through the state. The account, listed in ORS 401.536(2)(c), is meant to be a source of funding after localized events that don’t meet federal standards.
“As the storm traveled from the mountains toward the community, the west-facing side of nearly every home and care became damaged,” said Brown. “In the community today, almost every home and business that faces west has windows that are boarded up and siding and roofs that are left in disrepair. The City of Wallowa is a small, remote rural community with many low-income community members that live on fixed incomes, and many are either uninsured or underinsured.”

MOSES LAKE, Wash. — Not long after issuing a nationwide extradition warrant for Charles Bergman, 54, for the first-degree murder of his wife, Theresa, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office contacted the U.S. Marshals Service for help finding him. Through a collaborative effort, along with the Grant County Sheriff's Office, Bergman was tracked down in New Stanton, Pennsylvania on September 23.
U.S. Marshals took Bergman into custody without incident, according to LCSO. He will be extradited back to Washington.
“While our hearts are heavy and remain with the family, we are pleased he was taken into custody quickly and that nobody else was hurt in the process,” said LCSO on Facebook.

YAKIMA, Wash. -- A Yakima non-profit got almost 200,000 dollars to make an emergency overnight shelter for minors experiencing homelessness. This would be the first licensed one in the county, said Rod's House executive director, Mark James.
Rod's House will develop an 18-bed emergency overnight shelter in Yakima. Ten beds for young adults and eight for minors.
A 14-year-old pregnant girl needing resources is how Rod's House started 11 years ago, said James.
"The truth is if she were to come to us now, we still wouldn't have a place for her to sleep at night and this shelter is solving that problem," said James.
The Connecting Housing of Infrastructure grant will cover initial construction costs. James said he hopes the emergency overnight shelter will be open within the next year or two.
Until then, minors experiencing homelessness can still get food, clothes and toiletries from Rod's House on South Naches Avenue.
The number of homeless youth has quadrupled in the 11 years, according to Rod's House's website. It said since opening, Rod's House helped more than 1,700 get an education, find a job, get therapy or make helpful community connections.

YAKIMA, Wash. -- The Yakima Valley Trolley Association's electric locomotive turned 100 years old this month, one of the oldest in the country that still runs. The non-profit invites people to check it out for free or donate to ride from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
The electric locomotive was built and ran exclusively for Yakima. It carried goods across the Yakima Valley until freight operations stopped in 1985, said the Yakima Valley Trolley president, Ken Johnsen.
Over the years, one of its motors wore down and needs to be reconditioned, said Johnsen. He said it costs about 35,000 dollars, which is why the non-profit is raising money.
Johnsen has been a volunteer for about 50 years. He travels across the state every weekend to operate trolley rides and give museum tours.
"I feel like this is such a time capsule, so it's just important that it be preserved; it's just something that shouldn't be lost," said Johnsen.
The Yakima to Selah railroad is the last functional interurban one in the nation, said Johnsen. He said the association is working to become a National Historical Landmark.
Johnsen said the non-profit also has a 1911 electric locomotive inside the museum, but it doesn't run.

There are so many reasons as to why Kent is a great place to be. Whether you're here to visit or you live in the county, there's history all around us.
From the stunning national parks to the historic castles, heritage sites draw in huge crowds every year. But there are many dotted around the county which remain a mystery to a lot of people.
Just off the coast of Deal lies three former warships, all which were left on Goodwin Sands and were never to be seen again. There is also a vessel which blew up on departure from Chatham and several artefacts have since been identified.
READ MORE: Thousands of Kent patients left 'seriously disadvantaged' in contacting doctors
But it's not just things beneath our waters which are at risk, as mansion gardens spanning over the Kent and Sussex border are also said to be vulnerable.
Here are five heritage sites in Kent which are under risk according to English Heritage.
Restoration, Goodwin Sands
The wreck of a wooden warship is said to lie just off Goodwin Sands in Deal. The ship, named Restoration, was a third rate 70-gun warship built in 1678 as part of Samuel Pepys' reform of the English navy.
During the 'Great Storm' of 1703, Restoration was said to have foundered on Goodwin Sands, but now exposed timbers are weakened due to a biological attack.
It is said that the wreckage may be subject to detachment and dispersal by tide and wave surge during winter storms.
Northumberland, Goodwin Sands
Just like Restoration, there is another third rate 70-gun warship lying off the Kent coast.
Northumberland was the first third rate ship to be built under contract after it was realised the naval dockyards could not keep up with the demand.
The warship is also said to have foundered on Goodwin Sands during the 'Great Storm' of 1703.
It also has exposed timbers which have been weakened by a biological attack and may be subject to detachment and dispersal by tide and wave surge during winter storms.
Rooswijk, Goodwin Sands
Rooswijk was a ship built in Amsterdam in 1737 but was left stranded on Goodwin Sands in 1739 while en route from Texel to the East Indies.
As with other ships left at Goodwin Sands, Rooswijk's archaeological material is at risk due to mobile sediments causing periodic exposure.
In 2017 and 2018 a large scale excavation was undertaken in a joint project between Historic England and Dutch Cultural Heritage Agency as well as other stakeholders.
The London, Chatham
The London was a ship built in Chatham in 1654 during the Interregnum. It's known to have been involved in the First Dutch War and then later formed part of an English Squadron sent to the Netherlands to collect Charles II.
The ship blew up on departure from Chatham in 1665 and a series of artefacts have since been identified on the river bed and recovered.
An excavation project has been carried out between Historic England, Cotswold Archaeology, Southend Museums Service and the licensed dive team.
Bayham Abbey
The mansion gardens are partly located in both Kent and East Sussex. There are terraces and informal pleasure grounds set within a Humphry Repton Red Book park focused on the abbey ruins, now managed by English Heritage.
In the 1970s the estate was divided and there has been further fragmentation of the site since. The landscape fabric integrity supporting the composition of the parkland has been impacted by mixed arable conversion.
Recommendation for a joint parkland plan process was made in 2020.

Saving three penalties against Celtic, hijacking snow plough, forcing Aberdeen keeper to play outfield - the great tales from Ernie McGarr
Before meeting Ernie McGarr – our goalie against the Republic of Ireland 53 years ago – there’s a warm-up act. Possibly the favourite gag of this duo is also 53 years old, but who cares about that on a late summer’s morning at balmy Bayview, the estuary sparkling and the plastic pitch doing likewise?
McGarr, who attempted to stop the shots which used to bombard East Fife, is now the groundsman and Harry Waddell and Davie Cumming help him out. The former is known as the “third Waddell” around these parts and although he didn’t represent the Fifers like his brothers Bobby and Andy, he was a player too.
“Forfar Athletic,” Harry tells me. Very good, I say. “And also Juventus.” For a split-second I wonder if I’m interviewing the wrong person, that here at last is the missing link between Loon-town bridies and the Turin Shroud, when Davie says: “He means the Juventus in Australia.”
These three are part of a small army of OAPs who potter around the stadium, keeping it spic and span for the Methil community and the football team. Every now and again one of them will stop to listen as McGarr, sat in the stand with his tea, tells the story of his life, and possibly they’re hoping to hear something new. The yarn which most interests me comes from our man’s time at Aberdeen when, to paraphrase Benny Hill’s chart-topping novelty hit from the same era, his name was Ernie, and he drove the fastest snow-plough in the north. Myths of our football, when you dig a bit, have a habit of turning to slush. I hope this one won’t.
This era celebrated its participants by requesting that they squinted into bright, pre-season sunshine with wild hair flying and stylists absent so the resultant photos could be transferred onto collectable cards which these days turn up on Twitter and prompt much hilarity. Now 78 and no longer in possession of his flyaway strands, McGarr’s national duty was brief but he remains proud of having served.
The 1969 debut against the team he still calls Eire was a friendly as Scotland attempted to qualify for the Mexico World Cup. There were no international breaks back then either – today’s players are such indulged snowflakes in comparison – and all manager Bobby Brown could secure from the SFA as a warm-up for the qualifying group decider was a Sunday afternoon kick-off in Dublin, 24 hours after a full card of league games.
“Unfortunately I got a ‘Charlie horse’ playing for Aberdeen at St Johnstone on the Saturday – a dead leg,” explains McGarr, “but I hid it because I loved being around the Scotland guys at Largs and this was going to be my big chance.”
The team that September afternoon was: McGarr, John Greig, Tommy Gemmell, Billy Bremner, Ronnie McKinnon, Bobby Moncur, Willie Henderson, Pat Stanton, Colin Stein, Peter Cormack and John Hughes.
“The thing I remember about Dalymount Park was all the nuns sat round the pitch. They got in free, along with the priests. The physio had worked all night on my leg but not long into the game I made a save and couldn’t get back up. I was angry, hadn’t done myself any favours. Jim Herriot took over.”
Herriot retained his place for the decider – away to West Germany, the game of the notorious boot up Helmut Haller’s backside, administered by Gemmell. “I was upset not to play in that one. Bobby Brown was an ex-goalie but I didn’t really rate him as a manager. I’m pretty sure the likes of Bremner, Gemmell and [Bobby] Murdoch picked the team. These guys were mad for games of cards up the back of the team bus. It was a fiver a time, a lot of money in those days. Bobby would say to [trainer] Tom McNiven: ‘Go tell them to cut that out.’ Tom would go: ‘You tell them.’”
McGarr’s second appearance in the meaningless group game away to Austria would be his last, although he continued to sit on the Scotland bench. The actual caps didn’t come into his possession for another 40 years, when a daft rule about only Home International players of the period receiving them was retrospectively scrapped. They remain his most treasured possessions.
Goalkeeping was in the blood. His father, also Ernest, was Carlisle United’s custodian in the 1930s. The Glasgow-born McGarr started out as a centre-half, was two years behind Sir Alex Ferguson at Govan High School, played for the same Harmony Row youth club as Fergie – and only switched to goalie when the regular keeper was unavailable. “Being the tallest at 15, I was nominated. ‘What a terrible job,’ said Dad. But right away I was smitten.”
Eddie Turnbull signed him for Aberdeen in 1965. “A visionary,” says McGarr. “Stuff he did with us others would copy later. Tommy McMillan operating as an overlapping full-back was an idea he got from watching rugby. Bobby Clark and myself as the goalies were sent outfield in practice matches. ‘Play starts with you,’ he’d say, ‘so you have to understand everyone’s role.’
“Fantastic manager but an awfie man. Absolutely ruthless. Once we were on a terrible run, in danger of being relegated, lost at home to Clyde and the next match was away to Rangers. The local paper, the Press and Journal, laid into us, as they’d been doing all season, so it became known as the Depressing Journal. The reporter, Jimmy Forbes, used to travel on the team bus and when he tried to get on at [Glasgow’s] Central Station, Eddie, who was standing at the door, said: ‘For that rubbish you wrote the other day you can walk to Ibrox.’”
McGarr would be subject to bollockings, although not as many as Joe Harper. “The wee man, Derek ‘Cut-tie’ McKay and myself used to pal about together – we were known as the Three Degrees. And what a player Joe was. If you were to ask me as a goalie who was the best finisher in Scottish football from my era I’d say it was between Joe Harper, Joe McBride and Bertie Miller when he played for East Fife. One-on-one with keepers they were deadly. Funnily enough, coming from out wide they all did the same thing: near post, high into the net. That took some skill.”
Turnbull was the harbinger for the Dons’ glory years under McGarr’s old school pal Fergie and you wonder how the latter would have handled three quixotic wingers from the years before his revolution. McGarr has fond memories of them all.
“Charlie Cooke was a diamond. We became friends with Scotland and when we flew into Glasgow after that Eire game he insisted on driving me back to Aberdeen. There was a detour to St Monans so he could say hello to his mum and then he took me home. Actually, not quite. We stayed in a casino until chucking-out time at 3am.
“Then there was Zoltan Varga. How the heck did an Olympic gold medalist, who went on to become [Johan] Cruyff’s replacement at Ajax, end up at Pittodrie? He was a man of mystery. Never took part in a warm-up, just jogged up and down the pitch in front of the man stand. Being from Hungary, his English wasn’t great but he joined in our nonsense. After training, Tommy McMillan, Alex Smith and myself used to have a coffee together and work out our strategy for the day’s horseracing. I can still see Zoltan: ‘I have five of your pounds – you want?’”
Completing the triumvirate is Jimmy Smith: “In the mood he was a magician although I never wanted him trying his nutmegs anywhere near me. Before the [1967] Scottish Cup final the team stayed a week at the Atholl Palace Hotel in Pitlochry. I was rooming with Jimmy and Martin Buchan, way ahead of his time, who liked to play the guitar and was so polite. One night Jimmy burst into the room legless and pissed in the sink. This woke Martin who said: ‘Do you know, Jimmy, you’re very uncouth.’
“Then there was the time Jimmy, who’d disappeared right after a match, came back to Pittodrie on the Monday with a dose of scurvy. He told us later he’d been with some old doll but at the time didn’t say anything and the whole team ended up catching it. Towels and training kit had to be chucked in the incinerator and we had to strip off for the club doctor and these two nurses so they could cover us with this funny pink solution. When your body got hot it tingled something terrible.”
McGarr and Bobby Clark were involved in a fascinating rivalry for the No 1 shirt, the former deposing the latter after six goals had been conceded to Hibernian in the 1968-69 season, the one where Aberdeen teetered over the drop. “I never saw that coming. Bobby was Eddie’s favourite, having had him at Queen’s Park. And then a bizarre thing happened: we ran out of defenders, Davie Robb had to play centre-half for a bit - and then Bobby did. A goalie playing outfield, but Eddie had prepared him for it. And he was pretty good, you know, although that was a very tense season. No one spoke. Until Jimmy’s scurvy. That broke the silence, all right.”
After helping the Dons stay in the old First Division McGarr kept his place until the start of the following campaign’s run to Hampden and Scottish Cup glory. Though competition with Clark was always friendly he was gutted to miss the final. Everyone gets a medal now; not back then. “I reckoned my time at Aberdeen was over. Eddie signed Gerry Neef from Rangers. What a nutter he was. I’ve never seen anyone eat so much. I didn’t rate the guy; he seemed to think Aberdeen were beneath him. But that was me away.”
At Dunfermline Athletic McGarr fell in with another flair guy from the flanks – Alex Edwards. “He had a flat in the south of Spain and one summer, with a wife and kid each, we all squeezed into his VW Beetle. The round trip was 3,000 miles.” McGarr also played for Airdrie, Cowdenbeath and Berwick Rangers but he clocked up the most appearances in his four years at East Fife who were tenacious top-flighters for nearly all of that time.
None more so than when Jock Stein’s all-conquering Celtic came to the old Bayview not far from its replacement on a frozen February afternoon in 1973. “We were the only game in Scotland to survive the bad weather and do you know that ground’s secret? It was only discovered when new houses went up on the site – 14 feet of sand underneath the surface, which explained why our matches were hardly ever off.”
This one has gone into legend for McGarr’s triple penalty-save heroics. First up was Bobby Murdoch. “That one is sometimes not credited to me but I definitely touched it onto the bar.” Then came Harry Hood and finally Kenny Dalglish. “It was one of those days that goalies dream about. Not my greatest game – that would probably be a League Cup tie against Hibs at Easter Road [a no-scoring draw in ’69-’70 shortly before his Scotland debut] – but my concentration was terrific and the ball was scudding off my knee, my shoulder, everywhere. I’m not sure what my strengths as a keeper were. Murdoch once asked me: ‘How do you manage to hang in the air for so long?’ But I was always pretty good at penalties, and the three that day were good stops.”
A match report hailed McGarr as “the best reserve goalkeeper in the world” and quoted East Fife boss Pat Quinn telling reporters: “That was the kind of game to bring back the fans. But, gentlemen, it was also the kind of game which takes ten years off a manager’s life.” It finished 2-2, the Fifers denied a famous victory by a last-gasp Dixie Deans equaliser. “I was gutted about that but afterwards Jock Stein came into our dressing-room and congratulated me, saying I deserved to get back in the Scotland team. That made me quite emotional.”
This didn’t quite happen and McGarr wound down his career in the junior leagues, including at Oakley United alongside ex-Celt George Connelly, but there is one more tale I need to hear, his version of events when the Three Degrees hi-jacked that snow-plough.
It’s held up as a prime example of drunken footballer malarkey, McGarr, Harper and McKay emerging from a pub from an afternoon’s drinking following a postponement, spotting the vehicle and taking it for a spin along Aberdeen’s Union Street.
This was Harper’s recollection when I met him a few years back. Not quite true, according to McGarr: “When the game was called off Eddie told us we could have a few bevvies, only not in the city. ‘Go to Stonehaven,’ he said. We ignored that and I think we must have ended up in Peep Peeps, a favourite of the players where you were greeted at the door by a daft skeleton.
“It snowed all day and by the time we’d had our fill Joe’s car was completely covered. This jalopy – it wasn’t a proper snow-plough but it had a shovel and was used to tow buses when they got stuck – was sitting there with the engine running and no one around.
“It was an AEC, eight wheels, and I knew how to drive it because I’d been a time-served motor mechanic. Joe and Derek chucked sand on the road as we chugged along. We hitched up to Joe’s car and managed to haul it out. There was a definite purpose to what we did. Let’s just say I borrowed the vehicle. I did drive it quite a long way, but quite slowly because I was quite merry, and then put it back where I found it.”
There’s ironic applause from the volunteers as everyone gets back to work. McGarr starts up his tractor and says: “Oh dear, I hope I haven’t ruined that story for you.” Don’t worry, Ernie, you haven’t.

Live updates: Colorado State football hosts FCS power Sacramento State
The Colorado State football team finishes its 2022 nonconference schedule with a unique matchup.
The Rams (0-3) are hosting an FCS team in Sacramento State on Saturday, Sept. 24 (2 p.m. Mountain kickoff). But this is no FCS pushover.
Sac State is ranked No. 6 in the coaches poll and boasts an explosive offense. The Hornets (2-0) are averaging 46.5 points per game in their first two contests and are racking up 500 yards per game.
Coloradoan reporter Kevin Lytle will have updates through the day as CSU hosts its annual Ag Day and orange out.
Lineup shuffling
Three CSU receivers — Melquan Stovall, Dante Wright and E.J. Scott — have left the program since the season began. That means shuffling of the rotation.
Tory Horton is still CSU's No. 1 receiver, but freshman Justus Ross-Simmons is expected to start at the "X" position and Ty McCullouch will start in the slot. Freshman Louis Brown will be the fourth receiver. Freshman Mekhi Fox could be in the rotation as well.

Poudre football blasts Monarch in homecoming game for Impalas' fourth straight win
Jones Thomas made his final homecoming game at Poudre High School one to remember Friday night, scoring three touchdowns before halftime to lead the Impalas to a 40-0 win over Monarch at French Field.
As a receiver, Thomas caught touchdown passes of 1 and 45 yards from quarterback Quentin Harms.
And from his safety position on defense, he intercepted a pass and returned it 80 yards for the first of two pick-sixes for the Impalas (4-1).
Luke Olson had the other pick-six for Poudre, intercepting a pass midway through the second quarter and returning it 45 yards for a touchdown.
“I think it’s the first homecoming game Poudre’s won in a while," said Thomas, a senior. "It’s cool to be a part of that.”
Here are some takeaways from one of Poudre’s most-lopsided victories in recent memory:
Poudre’s four wins already top past three seasons
Poudre dropped its season opener 40-8 at Rock Canyon but hasn’t lost since, rolling to wins over Castle View, Prairie View, Brighton and now Monarch.
With four wins, the Impalas have already assured themselves of their best season since at least 2018, regardless of how they fare in league play, which begins next week against crosstown rival Rocky Mountain in the first game of a doubleheader Friday at Colorado State’s Canvas Stadium.
“We’ve got a good group of guys,” Thomas said. “We’ve got a lot of talent on offense and defense. I think we’ll continue to win. I think we’re playoff contenders, for sure, once we start putting things together.”
Running backs share the work
Senior running backs Jordan Niesent and Saje Camirand continued to carry a heavy load on offense, running for about 100 yards and one touchdown apiece while splitting carries. Official statistics were not immediately available.
Camirand’s 3-yard touchdown run in the third quarter gave the Impalas a 33-0 lead, and Niesent’s 10-yard run into the end zone with 6:40 left made it 40-0, invoking Colorado’s mercy rule of a running clock for the rest of the game whenever one team takes a lead of 40 points or more.
“We’re trying to get back to establish the mentality of running the football,” Tonkin said. “I think that gives us the best chance to win. Just the mentality of being able to run the football; that’s what we’re trying to create and build.
“Those are two great backs that we have back there that are able to find the holes and taking advantage of what the offensive line gives them.”
Poudre defense pitches a shutout
Poudre’s defense didn't just provide points with two pick-sixes. The Impalas were stout throughout the game, stuffing Monarch’s running backs at the line of scrimmage before they could ever get their feet under them and pressuring quarterback Asher Ewing every time he tried to throw.
Poudre’s defensive front, led by Colton Mills Younger, Jeremiah Sullivan and Cassius Garcia, sacked Asher a half-dozen or so times and rarely gave him time to look for an open receiver.
“They did a great job of getting off the ball; that’s something we’ve really stressed the last couple weeks,” Tonkin said. “Get off the ball and playing vertical and really using their hands well. They did a really good job.”
Not that there were many to find, given the tight pass coverage of the secondary, the strength of Poudre’s defense, Tonkin said.
“We have four guys out there that can all cover, they can all run,” Tonkin said. “We know they have a lot of ability; that’s a strength. So, I kind of like it when teams try to throw on us.”
Everyone gets in on the act
Poudre led 27-0 at halftime and 33-0 by the middle of the third quarter, allowing Tonkin to substitute freely for the remainder of the game. Thomas, Harms and a handful of other starters spent much of the second half, watching from the sidelines while their backups finished off the Coyotes (2-3).
"It makes the game fun when everyone’s scoring, everyone’s getting the ball, the backups are in and ,everyone's having a good time," Harms said. "We’ve been talking about it the past couple weeks, just like Poudre in the past doesn’t describe who we are. We're a lot better team this year, and we can be way better than we already are. We're just scratching the surface."
Fossil Ridge, Rocky Mountain pick up road wins
Fossil Ridge and Rocky Mountain both picked up big wins on the road Friday night.
Fossil Ridge, playing its second straight game with former running back Colton Pawlak at quarterback in place of the injured Tyler Kubat, rolled to a 50-14 win over Arvada West at North Area Athletic Complex.
It was the second consecutive lopsided road win for the SaberCats (4-1), who beat host Windsor 33-0 a week earlier.
One of Fossil Ridge’s touchdowns came from Tanner Isom on a pick-six.
Rocky Mountain spoiled Horizon’s homecoming with a 31-7 win over the Hawks to improve to 3-2 heading into the start of league play next week against Poudre at Canvas Stadium.
Fort Collins, Windsor take lopsided losses
Columbine, ranked No. 2 in Class 5A, raced out to a 28-0 halftime lead and blasted Fort Collins 48-7 at PSD Stadium in Timnath.
The loss was the fourth straight for Fort Collins (1-4), which hasn’t won since its season opener at Denver East.
Windsor also fell in decisive fashion with a 42-14 road loss at Erie. The Wizards are now 2-3 entering league play.
