– This year’s AHSAA State Track & Field Championships were held in Cullman and Gulf Shores this weekend and the Cold Springs Eagles overcame the rest of Class 2A Local individual results (Gulf Shores and Cullman) Log in to leave a comment — The Kroger expansion at Martha Layne Collins in Cold Spring is moving forward after approval from city council The council held a second reading at a meeting on April 28 The zone change was for 19.7 acres at 70 Martha Layne Collins Blvd. from a residential and shopping center zone to a mixed-use planned development zone that allows for a full tear-down and rebuild of the existing store in a Kroger Marketplace Cold Spring Councilmember Adam Sandfoss voted no The project calls for rebuilding from a 60,662-square-foot store to a 131,000-square-foot store with a separate 8,000-square-foot wine and spirit shop, fuel center, pharmacy drive-through window and more. The Cold Spring Planning and Zoning Commission approved the development in February “I think a fuel center up there is neat,” said Cold Spring Councilmember Lisa Cavanaugh during the first reading of the vote on April 14 “There’s not really a whole lot of options up there in that part of town and that might keep people from having to go up to Crossroads.” Further project plans for the Kroger expansion can be found here Cold Spring Councilmember Steve Cunningham asked at the April 14th special meeting about the rumor that the Crossroads Boulevard Kroger Cold Spring City Attorney Brandon Voelker said Kroger just signed a new 10-year lease with the city for that location “That store is definitely not closing,” said Kroger Zoning Consultant Ann McBride “It is not going to be turned into pickup only McBride said Kroger has done extensive market research as they do before making a $35 million investment in a community to ensure there is enough market share not only for their own stores but also for other stores such as Publix She said the original store was built in 1988 next door to the Martha Layne Collins location Kroger is also putting a new $35 million marketplace down the road in Alexandria The following improvements are in the plans regarding the intersection of Alexandria Pike (US 27) and Martha Layne Collins Boulevard for the project: McBride said Kroger is struggling to get some of the construction materials it needs Electrical switchgear refers to a centralized collection of circuit breakers McBride said it takes around eight months to get that material.“I used to be able to say it’s about a 14-month construction project from the time it starts to the time it opens,” she said “I don’t want to make a false promise to any community Construction is estimated to begin in the fall of 2025 This story originally appeared on our partner's website LINK nky.

Deputies with the Washoe County Sheriff's Office were called to a home on the 17000 block of Crystal Canyon Blvd. before 7 a.m. on April 3 on the report of girl who had no pulse, was cold to touch and had been sick the night before. According to the probable cause document, authorities arrived on scene and found the young girl unresponsive in a bedroom upstairs lying next to a 'tiny mattress with no bed frame.' Emergency responders immediately noticed 'a lot of signs of trauma' and further described the girl as having oral trauma, apparent bruising on her face, pelvis, hips, the insides of her biceps and on her genitals, according to the documents. Deputies on scene also confirmed multiple apparent bruises, cuts, scabs and scrapes to the girl's arms, legs, torso and face, including a black eye and a gash over her other eye. The documents reveal the girl was suffering from more than 10 injuries easily seen on her face alone. At this point, responding deputies secured the crime scene and and notified additional detectives who were requested to respond. When first responders arrived on scene, they were met by both the girl's parents who've been identified as Nicholas and Andrea Loving. According to the documents, both parents provided statements to deputies regarding the black eye, saying the girl had been hit in the head with a baseball bat and recently fallen, but provided no explanation for the other injuries. Nicholas then told detectives his daughter recently fell out of his truck and he grabbed her arms to save her, which was why she has bruises on her biceps. Loving added that someone else also hit the girl in the face with a plastic baseball bat the same day, causing the black eye. He went on to tell detectives the 5-year-old girl fell out of his truck a second time less than a week prior, hitting the asphalt and causing the gash on her head. The documents outlined Nicholas describing his daughter constantly falling, including down the stairs, causing bruising on her butt. The Lovings told investigators they planned to take their daughter to a specialist in June to determine why she was falling so much. The pair proceeded to tell investigators their young daughter had been sick for 9 to 10 days, coughing up mucus and blood and went to bed the night before her death between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. The Lovings told detectives they were woken up by another daughter saying the 5-year-old was throwing up. Andrea and Nick told police they checked on their 5-year-old daughter saying she was 'OK', and everyone went back to bed. When police confronted the parents about not taking their daughter to the doctor sooner, they said they didn't want the doctors to see her injuries and they were previously advised not to seek medical attention until at least 12 days after falling ill. Documents say Nicholas checked on the daughter once more in the middle of the night before waking up the next morning to find his daughter not breathing and cold to the touch. Both parents pointed to a recent Child Protective Services case against them saying it was closed, and they were concerned police on scene might call CPS for this. Additional detectives arrived on scene shortly after 8 a.m. and both parents agreed to voluntarily interview at the Washoe County Sheriff's Office as part of the investigation. The family loaded up into their car and met with detectives at the jail off Parr Blvd. During the interview, Nicholas denied ever hitting, spanking, shoving or kicking his 5-year-old daughter and had no explanation for the apparent severe injuries, saying he works so much and is hardly ever home. The father went on to describe several incidents over the past two weeks that might've caused the injuries. According to the documents, the 35-year-old father described on two occasions how his daughter had fallen out of his Ford pick-up truck. In explaining one of the incidents, he said it was roughly a week and a half prior to her death, and she fell out of the back passenger side while he was outside the truck. However, over time, detectives say he gave two versions of the incidents. In the first version, he described his daughter hitting her face on the asphalt and then in another version, he said she put her hands down and broke her fall, not hitting her face. The documents go on to say Loving explained that on the night of March 2, his daughter complained of being cold and not feeling well. He said he took her temperature, and it was 96 or 97 degrees, but didn't feel the need to call the doctor, instead he stuck her in the bath and put her to bed. He said he went to bed around 9:30 or 10 p.m. that night and was awoken just before 7 a.m. to someone in his household 'freaking out' because the 5-year-old was unresponsive. The documents said a family member began CPR on the daughter while on the phone with 911. During the course of the interview, Nicholas ended up admitting he and Andrea actually discovered the 5-year-old not breathing at 2 a.m. on the day of her death, but didn't call for help for roughly 5 hours, saying he was consoling his wife. According to the documents, Nicholas also admitted to police they kept the 5-year-old daughter in a makeshift 5-by-5-foot cubby in the girl's room. He said he locked his daughter in there on occasion as a punishment. While executing a search warrant of the home, deputies also noticed a room where two other daughters slept on a 'nice queen-sized bed' while the daughter who died slept on a crib-sized mattress on the floor. Andrea told detectives during the interview she recently saw Nicholas kick the 5-year-old in the genitals and she witnessed him drag her by the collar or hooded sweatshirt up the stairs. According to the documents, at the end of the interview, Andrea told authorities, 'I should go to jail for not helping her and Nick should go to jail for killing her.' The daughters were also interviewed, and they told detectives they were woken up around midnight and forced to go downstairs. They were told by their dad that their sister had died and they might be going on a trip, according to the documents. At this point, detectives had enough evidence to charge and arrest 35-year-old Nicholas Loving with one count of child abuse causing substantial bodily harm, pending a completed autopsy from the Washoe County Medical Examiner's Office. The documents outline how Nicholas was re-interviewed and confronted with some of the allegations shared by his family members and he blamed the decision on not calling 911 at 2 a.m. on Andrea saying it was her idea to run. Andrea disputed Nicholas by telling the authorities he wanted to bury the body in the backyard and 'run' to his parents’ house in Virginia. The mother disagreed, saying they couldn't do that because the body would 'rot,' according to the documents. Police noticed abrasions on Loving's hands and fingers, but he blamed the injuries on work. Sheriff Darin Balaam expressed the gravity of the situation in a statement: “This is an unimaginable and heartbreaking case of abuse that tragically ended in the loss of a child. Our hearts are heavy for the loss of such a young, innocent life. As we all mourn this tragedy, we will remain steadfast in our commitment to justice." A bail hearing has been set for Loving on Wednesday, April 9 at 1:30 p.m. He's currently being held at the Washoe County jail. The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is urged to contact the Washoe County Sheriff's Office Detective Division at (775) 328-3320. You are urged to call 833-900-SAFE if you suspect abuse or neglect. Authorities have arrested a man after allegedly threatening his neighbor with an axe, leading to a standoff in Cold Springs.

WATCHJudge orders $10 million cash bail for Cold Springs father charged in daughter's deathby News 4-Fox 11 Digital Staff RENO, Nev. (News 4-Fox 11) — A Washoe County judge set bail at $10 million cash only for the Cold Springs father charged in connection to the death of his 5-year-old daughter. Nicholas Loving, 35, is currently in custody at the Washoe County jail where he faces one count of child abuse causing substantially bodily harm after Izabella Loving was found dead in their home on April 3. Judge Kendra Bertschy said during a court hearing Wednesday afternoon that state law prohibits a no-bail hold for his current charges. Loving was scheduled to appear virtually from the jail, but he was never seen during the minutes-long court hearing as his court-appointed public defender and legal counsel for the state sorted out the specifics before the judge. If Loving is able to post the $10 million bail, there will be a number of stipulations including home confinement, ankle monitor system, a no contact order with his four kids who are currently in Child Protective Services custody and his wife Andrea Loving. According to the probable cause document, authorities arrived on scene and found the young girl unresponsive in a bedroom upstairs lying next to a 'tiny mattress with no bed frame.' Emergency responders immediately noticed 'a lot of signs of trauma' and further described the girl as having oral trauma, apparent bruising on her face, pelvis, hips, the insides of her biceps and on her genitals, according to the documents. Both Andrea and Nicholas Loving told police their daughter Izabella was sick the night of her death, but they said they checked on her in the middle of the night saying she was 'OK,' and everyone went back to bed. When police confronted the parents about not taking their daughter to the doctor sooner, they said they didn't want the doctors to see her injuries and they were previously advised not to seek medical attention until at least 12 days after falling ill. While interviewing the parents, Andrea told authorities Nick wanted to bury Izabella's body in the backyard and take a trip to his parents house in Virginia. Over the course of the investigation and interviews with family members, detectives had enough evidence to charge the 35-year-old father with one count of child abuse causing substantial bodily harm. Court documents obtained by News 4-Fox 11 just hours before the bail hearing revealed Loving was convicted of the exact same charge in 2014. According to those documents, Loving was initially charged with 2 counts of child abuse and one count of domestic battery stemming from an incident involving his then-girlfriend's 2-year-old son. He pleaded guilty to one count of child abuse causing substantial bodily harm and ultimately served 60 months probation. Now, he is again charged with one count of child abuse/neglect resulting in substantial bodily harm in the death of 5-year-old Izebella Loving. According to Reno Police records filed in the 2014 case, Loving told police he bit the 2-year-old boy on the right shoulder, 'leaving distinct teeth patterns on the child's right shoulder,' because he was rambunctious after a bath. He also admitted to pulling the child up by the arm, which 'most likely caused (a) spiral fracture.' Loving told police that he 'did not mean to harm the child, but agreed the child had the broken arm because he lost his temper.' Washoe County Judge Elliott Sattler technically sentenced Loving to a prison term up to 96 months, but Sattler suspended the prison sentence and sentenced him to 5 years of probation. That means Loving would've automatically served that prison time had he violated the terms of his probation, but he did not violate his probation and ultimately did not do any prison time for the child abuse conviction. The lighter sentence came after Loving's attorney argued for leniency, saying that he felt genuinely remorseful, was gainfully employed and a good support system. District Attorney Chris Hicks expressed deep sorrow over the death of 5-year-old Izabella Loving and emphasized the importance of a comprehensive investigation to ensure justice. "Like so many in our community, my office was heartbroken to hear of this child’s death and the terrible injuries she suffered," Hicks said. "A complete and thorough investigation is critical to pursuing justice for this victim and it is our highest priority." Hicks stated that his office's most experienced prosecutors are collaborating closely with Sheriff's Office detectives as they finalize their investigation. Once completed, the District Attorney’s Office will meticulously review the evidence to ensure all legally viable charges are pursued. He noted that initial charges in a case can be amended or added later, depending on further investigation, advanced forensic testing, or expert reviews, particularly in cases involving a death. The Washoe County Sheriff's Office and Washoe County District Attorney have released an update on the ongoing investigation of Izabella Loving. He is accused in the death of his five-year-old daughter, Izabella Loving. The Washoe County Sheriff and District Attorney say they're doing everything they can to bring justice for Izabella Loving, the five-year-old girl who died after signs of abuse. Community members have been tying pink ribbons to trees in Cold Springs to honor Izabella. Alexandra Rae is live from the Cold Springs Valley Church, where a vigil is currently being held. The Washoe County Sheriff's Office and Washoe County District Attorney have released an update on the ongoing investigation of Izabella Loving who died earlier this month.  District Attorney Chris Hicks issued the following statement Wednesday regarding the ongoing investigation into the death of a child, with signs of physical abuse : "Like so many in our community, my office was heartbroken to hear of the death of Izabella Loving and the terrible injuries she suffered. A complete and thorough investigation is critical to pursuing justice for this victim and it is our highest priority. As such, my office’s most experienced prosecutors are working closely with Sheriff’s Office detectives as they complete their investigation. The District Attorney’s Office will then methodically review the evidence and ensure all legally viable charges are pursued. We will keep the community updated to the extent we can, but are not able to specifically comment on Loving’s case. Generally speaking, initial charges filed in a case can be amended or added at a later date. Prosecutors must meet high burdens of proof at every stage, particularly when filing charges. These additions or changes are often based on results from further investigation, advanced forensic testing or, in the case involving a death, a coroner’s report or expert reviews.” The Washoe County Sheriff's Office says a man was arrested for child abuse after a child died on Thursday. On April 3rd at around 6:50 a.m., deputies say they responded to a home in Cold Springs following a report of an unresponsive child. Officials say when deputies and medical personnel arrived on scene, life-saving measures were unsuccessful, and the child was pronounced dead. Investigators say during the investigation, detectives discovered significant signs of physical abuse on the child. The child's father, Nicholas Loving, was arrested and booked into the Washoe County Detention Facility for alleged Child Abuse Resulting in Substantial Bodily Harm. Sheriff Darin Balaam said, “This is an unimaginable and heartbreaking case of abuse that tragically ended in the loss of a child. Our hearts are heavy for the loss of such a young, innocent life. As we all mourn this tragedy, we will remain steadfast in our commitment to justice. We will ensure that the victim is not forgotten and that accountability is fully pursued.” This is an ongoing investigation.

Cold Springs developer faces setback as board rejects shift from housing to industrialby Ben Margiott (News 4 & Fox 11) — The developer behind a massive housing project in Cold Springs north of Reno is seeking to drastically alter the proposal significantly reducing the amount of homes planned and increasing the amount of industrial uses But StoneGate developer Heinz Ranch LLC ran into a serious hurdle this week as the Reno Planning Commission rejected the attempt with commissioners worried about the compatibility in the surrounding areas the matter will go to the Reno City Council which will have the final say later this year when it considers the master plan amendment developers said economic conditions in the past several years prompted them to significantly downgrade the housing component and increase the industrial uses the proposal contains just 1,350 residential units and 11.75 million square feet of land for industrial uses StoneGate representatives Wednesday night tried to convince planning commissioners the amended project would result in a higher quality of life for Cold Springs residents pointing to lower projected traffic volumes and water usage But multiple planning commissioners didn't buy the argument "Right now we seem to have a surplus of distribution and warehouse facilities that are unoccupied millions of square feet of unoccupied distribution," she said said the city needs more massive industrial properties in order to compete with major manufacturing centers such as the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center in Storey County "There's not a lot of large tracts of land where we could facilitate major employers coming to our region We cannot compete with Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center the city of Fernley or even Fallon," he said He said the revised StoneGate project would result in a 9% reduction in total vehicle trips and with far fewer housing units it would eliminate the need for a new fire station There would also be no need to build additional schools with the projected number of K-12 students that would live in StoneGate dropping to less than 500 It's expected that Heinz Ranch LLC will appeal the decision to the Reno City Council but the matter will go before the council regardless of any appeal WATCH the Reno Planning Commission meeting here: Email reporter Ben Margiott at bjmargiott@sbgtv.com.

Springs’ sophomore Lainey Gerstman went home with the crown She has been competing in pageants for several years but this was her first time competing for Miss Strawberry Queen Being in a lot of pageants helped her prepare for the competition and being around so many talented girls helped her get more comfortable as well but I loved talking and making friends with the other contestants to ease my nerves,” Gerstman said “It helped me learn the things I needed to improve on and what I needed to keep doing It was a great experience being able to watch everyone else and learning from them so I can better myself in every pageant.” and she had a lot of help during her preparation for the big event Having her sister Avery by her side helped her out so much and she learned a lot from her in her pageants over the years “I learned that in the pageant world It’s about having fun and making new friends along the way I made sure my dress was steamed and ready “It was amazing being able to have her help me with all my pageants I don’t think I could’ve won this pageant without her She showed me how to perfect my walk and smile Watching her in all of her pageants taught me to be slow and steady while also looking confident.” Lainey did something special before the pageant got underway and she was shocked when she heard that she had won I always pray that it goes smoothly for me and everyone else I talk to my sister to calm my nerves,” she said I was super happy and excited to have been chosen to represent the Strawberry Festival All of the other contestants were very happy for me and congratulated me My family and friends were all super excited and proud of me.” and Lainey wants to be a role model for them now as well She shared some advice for any girls that want to compete in pageants themselves I love that I can influence future generations to always be kind and love everyone and always give our God the credit,” she said “My advice would be to make sure to walk slow and be comfortable Never give up if you don’t win a pageant but the real prize is the friends you make on the way and having fun.” Lainey made a lot of great friends and a lot of great memories at this year’s pageant and she talked about her most memorable moment Making friends is my favorite part of pageants like this and I am always talking to new people and learning things about them I love looking back at my pageants and remembering how fun it was and how kind everyone else is,” she said “It was probably after we all walked We stood in a group just talking about our walks and dresses and just getting to know each other.” God has played a huge role in Lainey’s life and she shared a couple of her favorite Bible verses She also talked about one of the most meaningful things she’s learned from participating in these events “He has been a part of all of my pageants and even though it is disappointing if I don’t win I love to watch other people win and put the glory to God He is the foundation to everything and the answer to all problems,” she said “One of my favorite Bible verses is 2 Corinthians 5:7: ‘For we walk by faith not by sight.’ It helps me a lot when I’m competing because it’s a reminder to always have faith in myself and not worry about what anyone else but God thinks about me Another one is Proverbs 16:3: ‘Commit all your work to the Lord and your plans will be established.’ That is why I give God the glory for all of my accomplishments in anything and it will open up a lot more opportunities for so many people.” Nevada Highway Patrol is investigating a fatal crash on Northbound US 395 at the Cold Springs exit The crash happened around 12:30 a.m on Thursday Officials say one man is dead after a single vehicle rollover crash According to police the driver was heading Northbound on US 395 and went off the road and hit the exit 80 sign Washoe County Sheriffs Office is assisting with the investigation We have a crew on scene and will update as more information becomes available – After serving the last nine seasons at the helm of Good Hope’s varsity boys’ basketball program head coach Drew Adams is headed for a new destination Adams confirmed that he was officially hired by Cold Springs High School on Wednesday and is set to take the reins of the Eagles’ varsity boys’ program there were several factors in making this decision but the biggest one in his mind was how it would affect his family life His wife Paige Adams was recently promoted to head coach of the varsity girls’ team at Cold Springs and that was when Drew really saw an opportunity begin to take shape “I have loved every minute of my nine years at Good Hope and at no point had I ever really thought about going anywhere else or doing anything different But when the girls job came open at Cold Springs and my wife got the job things sort of shifted in my mind a little bit We have always wanted to one day be at the same place and with the boys’ job being open there was a very rare opportunity for us to not only be at the same place but to be head coaches for the same sport Combine that with the potential that the Cold Springs basketball program has and the love that their community and administration have for basketball it was an opportunity we just felt we couldn’t pass up as a family,” Adams said First is we can be with our son Parker so much more November through February Basketball season is crazy busy and us being head coaches at different schools would be really difficult I rarely got to see Parker or Paige many weeknights this past season because we were always playing at separate places Now we can be at the same place on a nightly basis being a head coach can be difficult at times Us being at the same place and being able to support each other through the ups and downs was important to us getting to have a front row seat to watch Paige starting her journey as the head girls coach at Cold Springs is special to me I can’t wait to watch her get to work with her girls and I’m looking forward to meeting my guys.” Adams led the Raiders to a pair of Sweet 16 appearances and five county championships during his tenure at Good Hope and he’ll look back on those years fondly In addition to all the players he’s mentored during that time Adams also credits the assistant coaches that have been at his side for helping the program achieve that success I don’t know where to start when reflecting back on my time at Good Hope They welcomed me with open arms from day one and I have loved every second there A head coach is only as good as his players and assistants We have been blessed with a group of guys for nearly a decade that work their tails off and represented their school proudly each night We have had an all-state player for seven straight years which is rare for a head coach to get to have Players win games and we have had some good ones,” Adams said “And I also considered myself to have one of the best support staffs in the state Working with my dad had been a dream come true but he is also an elite leader of young men and he did so much behind the scenes for me Griffin Morris is like a little brother to me We snagged griffin as soon as he graduated college and he has been a tremendous asset to our program Griffin’s an incredible guy who our guys love and he has made our program better since the moment he was hired at Good Hope Both guys love basketball but most importantly they love Jesus and spoke with our guys often about the things that truly matter With the familial connection to Cold Springs Adams has been able to stay familiar with the Eagles’ basketball program and he’s excited to get started with a team that he believes has a lot of potential “With Paige being at Cold Springs the last several years I have been able to keep up with Cold Springs basketball from afar We’ve obviously competed against each other for nine years but I have kept up with them like I do most of the nearby programs The Cold Springs Boys program has a lot of potential over the next several years,” Adams said “Their varsity was really young this past year and had a good postseason and their middle school was county runners-up You never know what the future holds so I would never speak on what I think will happen but I do think the future is bright and I’m excited to get to work with the guys My prayer is that I help them reach their potential and that I’m a godly mentor for them on a daily basis.” — After clinching a spot in the playoffs last week the Cold

Professor David Tuveson and Research Investigator Claudia Tonelli have found a way to “intercept” pancreatic cancer they were able to prevent pancreatic cancer from forming in the first place Pancreatic cancer is projected to become the second-deadliest cancer by 2030. By the time it’s diagnosed, it’s often difficult to treat. So, for both individual patients and the general population, fighting pancreatic cancer can feel like a race against time. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Professor and Cancer Center Director David Tuveson offers a telling analogy: But some of your moles you have a dermatologist looking at to make sure it’s always fine They may take it out and send it to the pathologist to ask Imagine that in your pancreas—because that’s the reality We all have early versions of cancer in many tissues at all times.” Now imagine treating those “early versions” in the pancreas—before they become cancerous. A new discovery at the CSHL Cancer Center could help make this possible Tuveson and Research Investigator Claudia Tonelli have found a way to effectively “intercept” pancreatic cancer we need to first understand a little bit about pancreatic cancer genetics “Over 95% of pancreatic cancer patients have mutations in KRAS,” Tonelli explains. “It’s the driving oncogene in this disease. We discovered that another gene, FGFR2, plays a role in enhancing mutant KRAS signaling in pancreatic cancer. When that happens, those ‘early versions’ of pancreatic cancer become much more aggressive.” Tonelli and Tuveson observed this outcome in mice and organoids—lab-grown versions of human pancreatic tissue the researchers weren’t just having a look Their goal was to stop the pancreatic tissue from becoming cancerous Because FGFR2 is a known oncogene in other cancers several inhibitors are already used in the clinic today When Tonelli and her colleagues inhibited FGFR2 at precisely the right moment When they targeted FGFR2 along with EGFR—a protein known to be overactive in pancreatic cancer—they saw even better results Fewer “early versions of cancer” formed in the first place “With an increasing number of FGFR2 inhibitors entering the clinic our study lays the foundation to explore their use in combination with EGFR inhibitors for pancreatic cancer interception,” Tonelli says Patients with a family history of pancreatic cancer would likely be among the first candidates to receive such treatments For now, fighting pancreatic cancer remains a race against time the day may soon come when time is on our side Written by: Samuel Diamond, Editorial Content Manager | diamond@cshl.edu | 516-367-5055 Tonelli, C., et al., “FGFR2 Abrogation Intercepts Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Development”, Cancer Research, April 2, 2025.

I think we only gave them one shot in that quarter so I felt like that was a big difference,” Cold Springs Head Coach Tammy West said “We hit a few shots during that quarter and played really hard we’d miss some open shots and once we got settled down We were 4 for 24 and out of those 24 I’m going to say most of them were uncontested,” We did some really nice things offensively some things we haven’t done all year before but defensively there were just so many weapons from Decatur Heritage that you had to worry about That just made it really hard for us to slow them down.” Three-pointers from Ella Dickerson and Hollyn Bruer put the Lady Eagles behind Decatur Heritage 7-6 early in the opening period Dickerson hit a pair of free throws to trim the lead to 12-8 later in the first quarter but Decatur Heritage built a 20-8 lead by the start of the second Cold Springs battled back in the second quarter Kenady Graves laid one in to make it a 22-10 game and after drawing a foul on a three-point attempt Dickerson knocked down all three from the line to cut the lead to 24-13 Dickerson drilled another three to make it 24-16 and Macie Huffstutler added a pair of free throws to hold the lead to 26-18 later in the period After Dickerson split a pair of free throws Graves scored in the paint to make it a 26-21 game and Dickerson tacked on one more free throw in the final second of the first half to bring the lead down to 26-22 at halftime Cold Springs had a tough time getting much going on the offensive end in the third quarter Decatur Heritage scored 13 unanswered points to start the period Huffstutler knocked down a three with around a minute remaining in the third but the Eagles trailed Decatur Heritage 41-25 going into the fourth Cold Springs didn’t go down quietly in the final frame A pair of baskets from Huffstutler and Dickerson made it a 50-33 game midway through the fourth quarter Bruer and Dickerson each split a pair of free throws to make it 52-35 later in the period and Paizley Whitlow laid one in and Kaydance Williams sank a couple free throws to continue chipping away but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Decatur Heritage lead and Cold Springs’ season came to an end with a 61-41 loss in the Elite Eight Dickerson led the Lady Eagles with 18 points and seven rebounds in the loss Huffstutler posted nine points and eight rebounds and Graves and Bruer each added four points Ella Dickerson and Kenady Graves also earned Northwest Regional All-Tournament team honors How to watch Alabama high school baseball: Red Bay vs Red Bay High School will host Cold Springs High School How to watch Cold Springs vs. Red Bay baseballCold Springs and Red Bay will match up on Friday, April 18, at 4:15 p.m. CT.

boom We Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 I have loved sports for just about as long as I can remember but I do still get in the game occasionally but I am still alive and move and have my being (Acts 17:28) I am definitely looking forward to this week’s Olympics and give thanks that I will be able to do one of things I love to do I used to watch the Olympics and dream of being one of the athletes I’ve done some of the same things some of them do but never anywhere near their level or with the skill with which they do it I learned to snow ski and loved doing that for many years I have watched with amazement as the ski jumpers sped down a ramp and flew off its end like a bird soaring through the air when I saw those ramps up close and personal to go off that thing!” I have settled for doing what I can do I have loved racket and paddle sports for most of my life enough already!” Then I discovered a sport that is a little slower paced and a little more forgiving to one that has a few extra miles on the body two years ago I finally got my chance to compete in the Olympics I played pickleball and actually walked away with a silver medal I’m still not sure who it belonged to!  No and I feared that my playing days might be over When the Senior Olympics rolled back around the next year I had not recovered enough to play in them I watched my friends play and dreamed of one day

of many who evacuated the Los Angeles fires with little notice on January 7 and a baby who will be born in about two weeks," Burke said She and her family of almost five quickly evacuated their home in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday it's the community that you lose," Burke said Small School Districts' Association Executive Director Yuri Calderon and many people in the Montecito community know this trauma firsthand "And that feeling of just not knowing where to go or what to do during the day," Calderon said Cold Springs Elementary and community partners are offering a free day camp to evacuated children ages 6-16 "I think it was just nice that we invited them into our community and so they can have a nice feeling of what it's like to be here in Santa Barbara," said 6th grader Jake Miller Miller knows what it's like to overcome trauma He was in the Cold Springs kindergarten class of 2018 which lost one of its own to the deadly 1/9 debris flow He says it was his community that helped him heal The camp has more than 70 children in attendance and plans to run through Tuesday "A lot of the kids came in with tears and they were scared It's what a community is all about," Alzina said And that community will likely have one more member in a few weeks "I’ll end up having this baby here in Santa Barbara we can pay it forward someday too," Burke said – The Cold Springs Lady Eagles dominated Lexington in the Sub-Regional to punch their ticket to the Sweet 16 and their postseason run continued with a matchup against Sulligent at the Northwest Regional Tuesday afternoon Cold Springs couldn’t have gotten off to a better start in the opening period but the Lady Eagles had to fend off a huge rally from Sulligent in the second half to advance to the Northwest Regional Finals Cold Springs Head Coach Tammy West was proud of the mental toughness her team showed as Sulligent chipped away at the lead in the second half The Eagles smothered Sulligent on the defensive end and were able to make the plays they needed to down the stretch to hold off the Blue Devils and punch their ticket to the Elite Eight “It was definitely a team effort on defense Every time the ball was on the floor there were blue jerseys on the floor,” West said “I was very proud that they held their composure because we haven’t had a lot of games like that this year I was kind of worried about how we would respond I know that Sulligent has a lot of seniors so I was super proud of them for continuing to do what we had done the whole game and we hit our free throws at the end and got the rebounds when we needed them and the stops when we needed them Cold Springs got out to a quick start to the game A quick basket by Ella Dickerson put the Lady Eagles on the scoreboard first Hollyn Bruer drilled a trey from the right wing to give the Lady Eagles an early 5-0 lead with less than five minutes to go in the opening period Macie Huffstutler found Dickerson for a basket down low to make it 7-0 and then Kenady Graves laid one in to extend the lead to 9-0 late in the first quarter Paizley Whitlow buried a three from the left wing then Huffstutler scored off a Sulligent turnover to make it a 14-0 game Dickerson added another basket in the paint then Whitlow hit her second three of the quarter from the left wing to stretch Cold Springs’ lead to 20-0 going into the second quarter Whitlow’s three from the left corner put the Lady Eagles ahead 23-2 The Lady Blue Devils hit a trio of late baskets to cut it to 23-8 Dickerson hit a basket just before the buzzer to put Cold Springs ahead 25-8 at the half then Graves laid it in to give the Lady Eagles a 29-8 lead early in the third quarter Sulligent scored the next eight points to trim the deficit to 29-16 Graves scored through a foul and completed the three-point play at the free-throw line to increase Cold Springs’s lead to 32-16 almost midway through the third quarter Huffstutler hit a late basket to give the Lady Eagles a 34-19 lead and they would take a 34-21 lead into the final period A 7-2 run from the Lady Blue Devils made it a 36-28 game Both teams traded baskets to keep it at an eight-point game at 38-30 to cut it to 40-36 with a little over three minutes to go in the contest The Lady Blue Devils trimmed it to 40-38 with a little over two minutes to play in the game Whitlow and Bruer each hit a pair of free throws to help seal a 46-38 win for Cold Springs and secure a spot in the Elite Eight Graves led Cold Springs with 14 points in the win Whitlow added 13 points and Dickerson finished with 10 points and five rebounds Dickerson and Whitlow credited the team’s effort on the defensive end and Coach West’s words at halftime for being able to pull out the Sweet 16 victory “Coach West told us at halftime that they were going to eventually start scoring so we just had to keep things up on defense Coach West told us we had to be dogs on defense and that’s what we tried to do for the entire game.” “We just told ourselves that we can’t run out of gas and Coach West told us at halftime that if we could just hold on and play 16 minutes of solid defense that we would win the ball game and that’s what we did We struggled scoring in the second and third quarter but we held on the defensive end and played with grit and we know that’s what it was going to take to win the game.” played together and played lights out on defense That just shows how well we can play together.” Cold Springs will be back on the court on Monday at 9 a.m to face either Belgreen or Decatur Heritage Courses at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have a long history two graduate students attended a highly sought-after training program at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) with support from research labs across the psychology and biology departments CSHL organizes over two dozen scientific courses that last approximately 1-2 weeks Graduate students Wendy Alfonso Torrens and Arnab Biswas students in the Integrative Neuroscience program each spent two weeks at CSHL over the summer attending a course related to their research interests The courses were recommended to the students by Jennifer Hoy an associate professor in the Department of Biology Hoy herself attended a similar course at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute as a graduate student and later a course at CSHL as a postdoctoral scholar “I feel like [these programs are] very much responsible for my connectivity and my level of felt success,” Hoy said Hoy had a better idea of what she wanted to study post-graduation and what kinds of postdoctoral opportunities she was interested in pursuing She also made friends during the program who remain her close colleagues in a variety of fields and job types and across the world Her biggest takeaway was feeling like she could be successful in pursuing a research career Hoy encouraged Torrens and Biswas to apply for the CSHL courses The programs receive up to 300 applications Torrens and Biswas both had a successful application but their attendance wasn’t guaranteed; the students still had to secure funding to attend Torrens filled out a request for funding in the application and was fully funded for the course through the International Brain Research Organization Torrens also successfully applied for the Graduate Student Association travel award but the award didn’t cover all her travel costs She still needed support for travel though a professor of psychology and director of the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence for Integrative Neuroscience at the University was able to provide that remaining support through his grant Webster also supported Biswas’s course costs alongside Biswas’s co-advisors Hoy and Mark Lescroart Biswas also applied for the Graduate Student Association’s travel award and was successful Both students expressed great appreciation for the funding support they received They each indicated how difficult it would have been to come up with the money themselves as graduate students Torrens attended a course about schizophrenia and related disorders while Biswas attended a course about visual computational neuroscience Attendees learn from world experts on how to implement techniques and get to network with those scientists The scientists also get to hear about the work being done by the students and at the University Torrens said the days were long but rewarding the lectures discussed novel research on schizophrenia spectrum disorders from various perspectives The students each presented a “chalk talk” which was a presentation about their work using illustrations on a chalk board The program also included time for the students to engage with one another and with the lecturers socially including activities like time at the ocean She and her cohort have an active messaging group where they share things like postdoctoral opportunities and photos from the course “We developed really close relationships with other students in the course,” Torrens said A program reviewer from the National Institutes of Health guest-lectured at the course and provided students with insights into how they can submit a successful grant proposal Biswas’s program was structured a bit differently with the students expected to complete a small-scale project by the end of the course Students worked one-on-one with a faculty member which Biswas said was an excellent opportunity to network He plans to apply for a postdoctoral scholar position with the researcher he worked with when he nears graduation “It felt like my way of networking,” Biswas said Both Biswas and Torrens said that typically to speak to leaders in their respective fields the best opportunity is a conference when everybody else wants to speak to those individuals The small course format allowed for easy engagement with the experts Biswas is hearing impaired and mentioned that the speakers specifically addressed challenges people might face due to having disabilities or being from other marginalized communities and that should the students hit any roadblocks the students each felt some imposter syndrome Many of the students were from Ivy League or other prestigious universities The students took a group photo on the campus where prior cohorts had also gathered for a group photo Torrens and her cohort perused the photos of previous classes spotting big names in the field and recognizing that they were part of the same program “I would consider [acceptance into these programs] to be on par with the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships in terms of the way it bridges the students’ connection to the professional community,” Hoy said Hoy added that this programming is important not just for the student and their home lab The students bring back expertise on a new technology or theoretical concept that can benefit faculty and students campus wide they have to indicate how their attendance at the course will benefit not only them but also how they can positively impact their own research community and environment by disseminating what they’ve learned to their home institution Hoy said that another great aspect of these programs is that when students return from their time at CSHL or Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute they are energized and excited to apply what they’ve learned they’re so motivated,” Hoy said A similar program Hoy recommended for students interested in gaining this type of experience is the Summer Program in Neuroscience Excellence and Success (SPINES) course at the Marine Biological Laboratory which has been running for over two decades trains first-generation or otherwise underrepresented students to be leaders by focusing on professional development “SPINES has just been an incredible model for diversifying neuroscience in particular,” Hoy said “I hope other fields and areas would adopt it.” The students both recommend the program for the many opportunities it granted each of them to learn from some of the leading experts in their fields Giving Day: The Wolf Pack Way raises over $750,000 From literacy to leadership: empowering voices across borders
