Stephen Greene. “Just like you know the thing, fitting in and she internalize a lot. We are in the process of getting her some counseling.” “If you find my daughter or see my daughter, or if you have my daughter, could you please either contact me or take her to the sheriff’s department. It’s not right to keep her,” said her mother Shakira Greene. Gabrielle’s parents say their daughter is in crisis and needs help. “And if Gabrielle needs to hear anything, she needs to know that I am not angry with her,” Shakira Greene said.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — This week’s gripping testimony to Congress about threats to local election officials after the 2020 presidential election had a rapt audience far beyond Washington — secretaries of state and election clerks across the U.S who said the stories could easily have been their own. Death threats, harassment and unfounded accusations have driven local election officials from their jobs, unprecedented attacks that many say threaten not just themselves but American democracy itself. A day after the local election office in Medford, Oregon, certified the results from the 2020 election, workers found a message spray-painted on their parking lot: "Vote Don’t Work. Next Time Bullets.” “We spent the rest of the day pretty much in shock that this had happened here,” Jackson County Clerk Chris Walker testified during a hearing earlier this year on state legislation to protect election workers. “The noise happening around the country had hit home.” At Tuesday’s hearing of … [Read more...] about Threats testimony rings familiar for election workers

Cale Makar and the Colorado Avalanche weren’t interested in glancing back at the simmering controversy over the way Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals ended in overtime Wednesday night. Of way more importance was looking ahead to this: A chance to clinch the franchise’s first title since 2001. In front of their home fans, too, where ticket prices have soared to more than $1,300 for an upper-level seat. On Friday night in Game 5, Colorado has a chance to not only dethrone two-time defending champion Tampa Bay, but possibly jump-start its own dynasty behind a core of young, dynamic players like Makar. “It’s going to be the toughest one that we’ve had so far,” said Makar, whose team leads 3-1 in the best-of-seven series and boasts a 3-1 mark in close-out games this postseason. “We have to expect them to bring obviously everything they have at us because it’s do-or-die. We just have to be ready.“ The Lightning were unhappy with how things ended in overtime on Wednesday. Nazem Kadri, … [Read more...] about NHL: Avalanche within reach of Stanley Cup title

Behind a goal and an assist from Nathan MacKinnon, the Avalanche won the Stanley Cup for the third time in franchise history and first in more than two decades by beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 in Game 6 of the Finals on Sunday night. It’s the first title for this core group led by MacKinnon, captain Gabriel Landeskog, Mikko Rantanen and Cale Makar and it follows years of playoff disappointment. The Avalanche lost in the second round each of the previous three seasons after getting knocked out in the first round in 2018. With a mix of speed, high-end talent and the experiences gained from those defeats, Colorado broke through this time — earning every bit of the championship by knocking off the team that hoisted the Cup the past two years. … [Read more...] about Colorado Avalanche top Tampa Bay Lightning to win Stanley Cup

After years of playoff disappointments, the Colorado Avalanche are back atop hockey’s mountain after dethroning the two-time defending champions. Behind a goal and an assist from MacKinnon, the Avalanche won the Stanley Cup for the third time in franchise history and first in more than two decades by beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 in Game 6 of the final Sunday night. “It’s just been building over time,” playoff MVP-winning defenseman Cale Makar said about the Avalanche’s journey. "I’ve been here only three years. A couple of tough exits in the playoffs. It was just all leading up to this.” … [Read more...] about Avalanche dethrone Lightning to win Stanley Cup for 3rd time

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 6 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — In a copycat league known for following the Stanley Cup champions, Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog paused when asked what other teams could do to emulate their success. With a grin, Landeskog replied: “Find a Cale Makar somewhere.” Playoff MVP Cale Makar was a big part of Colorado’s title run from the blue line, but more than anything else the Avalanche showed the value of speed and skill in the NHL as hockey moves dramatically to prioritize those elements in the name of scoring. The Avalanche and the two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning, who fell two wins short of a threepeat, also provided evidence that it’s worth taking risks at the trade deadline for the right fits. Colorado traded its top two prospects and a couple of second-round picks to acquire forward Artturi Lehkonen and defenseman Josh Manson, along with trades … [Read more...] about Avalanche, Lightning show importance of making smart trades
