Then it turns unsettled and cooler once again.We’re in a bit of break between steady rain. Scattered showers fell overnight and continue to lift northeast. Behind this we’re left with light rain, drizzle and fog. This is how it’ll stay through the early afternoon. By mid afternoon, scattered showers develop again. Rain turns steadier this evening and remains unsettled through tonight. There will be downpours late tonight into early tomorrow morning. There’s a chance for a rumble of thunder too, especially across western and central Mass. This second round of rain is quick to move out. We’ll be left with puddles tomorrow morning, but the rain will be out of here.You’ll notice the breeze pick up out of the southeast around sunset this evening. The wind will ...

Nestor Cortes talks silencing doubters, success and sustainability

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:51:20 GMT

Back on April 14, just after Nestor Cortes threw seven innings of two-run ball against the Twins, the pitcher fielded a question about his high level of consistency since forcing his way into the Yankees’ rotation in 2021.Cortes, once a 36th-round pick and Rule 5 Draft returnee on his third stint with the Yankees, used the query to make a point.“The big question for me from everybody else has been, ‘Can he continue to do it?’” Cortes replied. “So I’m out there proving myself that I can and not allowing the noise to dictate who I am or who I can be.”A follow-up wondered if those doubters annoy Cortes, who recorded a 6.72 ERA over the first three seasons of his major league career from 2018-2020. That mark sits at 2.70 since 2021.“I don’t blame ‘em,” Cortes continued. “I know those first three years were tough, but I think it’s about time that people start turning that corner, just like I have.”C...

UCP, NDP paint dystopian portraits of rivals ahead of expected election writ drop

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:51:20 GMT

EDMONTON — The writ is expected to drop Monday in Alberta for an election campaign that effectively began weeks ago with both Danielle Smith’s United Conservatives and Rachel Notley’s New Democrats warning of the dystopian future should their opponents triumph. Polls suggest the battleground for the May 29 vote is clearly defined.  The UCP was bleeding support in its traditional rural strongholds over former premier Jason Kenney’s COVID-19 health restrictions and vaccine mandates. The bleeding has stopped, with support flooding back under Smith’s strong stance against COVID-19 rules along with her decision to fire the board of Alberta Health Services and dismiss the former chief medical officer of health, Dr. Deena Hinshaw. Edmonton remains an NDP stronghold, leaving battleground Calgary as the pathway to victory or defeat. The NDP would need to win big in a city that is traditionally conservative blue. Polls suggest it is possible, but the NDP would need help elsewhere to eke out a...

‘It’s our highway:’ Researchers, Indigenous guardians monitor lake ice in N.W.T.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:51:20 GMT

LUTSEL K’E, NORTHWEST TERRITORIES — Iris Catholique says over the past two decades, she’s noticed the waters of Great Slave Lake surrounding Lutsel K’e, N.W.T., taking longer to freeze in the winter. “In the past, the lake used to freeze by November, December and by early December, we’re able to travel through traditional trails and different small lakes between here and our traditional hunting grounds,” she said. “Now we can’t do that. We have to wait until after the lakes start to freeze in January.” The ice is not as thick in some areas at it used to be, Catholique added, and people from the community also have to travel farther to find caribou and muskox. Catholique is manager of Thaidene Nene, meaning “the land of the ancestors” in Denesuline Yati, an Indigenous protected area larger than 26,000 square kilometres on the East Arm of Great Slave Lake near Lutsel K’e. The community, home to more than 300 peopl...

Grand & Toy launches ‘brand refresh’ as it narrows focus to business customers

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:51:20 GMT

Grand & Toy invented next-day delivery, so the story goes. In 1882, long before online stores and big-box retail, the Canadian office supplies company loaded goods onto a wheelbarrow or horse-drawn wagon and delivered items to business customers within a day.The company grew steadily for a century, opening dozens of stores and becoming a household name in Canada for office catalogues and back-to-school supplies.Then, after a period of mounting competition from U.S. retailers like Staples and Walmart that saw the company sold to a U.S. firm, Grand & Toy closed all its retail locations in 2014.While the company’s legacy as an office supply store in the mall remains in the minds of some consumers, Grand & Toy has spent nearly a decade returning to its 141-year-old roots as a business-to-business supplier of office products and services. “People grew up with the brand and remember buying school supplies at Grand & Toy,” said Chris Henwood, senior direct...
