Bruins hit the skids in Columbus

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:31:51 GMT

The Bruins have suddenly found themselves at a fork in the road. And after their third straight ugly loss, just which way this season is going to go is suddenly debatable.Losing to the Red Wings at home the day after Thanksgiving could be a forgivable blip. Letting one get away from them against a good Ranger team in Madison Square Garden is at least understandable, if not ideal.But what happened Monday night in Columbus is downright concerning. The B’s got blown out at Nationwide Arena by a Blue Jackets team that had lost 16 of their first 22 games and, after a 5-2 loss. It was also the first time the B’s had allowed five or more goals since 2012.Once again, their best players have not played like it. Captain Brad Marchand was minus-3 and David Pastrnak was minus-2.We’ve seen the B’s play better than this, of course, and logic sas they can pull out of it. But at the moment, they’re a mess.For the third time in as many games, the B’s allowed the f...

Oceanside community debates short-term rental ordinance

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:31:51 GMT

OCEANSIDE, Calif. -- "A lack of enforcement across the board" is a complaint echoed by Oceanside residents during last week’s Oceanside Planning Commission meeting where they took up the city's short-term rental ordinance. Many residents who spoke said the ordinance needs to be more restrictive and better enforced, complaining about party houses causing noise, trash and parking issues -- especially in beachside neighborhoods. “The lack of enforcement goes to a lack of resources," said Dave Baxter who manages short-term rentals and is himself a long-term renter.He says one of the biggest issues with so many vacation rentals -- it's tough to find long-term housing.“There are too many. Where I live, half-a-mile that way, one block that way, four brand new places when I moved. ‘Oh, we're gonna get residents... we have this lawyer, we have finance guy.' They were so excited, all for vacation rentals within months. So yeah, there are too many,” Baxter said.  After listening to the sp...

B.C. mother, stepdad plead guilty to manslaughter in death of 6-year-old Dontay Lucas

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:31:51 GMT

PORT ALBERNI, B.C. — The mother and stepfather of six-year-old Dontay Lucas have pleaded guilty to his manslaughter, more than five years after the boy was found in medical distress in the woman’s home in Port Alberni, B.C. RCMP originally charged Rykel Frank — also known as Rykel Charleson — and Mitchell Frank with first-degree murder last year in relation to the boy’s March 2018 death. Dan McLaughlin of the BC Prosecution Service says the pair pleaded guilty to the lesser charge in a Port Alberni court on Monday.He says a sentencing hearing will be held on May 16 and 17. When RCMP announced the murder charges in May of 2022 they said it was a tragic investigation that affected many people, including Dontay’s classmates. Police said at the time it was a complex investigation, but wouldn’t say what led them to a charge of first-degree murder, which implies planning and intent. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 27, 2023. The Canadian P...

Keeler: Deion Sanders’ recruiting doublespeak has CU Buffs looking more like CU Bluffs

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:31:51 GMT

CU Bluffs or CU Buffs? If Deion Sanders ain’t careful, Ralphie’s gonna become college football’s version of the Dallas Cowboys. Eighty percent hat, 20 percent cattle.“There is definitely reason,” Brandon Huffman, 247Sports’ national recruiting editor, told me Monday, “to be concerned.”For all of Coach Prime’s sins as a hyperbolist, strategist and staff-builder, as a closer, as a pitch man? Nobody does it better.“We already know what’s gonna transpire,” Sanders said after a 4-8 season ended with a scrappy 23-17 loss at Utah. “You’re gonna be pleased with what’s coming. I promise you that.”Which makes it all the more curious that the viral CU recruiting headlines over the last 48 hours haven’t been about who’s coming … but who’s going.On Monday, the Buffs lost their top QB commitment from the Class of ’24, Danny O’Neil. The day before, they’d lost t...
