The Theodore Roosevelt Bridge that connects D.C
to Northern Virginia is set to get a $127 million upgrade beginning next week
The renovation project will take an estimated three and a half years
Department of Transportation officials are hoping to minimize the traffic impact
The 60-year-old bridge carries nearly 95,000 vehicles a day and functions as a key point of entry and exit in and out of the city
DDOT Director Sharon Kershbaum said the bridge is in pretty rough shape and has needed repairs for years
“This is the first major restoration project on that bridge
So there’s a number of structural improvements and we’re going to be upgrading the deck
there’s also going to be some great aesthetic improvements that are very much needed,” she said
and not befitting an entry corridor into our beautiful city.”
But much more than just repainting will take place
and the bridge will be widened for more pedestrian and cyclist use
Also planned are extensive structural repairs including upgrading traffic barriers and railings
along with replacing signage and sign structures
DDOT said there are several key impacts on traffic in and out of D.C
The traffic agency is making the following recommendations to motorists and others who use the bridge:
Kershbaum said the bridge will look much different and be more functional for cars
“We’re going to be widening the north sidewalk by 10 feet
so the sidewalk will actually jut over the existing footprint and make it far more inviting for pedestrians and for cyclists,” she said
We are doing everything we can to both expedite the project and also keep as many lanes open as we can.”
The federal government will be footing 90% of the multimillion dollar check
Kershbaum said no lane changes are planned for the bridge
and it will continue to operate with seven lanes — three inbound and three outbound and one reversible
with that being inbound in the morning and outbound in the afternoon
The Roosevelt Bridge opened during the early years of Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration. Since its opening 60 years ago, it has been maintained by DDOT, and the most recent repairs took place in 2022.
Located near the Kennedy Center and the National Mall
as well as near Arlington National Cemetery and numerous monuments
the bridge also serves as a major connection point on the D.C

former Metropolitan Archbishop of Washington
who was dismissed from the clerical state in 2019 for sexual abuse of adults and minors
The former cardinal departed this life on 3 April 2025 in the U.S
where he had been living in seclusion since 2020
McCarrick was a prominent figure in the U.S
Prior to leading the archdiocese of Washington
McCarrick had served as auxiliary bishop of New York
In 2018 he was accused of abuse of adults – in particular seminarians – and minors
and was suspended a divinis (a canonical penalty depriving clerics of the right to exercise their ministry)
the then-cardinal submitted his resignation from the College of Cardinals
Pope Francis obliged the former cardinal to a life of prayer and penance
until the regular canonical process could be completed
the then-Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith announced that McCarrick had been removed from the clerical state
declaring he had been found guilty of the crime of solicitation in the sacrament of Confession and violations of the Sixth Commandment with minors and adults
with the aggravating circumstance of abuse of power
Pope Francis confirmed the definitive nature of the decision
authorised by the Pope himself and undertaken by the Secretariat of State
resulted in a detailed Report that provided information about McCarrick’s abuses dating back to the 1980s and 1990s
The Report also identified instances of partial and incomplete information that allowed the then-archbishop to assume the leadership of the Archdiocese of Washington

WASHINGTON — Theodore McCarrick, a once-powerful Catholic cardinal who was defrocked by Pope Francis in 2019 after a Vatican investigation determined he had molested adults and children
Archbishop of Washington Robert McElroy issued a statement Friday confirming McCarrick's death a day earlier but provided no details
His statement focused on those McCarrick abused
"At this moment I am especially mindful of those who he harmed during the course of his priestly ministry," McElroy said
may we remain steadfast in our prayers for them and for all victims of sexual abuse."
it was disclosed that McCarrick had been diagnosed with dementia
The McCarrick scandal created a crisis of credibility for the church
primarily because there was evidence Vatican and U.S
church leaders knew he slept with seminarians but turned a blind eye as McCarrick rose to the top of the U.S
church as an adept fundraiser who advised three popes
The Vatican's report on its investigation put the lion's share of blame on a dead saint: Pope John Paul II
who appointed McCarrick archbishop of Washington
despite having commissioned an inquiry that confirmed he slept with seminarians
The report found that John Paul believed McCarrick's last-minute
handwritten denial in which he wrote: "I have made mistakes and may have sometimes lacked in prudence
but in the seventy years of my life I have never had sexual relations with any person
cardinals and popes dismissed or downplayed reports of McCarrick's misconduct with young men as he rose through the ranks to become a cardinal and archbishop
The report contained heartbreaking testimony from people who tried to raise the alarm about McCarrick's inappropriate behavior
While the findings provided new details about what the Vatican knew and when
it didn't directly blame or admit that the church's internal "old boys club" culture allowed McCarrick's behavior to continue unchecked
Cardinals and bishops have long been considered beyond reproach
Claims of homosexual behavior are used to discredit or blackmail prelates that they often are dismissed as rumor
There also has been a widespread but unspoken tolerance of sexually active men in what is supposed to be a celibate priesthood
The report drew on documents from Vatican departments
dioceses and seminaries and the Vatican's U.S
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, responded to McCarrick's death expressing frustration that the ex-cardinal, although defrocked
never stood trial for "the vast harm he inflicted."
but his many victims are not," said Peter Isely

who was the archbishop of Washington from 2000 to 2006
church officials accused in a sexual abuse scandal that has seen thousands of priests implicated
was a gifted fundraiser and spoke multiple languages
He was a priest in New York City from 1958
He was archbishop of Newark from 1986 until 2000 and was elevated to cardinal in 2001

(AP) — The stars came out for the Vegas Golden Knights down the stretch of their first-round series
The outlook for the rest of the NHL playoffs is bright
with a roster just two years removed from their Stanley Cup championship
By beating the Minnesota Wild in six games
winning the last three by one-goal margins with two of those including the closeout on the road
the Golden Knights became the first Western Conference team to reach the second round
Over the years you learn not to get too shaken up early in the series,” said defenseman Shea Theodore
one of three players remaining from the 2017-18 inaugural team
Theodore scored an early power-play goal in the Game 6 clincher on Thursday night
his second score in three games after going scoreless in the first three
Jack Eichel and Mark Stone each had a goal and an assist in Game 6 and combined for nine points in the last three games after getting shut out in the first three
Goaltender Adin Hill gave up 10 goals on 57 shots over the first three games
He let in only seven goals on 85 shots over the last three
It just took some of those guys a little longer,” said coach Bruce Cassidy
was limited by a bruising Wild team that refused to cede the middle of the ice
They put on a clinic in Game 6 with one crucial play
when Stone shrewdly zipped a long pass out of the zone for a streaking Eichel
The puck eluded the stick of diving Wild star Kirill Kaprizov in his desperation try to stop the breakaway
which Eichel finished with a wrist shot past goalie Filip Gustavsson’s glove
and he can shut down almost any player in the league
and the way he’s proven how clutch of a player he is is truly special.”
Cassidy reunited Eichel and Stone after a shuffle for Game 4 split them up. With Pavel Dorofeyev out with an injury
William Karlsson joined them on the first line for Game 6
I felt more confident in our group as weird as that is,” defenseman Brayden McNabb said
Kaprizov and Matt Boldy were the standouts for the Wild
They were instrumental in the 2-1 lead they had after a second straight 5-2 win
But neither was able to generate much on Thursday
and he certainly doesn’t want to hear how someone is outplaying him,” Cassidy said
McNabb and Theodore — not to mention Golden Knights fans — have enjoyed quite the run of success since arriving for the debut season in the desert
and one more advancement this spring would give them a fifth trip to the semifinals
in their debut in 2018 and in 2023 when they won it all

As an empirical economist, Schultz visited farms when he traveled to gain a better understanding of agricultural economics. After World War II
he met an elderly and apparently poor farm couple who seemed quite content with their life
They answered that they were not poor; earnings from their farm had allowed them to send four children to college
and they believed that education would enhance their children’s productivity and
That conversation led Schultz to formulate his concept of human capital
which he concluded could be studied by using the same terms applied to nonhuman capital
could be expressed in the form of productive knowledge
Among his publications were Agriculture in an Unstable Economy (1945)
and Investing in People: The Economics of Population Quality (1981)

2001. Theodore was the youngest of four boys born into the loving home of Doyle and Lisa (Kinney) Fox. He died tragically in the early hours of December 12
at the age of 23. He was baptized and confirmed in the Catholic Faith at Sts
Philip & James Catholic Church in Grand Mound
Theodore graduated in 2020 from Central DeWitt Community High School
He was proud of the work he did for Quint City Stone Center in Davenport

Theodore lived a tremendous life. Having entered into a loud
chaotic family of three older brothers and countless cousins
Theodore didn’t need to go far for entertainment
and wrestling. Instead of adding to the raucous
Theodore was often quiet and reserved. He liked being friendly and getting to know people
but he wasn’t going to talk someone’s ear off. One of his greatest qualities was his openness to everyone. He didn’t care who people voted for
he just accepted everyone for who they were. Along with being a loyal son
Theodore was also a wonderful father to his son
you would find his handwritten note with this question
“How can I be of service to God today?” This was something he reflected on
but his final wish would be for you to ponder it for yourself
“How can I be of service to God today?”
and his son’s mother Brianna Kent; nieces and nephews
He is welcomed into the next life by his grandparents
Philip and James Catholic Church in Grand Mound
Burial will be at Elmwood Cemetery in DeWitt
The family wishes to thank anyone who showed Theo loving compassion throughout his short journey with us

Theodore Rex Grace was born on February 27
It is with heavy hearts that we announce his passing on March 26
Theodore was blessed to live his last three and a half years just three minutes away from his daughter
where they were able to make many happy and sad memories together
and always willing to share his beliefs with anyone who would listen
his faith remained a cornerstone of his life
He now rests peacefully and is so happy to be reunited with his beloved wife of 65 years
Their bond was one of unwavering commitment
Theodore had three sisters: Donna Grace Harper
two of whom—Cheryl and Gina—survive him
They lovingly called their big brother “Bubble” because
“brother” was much too difficult to pronounce
He leaves behind many who will miss him deeply
and his four grandsons: Drake Cameron Dollison
An intimate service will be held on Saturday
we take comfort in knowing he has found peace in the presence of the Lord

Since Trump returned to the White House, he has talked with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, met twice with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and made frequent public comments on the war
How does Trump’s mediation effort stack up historically? I’m a scholar of the presidency
and while we don’t yet know the outcome of the Trump-led negotiations
we do know one thing: He’s not conducting them in the ways presidents – including Trump himself – have conducted them in the past
There are several examples of presidents who attempted to play a mediating role in foreign conflicts
Theodore Roosevelt: Roosevelt won a Nobel Peace Prize for his contributions to ending the 1904-05 Russo-Japanese War, fought over control of Manchuria and Sakhalin Island. Roosevelt had been asked to mediate by Japan, and Russia agreed. In many ways, this episode marked the beginning of the role of the U.S. president as a world leader
Jimmy Carter: Carter’s greatest presidential success arguably came in the Camp David Accords, the framework for peace negotiated in 1978 between Israel and Egypt after decades of conflict. Carter did not win a Nobel Prize for his accomplishment, but Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin did
Bill Clinton: Clinton made two ambitious attempts to broker peace between old adversaries
Clinton’s envoy, former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell, mediated an accord between the British government, the Republic of Ireland and the warring factions in Northern Ireland that was signed on Good Friday 1998
Dealing with a third situation – the wars set off by the disintegration of Yugoslavia– the Clinton administration also obtained an agreement over Bosnia in the 1995 Dayton Accords when the parties were sufficiently exhausted
attacks on Israel by Hamas may have been an attempt to stop subsequent efforts to extend the Abraham Accords to Saudi Arabia.)
Although all of these examples involved presidential leadership and involvement
Roosevelt never attended the peace negotiations over the Russo-Japanese War in Portsmouth, but he actively offered proposals through intermediaries before and during the conference
The final stages of negotiation were held on his yacht
Carter’s breakthrough came when he engaged in intense personal diplomacy at Camp David, where he, Sadat and Begin were sequestered for 13 days. To complete the deal, Carter had to shuffle back and forth between the principals and at one point had to make a frantic appeal to Sadat not to leave
Clinton’s unsuccessful efforts to broker an agreement between Arafat and a succession of Israeli prime ministers extended over the duration of his two-term presidency and frequently involved personal meetings and exchanges
On the other hand, Clinton’s involvement in the Northern Ireland resolution did not primarily come in the form of personal diplomacy at the end of the process. Rather, he set the conditions for a settlement earlier when he approved a visa for Irish Republican leader Gerry Adams to enter the U.S.
against the wishes of Britain and Clinton’s own advisers
When Clinton went to Belfast for a Christmas tree lighting in 1995, he brought together Catholic leaders committed to the unification of Ireland and Protestant leaders loyal to Britain
First lady Hillary Clinton also contributed by meeting with Irish women’s organizations on both sides
In contrast, in the Dayton process Clinton was later portrayed by chief negotiator Richard Holbrooke as essentially disengaged
where sensitive issues of land possession were involved
many of the negotiations benefited from privacy in the process
Second, successful mediations came most often when the U.S. was neutral, such as in the Portsmouth negotiations, or friendly toward both parties to some degree, such as with the Camp David, Good Friday and Abraham negotiations. Dayton was the exception in that the U.S
This is a highly controversial and risky strategy that has damaged relations with U.S. allies and cost the U.S. moral capital in pursuit of an uncertain peace
Whatever success Trump ultimately achieves
which has been pursued over a period of six months so far
has been more difficult than he anticipated

As we face a world shaped by climate change
we have to work in community to reimagine the future
the best thing you can do is the right thing
and the worst thing you can do is nothing." - Theodore Roosevelt
because we don’t know the exact details of how changes will play out
parks are embracing new management strategies
we’re responding by preparing the land and wildlife to resist the impacts of climate change
we’re working to keep ecosystems and species as resilient as possible
Resilience is crucial for climate change—the more resilient a species or ecosystem can be
the better equipped it is to survive new and changing conditions
Here are some ways we’re working toward resilience:
The National Park Service is reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and making a more eco-friendly park experience for visitors. The Green Parks Plan sets out ambitious goals for all parks nationwide to reduce their ecological impact and fight climate change
Some highlights from the Green Parks Plan:
All parks will achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045
75% of trash in parks will be diverted to recycling or compost by 2030
Parks will make sure all eligible government cars are zero-emissions
Parks will talk to visitors and the public about sustainability and climate change
Check out these sustainability projects at some parks nearby
Everyone can make a difference in our response to climate change
Is there a connection between those things and climate action
There are lots of things you can do at home to make your life more climate-friendly. Check out the NPS’ guidance for conservation at home
But you can also make a big difference by working with other people
Talk to your friends and family about climate change and how it will affect your community
it helps to connect with other people who care
and share your opinions about climate change with your representatives
Volunteer with local ecological groups—or with National Parks like Theodore Roosevelt
Any work that helps ecosystems also helps fight climate change
"...and to lose the chance to see frigatebirds soaring in circles above the storm
or a file of pelicans winging their way homeward across the crimson afterglow of the sunset...—why
this loss is like the loss of a gallery of the masterpieces of the artists of old time." - Theodore Roosevelt
Climate change is reshaping the world as we know it—and changes will continue to come
We know a lot about what has already changed
and we can make scientific predictions about what’s likely going to happen in the future
Some changes are going to happen no matter what
because of the impacts that people have already had
But we can still make a big difference in the future of climate change: if we reduce our greenhouse gas emissions now
we can delay or prevent the worst of the impacts
Between 1895 and 2015, North Dakota warmed the most out of the lower 48 states [2]
Scientists measure warming by averaging all the temperatures in a year. Then, they can compare that average to the average temperatures in other years. That way, we can see how temperatures are changing on a broad scale. In North Dakota, average yearly temperatures got about 2°F warmer between 1900 and 2000 [2]
And when we look at just wintertime temperatures, they’ve warmed even more. Between 1900 and 2000, wintertime temperatures increased around 3.3°F [2]
These might sound like small changes, but they have a huge impact. Keep in mind that there’s a difference between climate and weather
It's like with the human body—the difference between feeling fine and having a fever is only a few degrees
Science shows that climate change will continue to shape North Dakota in the future
Scientific models can tell us a lot about what kinds of climate change impacts we’re likely to see in the future
We can’t predict exactly how specific impacts will play out
We also know that the future depends on us
If people reduce our greenhouse gas emissions now
temperatures at Theodore Roosevelt will keep going up
If people don’t reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, average temperatures could go up by 10.2°F by the year 2100 (compared to before 2000) [3]
But if we do reduce our emissions, we can limit that change to only 5.9°F by 2100 [3]
but it’s much less than if we don’t take action
Warming temperatures also mean more days with very hot temperatures
That will continue to change the rhythm of life in North Dakota for humans and wildlife alike – strategies that have kept species alive for thousands of years might not work anymore because temperatures aren’t the same as they used to be
We don’t know for sure whether climate change will make the park have more or less precipitation
But we do know that there will be changes in how that precipitation falls
There will also probably be more precipitation falling as rain
because there will be fewer days below freezing
More rain means more water enters riverways during rainstorms
rather than getting stored as snowpack and released over time
Precipitation getting more variable and intense has other consequences
especially combined with hotter temperatures
droughts in North Dakota will probably get more common and more intense
Hotter and drier conditions also make unplanned wildfires more likely to happen—and more likely to be bigger. Scientists project that climate change will make fires up to six times more frequent in the plains of North Dakota, Montana, and other nearby states [1]
Because precipitation will fall more intensely
and more of it will be rain (rather than snow)
there will probably be lots of water entering rivers all at once
Climate change is impacting iconic species
They're beloved by humans and they play an important role in their ecosystem
Many other species rely on bison to create good habitat
making them crucial for biodiversity and resilience
bison are working with us to fight climate change
But they’re also impacted by it. Warming temperatures and rising CO2 levels might affect the types of plants that are available for bison to eat. With climate change, it’s possible that the most nutritious grasses will become less common, so bison would have to eat more of other types of plants [6]
most bison are fenced within a boundary—including at Theodore Roosevelt
they can’t adapt to changing conditions as well
They will have to rely on the food that’s available within the boundaries of the park
even if climate change makes what’s available less nutritious
People have played a role in bison’s lives for thousands of years—including Indigenous stewardship
near-eradication by Europeans in the 19th century
but it can teach us a lot about how we can live in harmony with the bison—especially as climate change reshapes the world as we know it
Because of climate change, the kinds of ticks in the park are changing. In the past, there have been ticks in Theodore Roosevelt, but not blacklegged ticks, also known as deer ticks—which are the kind that carry Lyme disease. Recently, though, park staff have found evidence of blacklegged ticks in the park. And CDC data shows that deer ticks are spreading across the country
This happens because warming temperatures and changing precipitation patterns are making more places good habitat for deer ticks
they’re active for more of the year because of warming temperatures
So next time you’re in the park, keep an eye out for ticks! You can find more information on ticks and tick-borne diseases from the CDC
The park is home to a beautiful cottonwood forest—which includes the oldest known plains cottonwood tree
The forest provides important habitat for many kinds of species
keeping the park’s ecosystems diverse and resilient
One way that the cottonwood forest is affected by climate change is through the Little Missouri river
and they’ve developed a life pattern that depends on the river’s regular ebb and flow
Cottonwood seedlings sprout on newly cleared wet ground
But climate change is changing the way the river moves
When the river's flows are lower—as happens with rising temperatures and more droughts—fewer new cottonwoods sprout
The trees also grow more in wet years than dry years. Droughts can even affect the trees so much that they can die in harsh summer droughts. With climate change, there will likely be more dry periods and more extreme droughts, putting cottonwood trees—and the future of the forest—more at risk [5]
The park’s Maltese Cross Cabin tells part of the story of Theodore Roosevelt’s time in the Dakota Badlands
The historic buildings at Peaceful Valley Ranch also tell of the ranching period in the park
and are part of the history of the park service
These buildings are old and have already been weathered over time
Climate change could speed up that degradation
When temperatures move from very hot to very cold over a short period of time
and floods can cause a lot of damage at once
Climate change could also make pests like termites more common in this area
Theodore Roosevelt National Park is in the Bakken rock foundation, which has been a hotspot for oil and gas extraction. Oil wells and pipelines surround all three of Theodore Roosevelt National Park's units [7]
like the oil and gas extracted near the park
we emit the greenhouse gases that make climate change happen
Even the extraction itself has a huge carbon footprint. In 2016, scientists estimated that energy development in the Bakken region releases almost 15 metric tons of the greenhouse gas methane every hour [8]. To release that much greenhouse gas, you’d have to drive a gas-powered car for more than 90 years [9].
People need energy, but we have to balance that need with the pressures of a changing climate.

the first European sighting of the canyon wasn’t until 1540
by members of an expedition headed by the Spanish explorer Francisco Vasquez de Coronado
Because of its remote and inaccessible location
several centuries passed before North American settlers really explored the canyon
geologist John Wesley Powell led a group of 10 men in the first difficult journey down the rapids of the Colorado River and along the length of the 277-mile gorge in four rowboats
Roosevelt made environmental conservation a major part of his presidency
After establishing the National Wildlife Refuge to protect the country’s animals
Roosevelt turned his attention to federal regulation of public lands
Though a region could be given national park status—indicating that all private development on that land was illegal—only by an act of Congress
Roosevelt cut down on red tape by beginning a new presidential practice of granting a similar “national monument” designation to some of the West’s greatest treasures
Explore the geological history of the Grand Canyon
one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World
Roosevelt exercised this right to make more than 800,000 acres of the Grand Canyon area into a national monument
“Let this great wonder of nature remain as it now is,” he declared
But what you can do is keep it for your children
as the one great sight which every American should see.”

Shea Theodore returned for the Golden Knights at the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday
The defenseman hadn't played since he sustained an upper-body injury at the 4 Nations Face-Off on Feb
looks good," Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy said
"Part of [his] game we missed the most was neutral zone transition breakouts
Theodore, who has 48 points (seven goals, 41 assists) in 55 games while averaging 22:03 of ice time, resumed skating March 19. He played on a defense pair with Brayden McNabb
but I feel good and hopefully feel stronger
I'm feeling fresh resting my legs a little bit over the past couple of weeks
so I just (want to bring) a little bit of energy."
Tomas Hertl did not make the three-game road trip after the forward suatained an upper-body injury during a 4-2 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday
"Tomas went into the end boards real hard after the breakaway," general manager Kelly McCrimmon said on the Vegas Insider Show on Monday
"I think he made an attempt at the rebound before being hit into the boards
I think he got some done [Monday] and I think some more [Tuesday] to determine exactly what we're dealing with
Hertl leads the Golden Knights with 31 goals and is third with 59 points in 70 games this season
"You can’t just plug someone in there and expect them to be Tomas," Cassidy said
We've got five guys in the lineup regularly that can play center
…We'll put Nic Roy there with (Pavel) Dorofeyev and (Brandon) Saad (tonight)
I think Nic’s turned the corner a little bit offensively
He’s a big body as well; plays a little bit like Tomas
Vegas (42-20-8) is first in the Pacific Division
five points ahead of the Los Angeles Kings and Edmonton Oilers

"It’s good for the morale of the team to have him around," Bruins coach Joe Sacco said
"He’s progressing the way he should be right now
He’s not pushing himself any more than he has to
When he’s available he’ll be in the lineup
Boston (30-33-9) has lost six in a row (0-5-1)
including 7-2 at the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday

Petr Mrazek is out with an undisclosed injury and did not play at the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday
The goalie left at 1:38 of the first period in the Red Wings' 5-1 win against the Utah Hockey Club on Monday with an undisclosed injury after making one save. Alex Lyon replaced him and stopped 16 of 17 shots
"He won't be available for us the rest of this trip
obviously," Detroit coach Todd McLellan said after the game
We've got the other two that we've got to play
who was acquired in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks on March 8
is 2-2-0 with a 2.49 goals-against average and .902 save percentage in five games with the Red Wings
Lyon is 12-8-1 with a 2.70 GAA and .901 save percentage in 26 games (22 starts)

Josh Norris did not play against his former team
on Tuesday because of a middle-body injury
The injury is something the center, who was acquired by Buffalo from Ottawa with defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker before the NHL Trade Deadline on March 7 for center Dylan Cozens, defenseman Dennis Gilbert and a second-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft
has been "dealing with throughout the year and kind of reaggravated it."
Tuesday was the sixth straight game he's missed
He traveled with the Sabres on their four-game road trip last week but has not practiced with the team
Norris said it was reaggravated over an accumulation of games
but it was in a 7-3 loss to the Red Wings on March 12 when it felt the worst

He was injured in the first period a 5-3 win against the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday
Gabriel Vilardi is week to week for the Jets with an upper-body injury
Coach Scott Arniel said it was not an ear injury after a puck struck the forward i in a 5-3 loss to the Sabres on Sunday
Vilardi is third on the Jets in goals (27) and points (61) in an NHL career-high 71 games this season

you established the National Park System with John Muir
President who preserved nature for all time have to do with art
That’s because painting taught you how to observe and deeply respect wilderness
the outdoors was no longer a playground at your disposal
Making works of art preceded your environmental activism
We have big decisions to make this Tuesday concerning Roaring Fork Valley political leadership
but that economy affects our entire valley
I turn again to our real estate transfer tax for the arts
The public has voted four times to renew this tax
It’s written in law that it goes to buildings
But tracking the spending since 2021 — perhaps 93% of nearly $40 million — in so-called public “arts funding” has been spent on bank deposits
I have actively pursued decades-long-relationships with two of the Aspen City Council’s old guard
and they have not shifted their positions on RETT spending
We may need “out with the old — in with the new” and trusting new representation to uphold the voting will of residents
maybe we need an outside city audit by a firm like Earth Law
Can you give advice on how to bust up the leaders who seem set on absconding with arts funding
$50,000 went to art and $50,000 to structures and admin
according to figures provided by a former Aspen finance director
$11.5 million was collected and less than 1% went to “art.” But no operating budget may have been fully funded for applicants
which means possibly no funds went to making art
I met with a city official then and asked “Why?”
we’d be covered.” Is that what voters want
If a local artist uses the Wheeler or the Red Brick Center
Many would like $20 million of the $54 million that’s now held in the “Wheeler Fund” (That name was stamped on the RETT without voter approval) to go to a valley-wide arts endowment distributed yearly by arts professionals
how can we respect our glorious natural world in the RFV if we don’t make art
the John Denver Sanctuary is under consideration for major development by a relentless developer — a theatre company
Can’t playwriting and acting also guide us to honor nature
John was a singer and musician whose music burst out when he moved to the Rockies
you may not know that I co-founded the Sarah Pletts Dance Theatre in 1985 with the late Janet Garwood
We single-handedly stopped Aspen city planners — twice — from constructing condos and two concrete parking garages on the Roaring Fork River from Mill Street to Neale Avenue
And we started the Recycling Center with artist Christine Anderson and young artists exhibiting recycled sculptures in the former Aspen Art Museum

-- Jack Eichel scored his first goal of the series to give the Vegas the lead late in the second period
and Adin Hill held it up on a 29-save night to spur the Golden Knights onto the second round with a 3-2 victory in Game 6 that ousted the Minnesota Wild on Thursday
Shea Theodore scored first and Mark Stone scored last for Vegas
which will face the Edmonton Oilers in the second round
The Oilers defeated the Los Angeles Kings on their home ice later on Thursday
Minnesota has lost nine consecutive series in the NHL playoffs and last made it out of the first round 10 years ago
including a wraparound with 3:27 left that came 31 seconds after Stone had just given the Golden Knights a two-goal lead
who set up Eichel with a long pass out of the zone that was inches out of reach of the stick of Kirill Kaprizov after he dived to try to prevent the breakaway
Neither Stone nor Eichel recorded a single point in the first three games
Hartman tied the game for the Wild with 4 seconds left in the first period
a goal safe from replay review unlike his go-ahead score in Game 5 with 1:15 remaining in regulation that was revoked for an offside call after Vegas challenged
The Wild were unshaken by the consecutive overtime losses that erased their 2-1 lead
confident they measured up to the deeper Golden Knights and could still take the series
after Marco Rossi got the dreaded double minor penalty for high-sticking Brayden McNabb with just 2:27 elapsed in the game
Theodore wristed in a shot from the high slot with Stone and Tomas Hertl screening Wild goalie Filip Gustavsson
immediately quieting the crowd near the end of the first power play
who was forced out of Game 5 after two periods due to an illness
