Column: With warmer weather, Joshua Tree National Park beckons again

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 01:51:44 GMT

The weather was so unsettled in March that I postponed my annual trip to Joshua Tree, where it was even colder than it was here. Rather than travel, my primary birthday-month activities were 1) shivering and 2) wringing out my socks.With the forecast calling for a sunny and warm Easter weekend, though, the timing felt right. I booked a cheap motel and headed east in my trusty Fiat for my first overnight trip in months. Gangway!This was my third visit to Joshua Tree. I like it.For starters, the landscape is compelling, especially in the national park, which is primarily dirt, rocks and scrubby plants, including picturesque Joshua trees.More on Joshua TreeBirthday road trip to Joshua Tree is a gasA Fiat must really be foreign in Joshua TreeJoshua Tree, a desert trip worth takingIn the commercial districts of Joshua Tree and its neighboring communities, quirky shops and galleries add flavor, and many restaurants have eclectic fare.

Wild taking note of Ryan Suter’s shots on Kirill Kaprizov: ‘I think it’s going to fire him up’

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 01:51:44 GMT

DALLAS — Dean Evason made himself very clear when asked how the Wild will balance being disciplined with making sure they don’t get pushed around by the Dallas Stars.“We don’t get pushed around,” the Wild coach said. “I’m not worried about that.”In other words, if things get out of hand in the first-round playoff series, the Wild have more than enough physicality to hold their own. Whether it’s Marcus Foligno, Ryan Reaves or Brandon Duhaime, among a handful of others, there is no shortage of players willing to respond if the moment calls for it.“When push comes to shove, we’ll stand up,” Evason said before adding an important caveat. “We’ve got to stay on that line.”That’s the name of the game in the NHL playoffs. You have to stay disciplined. You can’t do something retaliatory that runs the risk of giving the opposing team the upper hand. The margin for error is so minuscule at this point that sitting for...

Reaction to Native American mascot ban

ALBANY, N.Y. (WTEN) -- Now that the Native American school mascot ban has been made official by the Board of Regents, over 100 schools across New York will need to change their school mascots or team name. "Our identity is being used predominantly by non-Native people for their amusement and entertainment and oftentimes it's just terribly inaccurate," said John Kane, Native activist and NYSED Indigenous Mascot Advisory Council member. Cambridge school board files appeal to keep mascot Kane said the goal for schools across the state is to come up with an action plan by the end of this school year and actually eliminate any Native American mascots or team names by the end of next school year. When the directive was first issued, some schools challenged it, which is why Kane said the mandate is necessary. "Between you and me, I think there were schools that were, hoping that this would come… because it becomes very tumultuous, and there’s a lot of anger that gets expressed between t...
