I grew up in the shopping centers of the San Gabriel Valley, their bright lights and maze-like parking lots serving as the colorful backdrop of my Chinese American childhood. My mother once chased an unruly grocery cart that held me in its front basket as it rolled through the parking lot of the Victorian-looking strip mall at the corner of San Gabriel Boulevard and New Avenue. I remember racing my younger sister up and down the stairs of the Atlantic Place Shopping Center while we waited for a table at my grandmother’s favorite dim sum restaurant. There were countless days spent as a child under the care of my uncle and grandmother, who brought us along to three, sometimes four strip malls in a day to find the various ingredients needed for that evening’s dinner, beauty products, the Hello Kitty pencil box I desperately needed and egg tarts.

The Season 2 premiere begins with the couple separated Cartwright weighing a reconciliation as she co-parents their son from a rental home But when Taylor allegedly flipped a coffee table after seeing a video Cartwright sent another man “that completely changed everything," she said in the premiere earlier this month That Taylor spent 30 days in an in-patient facility last year should not be overlooked It's a very hopeful sign that someone is getting help But people with emotional dysregulation can also use therapy to mask their behaviors "It's a huge first step to start therapy," says Pickell therapy can be used as a way to shield or win arguments I've seen people on the receiving end of that behavior and they describe their partners weaponizing the fact 'they're working on themselves' to deflect from the impact they're still having." Even though Taylor is not physically present with Cartwright his persistent messages serve as a venue of emotional pressure Elsewhere in reality TV: 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' star speaks out on childhood sexual abuse "The Valley" also shows how a friend group can be held accountable for harmful relationships Some of the men in the friend group continue to text Taylor or attend his promotional events While on the surface that may seen innocuous it's important for any friend group to pay attention to one another "The behavior that is showing outside of the relationship is likely the tip of the iceberg," she says But it's up to the friend group to declare "zero tolerance" very clearly for emotionally distressing behavior This could look like calling out someone or even taking the extreme measure of cutting them out of the group "If someone in your life is still harming you you are allowed to set boundaries," Pickell says but you can't be contacting me at this time.'" In case you missed: 'Coercive control' is the phrase you won't hear about at the Diddy trial. Why it's still important. The Federal Aviation Administration said the plane was a Vans RV-10, a fixed-wing single-engine aircraft with four seats that is sold in kit form and typically home-built. The plane departed from William J. Fox Airfield in Lancaster and was traveling to Camarillo Airport when it crashed in Simi Valley, according to the FAA. The National Transportation Safety Board said the pilot and one passenger were killed as well as a canine that was in the plane. The identities of the victims had not been released as of Sunday afternoon. The accident happened around 2 p.m. in the 200 block of High Meadow Street in the Wood Ranch area of Simi Valley. The FAA and NTSB are investigating. The plane crashed in the backyard and dining room of Arman and Armineh Hovakemian. Arman Hovakemian said he was doing yardwork when he noticed the plane above, circling lower and lower in the hillside neighborhood. Fearful that the plane was spiraling toward his home, he ran inside to get his wife and their Pomeranian, Koko. A loud bang followed and the fuselage landed where he had stood in the yard, he said. Firefighters work at the site of the plane crash. (Mark J. Terrill / Associated Press) The smell of gas filled the air and the side of their home caught fire, he said, prompting the couple to flee as neighbors called 911. “I’m overwhelmed,” Arman Hovakemian said, standing in the street as dozens of firefighters and police officers surrounded his home. A light rain misted the street as neighbors watched a firetruck with a ladder hoisted over the Hovakemians’ residence. “I’m numb. It hasn’t sunk in yet,” he said. “We’re fortunate we were able to get out.” The plane’s movements just before the crash alarmed some residents. In security video taken by a neighbor that was viewed by The Times, the craft can be heard circling the neighborhood for nearly three minutes and flying close to homes at points. In another video, the plane can be seen shooting straight up into the clouds before dropping down again. The other home damaged by the plane belongs to P.J. Van Kralingen and his wife, Iris. The couple were at the Getty Center when they got a text about the crash. Two of their three dogs somehow escaped the home during the incident and are still missing, said P.J. Van Kralingen, standing in the street. Still, he expressed gratitude that no one was home at the time. The plane shattered windows in their family room, which is where his wife’s parents, who live with the couple, usually sit. “It’s a little bit unsettling,” he said. He said officials told him he couldn’t enter the home for at least 24 hours because NTSB needed to come to the site. NTSB was at the scene Sunday removing wreckage. Officials expect the full investigation into the accident to take between 12 and 18 months. Times staff writer Queenie Wong contributed to this report.

Among other noteworthy elements is that multiple buildings along 109th Street are owned by retired boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather. For years, rat sightings within the 10025 ZIP code have been among the highest in the city according to data from the city’s 311 call service and 108th and 109th streets between Broadway and Amsterdam have consistently been pointed to as particular problem areas West Side Rag reported last month on the extension of a new high-tech trash bin pilot program spearheaded by City Councilmember Shaun Abreu that saw rat sightings drop by 60 percent in areas where the bins were deployed But 108th and 109th streets fall just outside of where the containers will be installed within Community District 9 You can read more — HERE.

This is the second time I am posting this but there is a club in Brooklyn called RATS a group of terrier owners who literally go rat hunting The residents of the 10025 neighborhood should coordinate with them When my building was undergoing renovations during the pandemic we had an invasion of mice In fact she once got out into the hallway and caught a mouse a human-created problem and the solution is to terrorize the rats I love that the Post called it a “ritzy” block Can peppermint bushes be planted to deter rodents I think it’s worth a try and it provides a nice aroma to the area The Chase clock on Broadway and West 73rd also does not work That pleases many of those on the UWS that are stuck in time But I’ll bet you’re quite adamant that when 311 rat calls increase Is this the same Chase that took the long time outdoor clock away from their bank on w 90th st and B’way several years back PLEASE PLEASE bring those big trash containers to 108th Street and 109th Streets My building has 8 plastics bins for 40+ units and pick up twice a week The buildings do not manage their trash properly because trash volumes have increased substantially with Amazon Also they don’t want to pay for full-time porters The rats immediately chewed through new closed top plastic bins and now gleefully dance on top of them under my neighbors windows I don’t want to get bit throwing my trash away Council Member Abrea hasn’t done anything meaningful after years of requests for help The city runs “tests” but no solutions have been brought to my neighborhood Tickets keep piling up on my landlord and are unpaid The screaming by pedestrians is not funny and reminds me about the filthiness of my street I guess no one will do anything about this until the plague 2.0 starts on the UWS This situation has made a 25+ year resident of 108th street unhinged For the next roundup – Gale Brewer’s district built exactly 0 (zero) units of affordable housing. https://citylimits.org/heres-where-affordable-housing-was-built-last-year-where-it-wasnt/ upgrading school conditions should be left to the dept Thanks for the terrific photo of the Tulip Festival This community garden and the volunteers who maintain it are near the top of the list of what makes the UWS great I think I was sitting on one of the benches when this photo was taken — and enjoying a scene that was full of people When I see one it usually is running as far from me as it can Why would one need to take an Uber to a subway because of rats who are equally afraid of humans as humans are of them © 2025 West Side Rag | All rights reserved © 2025 West Side Rag | All rights reserved FARGO — The Missouri Valley Football Conference not only named a new commissioner on Monday the league went a couple of steps farther in adding to its front office the commissioner of the Missouri Valley Conference — the non-football entity of the league — will take over for long-time MVFC commissioner Patty Viverito on July 1 Jackson has been the Missouri Valley commissioner since 2021 the MVFC named Josh Fenton as executive advisor for the league a move aimed at further allying the Summit League and MVFC Fenton will remain as commissioner of the Summit What it does is allow a single-sport league like the MVFC to take advantage of some of the operational resources of the Summit like marketing "A lot of the things we've seen in other conferences in terms of promoting the brand," said NDSU athletic director Matt Larsen "So I think being able to leverage some of those resources across both leagues I think will help us."

pored-over books in a delightful display of literary dishevelment curated by the environmentalist’s mother an antiques dealer and the late matriarch of a family rooted in the house for more than 70

planks that were spared in the two-year renovation he couldn’t figure out where the entrance was—a stone path didn’t lead to the formal front entry framed in Greek Revival trim typical of old Hudson Valley farmhouses The original living room fireplace from 1815 served as the altar when a renowned environmentalist—who grew up in the house—was married here Though it’s not the oldest hearth in the home (the dining room fireplace was built in the 1790s) it remains a meaningful symbol of continuity anchoring family gatherings past and present Restoring a clear sense of arrival—long muddled by too many doors and confusing paths—was a priority along with untangling awkward architectural flow resulting from a vortex of bathrooms and relocating the kitchen to frame sweeping views of the meadows and Catskills beyond Other additions—like a sunroom and rear porch—also capture this bucolic idyll And the library’s fathomless blue-black is an inky neutral with gravitas befitting the literary

Tusky Valley community in a crash on I-70 continues Tuesday Jacob McDonald’s trial began Monday in front of Licking County Court of Common Pleas Judge David Branstool Three students and three chaperones from Tusky Valley Middle-High School were killed in a five-vehicle crash in Licking County on Nov Chief Felony Division Prosecuting Attorney Clifford Murphy said McDonald was speeding and wasn’t watching the roadway “With his inattention for over 800 feet caused the death of six people and caused serious injuries to others who were on the bus,” said McDonald He also claimed that McDonald was on his phone because he was receiving a large amount of cell phone data at the time of the crash said there is no way to prove that the crash was his client’s fault Bridgon said the key point that was left out of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report is that there was a sudden stop The Pioneer Trails Charter Bus was transporting students to a school performance in Columbus when it was rear-ended by a semi driven by McDonald Three students on-board the bus were killed Troopers said the crash triggered a chain reaction including one transporting the three chaperones The chaperones killed in the crash have been identified as Dave Kennat and Shannon Wigfield (Language arts teacher Buckeye Career Center) He was one of the first law enforcement officers on scene of the fiery bus crash “I looked to the east and saw a mushroom cloud of smoke,” said Trooper Grim He helped dozens of student and victims that fateful day Another key witness to take the stand was Scott Wolverton He was driving the red SUV in front of the charter bus Wolverton described how the impact of the crash behind him pushed the bus into his car PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Semi truck driver

Ohio crash: What we know about the charter bus, truck collision leaving 6 dead, 18 injured meaning Licking County Common Pleas Judge David Branstool began hearing testimony and evidence in the trial that is expected to last several days Licking County Chief Felony Prosecutor Cliff Murphy said during his opening statement that his office believes McDonald was looking at his phone before speeding and crashing into the SUV and bus According to a National Transportation Safety Board report McDonald traveled at 74.7 mph about one minute before the crash The speed limit where the crash happened is 70 mph The report also stated that about 10 minutes before the crash McDonald's phone data usage peaked at 39.8 megabytes per minute According to a phone company cited in the report streaming high-definition video uses 41.7 megabytes of data per minute McDonald's phone was destroyed in the fire after the crash investigators couldn’t determine whether a data transfer began through an automatic phone or application update or if McDonald initiated it they only have time to look up partially and watch traffic,” Murphy said Murphy also said that traffic in front of McDonald slowed down before the crash and had not yet stopped “The defendant wasn’t watching the roadway,” Murphy said during opening statements “He was pulling a 50-feet trailer and a semi with over 24,000 pounds of batteries caused serious physical injuries to other individuals who were on the bus.”  “Nobody can tell you what the data meant,” Brigdon said “The claim of on-and-off is a made-up phenomenon.”  Brigdon also noted that McDonald had been flowing with traffic reacting to a sudden stop that the bus driver ahead of him initiated when he broke hard and that his average speed was 68.4 mph over a 35-mile stretch “This case should have never been brought in felony court,” Brigdon said Multiple witnesses spoke during the trial’s first day including some from Tuscarawas Valley Local Schools said

not come to a sudden stop before the crash She added that she thought vehicles ahead of them weren’t that close to the bus which she noticed sitting near the front of the vehicle and it felt like it came from the back,” Gensley said and I think there might have been a second slam from somewhere — I just don’t remember where it came from It kind of felt like it could have been from the back testified that she was traveling on the bus next to Gensley that day and felt the bus driver braked aggressively in front of traffic middle school band director at Tusky Valley Stephen Tripp testified that he looked up after noticing the bus braking hard but looked back down He began helping students evacuate the bus after the crash pushing seats that were pinned so they could escape ‘Don’t get back on there,’ but I went on anyway,” Tripp said ‘Is anyone still in here?’ I thought I heard something I pushed about halfway back and couldn't see anything “I remember coming back off the bus and I said ‘I think we still have kids trapped in there.’ I just remember two people shrugging — that’s kind of the image that stuck with me.” Witnesses capture aftermath of crashSeveral witnesses who testified Monday captured images following the crash including one of McDonald holding his arms up after exiting the truck and viewing the fire and debris who exited the right-hand lane moments before the truck hit the SUV and bus also testified that they saw the truck slam into the bus and jolt into the air like a rollercoaster responded to the scene and noted from the stand that there was no

campaigns Grass Valley is focused on helping the market understand the wide range of new technologies that made their debut or were on display there including a couple of developments in cameras and the LDX 100 platform which has a full-frame S35 global-shutter CMOS imager adds momentum to the industry-wide embrace of shallow-depth-of-field shooting It is designed to facilitate integration of shallow–depth-of-field shooting without compromise (a compact version is expected early in 2026) “We develop all our image sensors ourselves in our Breda facilities in the Netherlands,” explains Grass Valley Chief Product Officer Adam Marshall “so the new imager integrates totally within the LDX 100 series providing the same coloristic style and sharing the same Creative Grading shading platform It can connect to a GV XCU base station or leverage native IP with full ST 2110 or JPEG XS TR08 directly from the camera head.” Grass Valley’s Adam Marshall: “We’re seeing customers looking for smaller more cost-effective [production-switching] solutions that still have top capabilities.” Marshall notes that the integration is about more than removing the need for external cabling and offering a water-tight integration It also lessens engineering and equipment needs and improves the speed to air as well as the control of the image: “With 5G you can control it from anywhere over a 5G signal and start streaming straight back to AMPP [Grass Valley’s Agile Media Processions Platform] systems including remote camera shading and return program and tally.” along with the new K-Frame VXP Video Processing Frame “The new Karrera is available as a two- or three-stripe panel using the latest panel modules from the new Kayenne panel,” says Marshall “The VXP is a 5RU frame with 48×24 native UHD I/O support and also has all the same advanced technologies that you see on the bigger sibling switchers but at a lower price point and a mid-tier production size We’re seeing customers looking for smaller more cost-effective solutions that still have top capabilities with integrated HDR LUT conversion and native UHD I/O.” and the Maverik X AMPP-native production switcher is an example of the flexibility offered by a software-based production switcher that can be operated via either a touchscreen or a tactile hardware surface “Its flexibility matters because customers are ultimately migrating to software solutions in order to increase agility while lowering costs,” says Marshall noting features like hardware or software-based control surfaces “Their operators need familiar interfaces with a traditional surface or panel that can be customized however they want any joystick can do any function of any app That’s the most important thing: they design and configure it in the way that suits their operation.” combining high-end creative capabilities with a single-person user-friendly interface delivering the functionality of a traditional switcher in an intuitive design that empowers both creatives and operators “It brings top-tier production capabilities to a single-person UX operation where creative operators can build more content at a faster pace,” says Marshall “Media organizations today are trying to build and develop and ship more content cost-effectively They’re having to diversify and look at lower-tier productions and they can’t do that at scale with traditional large control rooms They need a newer way of producing content and solutions like this allow them to do that.” He notes that one of the key goals has been to build an open ecosystem that allows third parties to easily integrate and connect to AMPP Some of those are native to AMPP while others are connected services such as Layercake’s production-orchestration tools allowing a software-based production to be spun up at a moment’s notice “is that Ross Video are now part of the GV Alliance and users of Ross Video OverDrive can control Maverik X.” Grass Valley now has the ability to automatically log content allowing users to search for assets via such commands as “find a boat on a lake with the sun in the background.” “It’s about making your content more readily
