The southern appendage of Hudson Bay, James Bay – Weeneebeg (Western Cree)/Wiiniibek (Eastern Cree) – spans about 160 kilometres between Northern Québec and Ontario, with the provincial border at the bottom of the bay. First Nations communities spanning the coast and its many branching rivers, long functioned as trade posts for the Hudson’s Bay Company, including Fort Rupert, Québec (Eastern Cree, Eeyou territory), and Moose Factory Island and Fort Albany, Ontario (Western Cree, Mushkegowuk territory). The largest and most urban settlement in this region is the town of Moosonee, Ontario, on the mainland about five kilometres across the Moose River from Moose Factory Island. While Moosonee is formally recognized as a municipality in the Province of Ontario rather than a First Nation, its population of approximately 3,500 residents is predominantly – about 70% – of Cree lineage. Moosonee is notably the northern terminus of the Ontario Northland Railway and a deep sea port for the tran...

DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado's "natural medicine" law, which decriminalizes certain psychedelics, is hitting another phase in its rollout.Senate President Steve Fenberg introduced a bill Tuesday that lays out the legal framework for implementing the voter-approved initiative. Federal judge halts Colorado ban on ‘abortion pill reversal’ Nearly 54% of voters last year decided to decriminalize psilocybin, DMT, ibogaine and mescaline, all of them defined under the umbrella phrase "natural medicine" in Proposition 122. Coloradans also gave the OK to "healing centers" for psilocybin, where users could ingest the drugs under licensed supervision, but legislators now have to regulate how exactly that will work. The law also opens the door for the other three drugs to be included in therapeutic settings in the future.Now, Senate Bill 290 looks to define what comes next.

Red Sox top Twins 5-4 in 10 on Verdugo’s unusual hit

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:49:29 GMT

BOSTON (AP) — Alex Verdugo singled home the winning run with two outs in the 10th inning on a fly ball that barely stayed fair at Fenway Park, giving the Boston Red Sox a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins in a bizarre finish Tuesday night.Umpires needed a few minutes to review Verdugo’s drive, which bounced off the low wall in right field just short of Pesky’s Pole, before officially declaring it a hit and the game over. That sparked a second round of celebrating by the Red Sox, who got 11 strikeouts from starter Chris Sale but little offense until the end.Reese McGuire had just tied it with a two-run single as the Red Sox rallied after allowing two runs in the top of the 10th. McGuire entered as a pinch hitter in the eighth and reached on a key defensive error when Christian Vázquez was called for catcher’s interference. The play helped Boston score once in the eighth and eventually force the extra inning, which featured more offense than the previous nine comb...

Chris Sale strikes out 11, Alex Verdugo delivers walk-off as Red Sox win 5-4 in 10 innings

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:49:29 GMT

The reports of Chris Sale’s demise as an ace appear to have been greatly exaggerated.Though he received little run support from the Red Sox offense, the big lefty delivered his best outing since before undergoing Tommy John surgery. Sale struck out 11 Minnesota Twins batters, including six in the first two innings alone, and allowed only one run over six strong innings of work.The Red Sox went on to win 5-4 in the 10th inning, with Alex Verdugo capping off a wild sequence with a walk-off single off the wall below Pesky’s Pole, which barely stayed fair and left the players and crowd hanging before the call was upheld on review.Even though he didn’t wind up factoring into the decision, Sale’s performance was an encouraging development for the Red Sox.“There are no words,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said of Sale’s performance. “It was great, that’s a good lineup and he was under control, fastball played tonight and after that he just...

Lucas Giolito had no-hit stuff.Only a high pitch count prevented the Chicago White Sox starter from possibly going the distance in the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies.Giolito left after the sixth inning without allowing a hit, but he threw 102 pitches.After Kendall Graveman retired the side in order in the seventh, the Phillies broke up the combined no-hit bid when Brandon Marsh led off the eighth with a double to left against Aaron Bummer.The Sox had to settle for a one-hitter in a 3-0 victory in front of 12,542 at Guaranteed Rate Field.“I knew I wouldn’t get through nine; I lobbied for the seventh,” Giolito said. “I understand going out in April already at 102 pitches is kind of a tough spot.“If it was 102 pitches after seven or eight, then maybe we have more leeway, but understandably hand it off to the bullpen and let them shut it down for three innings, which is what they did.”The Sox earned a spl...

Alabama House OKs ban on trans athletes at a college level

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:49:29 GMT

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Transgender women in Alabama would be prohibited from joining female sports teams in college under legislation advanced Tuesday by the Alabama House of Representatives — a part of a wave of restrictions on transgender people being pushed in conservative states. The House voted 83-5 in favor of the legislation that would extend a 2021 ban on transgender athletes in K-12 sports teams to include college teams. The bill states that sports teams “designated for females, women, or girls shall not be open to a biological male.” Similarly, a “biological female” would also not be allowed to participate on teams for boys and men. The legislation now moves to the Alabama Senate. “Forcing women to compete against biological men would reverse decades of progress women have made for equal opportunity in athletics,” Republican Rep. Susan DuBose, the bill’s sponsor, told lawmakers. DuBose said that “no amount of hormone therapy can undo” physical advantages. At least 20 othe...
