Jude High School owes more than $230,000 in unpaid contributions to an employee pension plan according to plan trustees who are suing the school to force payment The lawsuit filed in Erie County State Supreme Court accuses the high school of failing to pay required contributions to the defined benefit plan for the past 19 months said the school was only recently made aware of the lawsuit “We will not comment on pending legal matters at this time other than to state that we will defend Bishop Timon-St employees and administration and we will safeguard its mission and interests financial or other,” he said in an email statement to The Buffalo News Timon has been “largely unresponsive” despite numerous requests from trustees and officials with the Buffalo Diocese for the high school to resolve its defaults and outstanding obligations owed under the plan Bishop Timon-St.Jude High is among five area Catholic schools still in existence that were run directly by the diocese until the early 1990s The high school was supposed to be contributing $11,634 per month under the current terms of the plan but it hasn’t made a payment since the summer of 2023 The plan requires all affiliates to make monthly contributions which are based upon actuarial assessments “Timon’s breaches of its obligations under the Plan threaten the financial health of the Plan and the benefits of Timon’s former and current employees who are Plan beneficiaries,” the lawsuit said New York Retirement Plan hired the Hodgson Russ law firm to try and recoup the arrears warned Ryan and high school principal James Newton in a letter in August that the pension trustees would begin legal action to collect payment The turnaround at the all-male high school has come after new board leadership capital investments in the building and a staff member dedicated to engaging with eighth-graders Ryan explained that the high school was in the process of changing lawyers and would be in touch as soon as new legal counsel was in place But the school didn’t provide a “substantive response” to Zawodzinski’s demand letter The pension plan was formed in 1960 to provide retirement benefits for employees of the Buffalo Diocese and its affiliates and employees stopped accruing benefits for additional years of service The diocese shifted instead to a 403(b) defined contribution plan The diocese offered lump-sum buyouts in 2017 which still covers more than 2,500 active employees The plan had assets of $139 million at the end of 2023 with accumulated benefit obligations of $157 million according to the diocese’s 2024 audited financial statements Diocese officials said in court papers that there was a procedure in place to fully fund the legacy pension plan by about 2030 Timon had a deficit in the plan of $887,259 in 2023 with assets of $1.6 million and accrued liabilities of $2.5 million Court papers did not indicate how many Timon employees and retirees were part of the plan The high school on McKinley Parkway in South Buffalo enrolled 278 students in 2023-24 according to New York State Department of Education data Timon was founded in 1946 and named after the first bishop of Buffalo It is among five area Catholic schools still in existence that were run directly by the diocese until the early 1990s when they became independent entities governed by boards of trustees Timon remained as an affiliate in the diocese’s retirement plan Timon and the other four former active diocesan high schools – St Notre Dame in Batavia and Archbishop Walsh in Olean − never took ownership of their properties after going independent and were leasing them from the diocese for a nominal fee Other Catholic high schools that have been independent from their beginnings own their buildings and are not part of the diocese’s pension plan Because the diocese is now in Chapter 11 bankruptcy it must monetize its assets to repay creditors It already has sold the former campus of Walsh High School It is unclear what will happen with the other high schools One possibility is that the schools stay where they are and take out loans against the appraised value of the properties with the loan proceeds used to pay into a $150 million settlement of child sex abuse claims against the diocese Members of Timon’s board of trustees said in 2023 they were looking to raise an endowment of as much as $5 million The diocese pension fund is not at risk as a result of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy The 2024 independent audit noted that if a participating employer stops contributing to the plan the unfunded obligations may transfer to the other employers in the plan’s group Subscribe to our Daily Headlines newsletter Email notifications are only sent once a day Get up-to-the-minute news sent straight to your device Account processing issue -

But that was the same year that Ronald Reagan passed away this is my first time I’m on daytime it’s a bigger audience … and unfortunately I have not seen the rest of that episode at all.” But it’s a full circle moment to be back on the network where he started his soap journey “There’s an amalgam of feelings,” Durrett reflects We are the seed that’s going to make the tree of Beyond the Gates grow and that’s probably the most special part of it because it doesn’t go any further back than us Durrett promises that Bill’s motivations will become clearer “I do enjoy the angst that Bill causes the fans,” Durrett muses ‘Does it bother you?’ I’m like I want them to feel like they don’t know how to feel about Bill.’ He’s an opportunist but he’s not necessarily a bad person Bill has a bad temperament because of some things that have happened but things have happened with Bill and the Duprees and he’s having a hard time reconciling and letting it go It’s not that he’s just this innate jerk.” Sign Up This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner as Timon and Pumbaa are the ultimate scene stealers in "Mufasa: The Lion King" and reveal how much they improvised.LOS ANGELES -- The "Lion King" scene stealers are back at it again Timon and Pumbaa captured everyone's hearts in the 1994 original movie and again in the 2019 live-action remake Now Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen who play Timon and Pumbaa are back on screen to make us laugh once more Eichner and Rogen definitely know how to capture an audience and tell a joke but how many of the jokes in "Mufasa: The Lion King" were actually apart of the script Billy Eichner tells our George Pennacchio "I think for this one especially Barry Jenkins really encouraged us to riff like crazy and improvise I think 90 percent of what we say was improvised." who usually stars in more raunchy comedies is ecstatic that he's in a movie that everyone in the family can see His family and friends have a different complaint though "I don't have children but I have a lot of friends now that have kids the 2019 Lion King is the first Lion King they saw They obviously didn't see the first one in the movie theater at least and so my friends complain about how much they heard me sing the lion sleeps tonight like on the soundtrack." You can see Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner as Timon and Pumbaa in "Mufasa: The Lion King" in theaters on December 20th The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of this ABC News Station Unlocking Timon and Pumbaa in Disney Dreamlight Valley is a bit confusing if you're new to the valley but if you've been playing for a while it will take significantly less work Before you start the task of welcoming Timon and Pumbaa to your valley you'll need to have the Lion King realm unlocked and both Simba and Nala already prowling about Unlocking the Lion King realm from the Dream Castle will set you back 10,000 Dreamlight But it's well worth it since you can invite four characters from this one doorway now that we've got Timon and Pumbaa you need to have level 10 friendship with Simba and complete all of his quests you should be able to activate a quest called "Finding Old Friends" which is the beginning of the mission to find Timon and Pumbaa There are three quests you need to complete for Timon and Pumbaa we've broken down what you need to do to make the process easier.  There are three quests you'll need to complete before you can unlock Timon and Pumbaa to invite them back to your valley most of these missions can be completed while you're in the Lion King realm so you won't need to constantly leave and come back.  To start the quest of inviting Timon and Pumbaa to your valley head to the Lion King realm in the Dream Castle They'll let you know you're too stressed out and need some lessons in Hakuna Matata before they can go to your valley.  You can find all the materials in the Lion King realm which takes away the stress from having to head back to the valley (Hakuna Matata indeed) You'll need to find the following materials to complete this part of the quest:  use the crafting station to create a lion mane using the 4 Red Jungle Leaves you collected earlier Equip this and speak to Timon and Pumbaa again They will tell you to fish out a crown from the river underneath the log bridge You can do this at the crafting bench using sand and coal you'll need to place the crown on the breakable rock near Rafiki's staff at the top of the jungle and smash it with your pickaxe.  you'll need to throw the empty vial into the water (after screaming your worries into it) and head back to camp Using your shovel on the 'beds' will allow you to sleep which you need to do to complete this quest and initiate the next After you've woken up from the previous quest Once again you'll be able to find all the items needed for this craft within the Lion King craft a hammock at the crafting station and go back to Pumbaa He suggests you try the hammock in three different spots around the jungle to make sure you've found the optimal napping spot These are marked out by beds of bright green leaves on the ground but if you're stuck on where to find them head to these locations:   (Image credit: Gameloft)(Image credit: Gameloft)(Image credit: Gameloft)Next to the riverNext to the camp Next to the oasisWhen you've tried all of these spots head back to Pumbaa and chill in your favourite napping spot he'll ask you to water three dried up mud spots with your Royal Watering Can in front of the camp so you can both play and Pumbaa will then ask you to catch three floating fireflies from the same spots listed above You'll need to use them to cook Roasted Jungle Fireflies go to sleep to end this part of the quest and move on to the final part The third and final quest starts with you talking to Timon He's very panicked after waking up and finding Pumbaa missing and you'll find Pumbaa's behind sticking out from inside a log who will ask you to gather a selection of grubs to make an oil mix to help Pumbaa get out of the log.  There are three breakable rocks by the river which you'll need to smash with your Royal Pickaxe to get all the grubs you need Speak to Timon after you've collected them all to get the recipe for two different bug oils Cook these using the green stove by the river Combine the two oils to create Super Slippery Bug Oil and give this to Timon It will be mixed with your Royal Watering Can which you'll then need to use on Pumbaa in the log this wont work and you'll need to find another way to get him out.  Return to the valley to speak to Goofy for advice and he'll give you his plunger to help The plunger alone isn't going to be enough and Goofy will tell you to gather some materials to make it slightly stronger You'll then need to gather the following materials: craft a reinforced plunger at a crafting station and go back to Pumbaa You'll be able to use this to pull him out of the log You'll then be invited back to the camp to take a nap with Timon and Pumbaa before you can finally invite them to your valley Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals Your Ads Privacy ChoicesIMDb There’s definitely some underlying concern on Hayley’s part When there are
