Question: Metalhead Indonesian President Gets Thrash-Worthy Gift from Danish PM

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title.

Indonesia's metalhead president received a thrash-worthy present from his Danish counterpart Wednesday.
Joko Widodo, better known as Jokowi, was presented with the recently launched, re-mastered box set of U.S. heavy metal band Metallica's 1986 album "Master of Puppets".
The 56-year-old Jokowi is a well-known Metallica fan -- several years ago he received a signed guitar from the band's bassist Robert Trujillo.
A spokesman said Indonesia's leader was "pleasantly surprised" by the unusual diplomatic gift from Danish counterpart Lars Lokke Rasmussen, who was in Jakarta on an official visit.
The box set was signed by Metallica drummer and Danish native Lars Ulrich.
"Indonesia's president @jokowi seemed eager to dig into his diplomatic gift from Denmark: A #MasterOfPuppets box signed by #heavymetal fans' all-time favorit (sic) drummer @larsulrich," Rasmussen wrote on Twitter.
But Jokowi may not be able to keep it, as politicians have to report gifts to graft-riddled Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
The instrument Jokowi got from Trujillo is now displayed in a KPK gallery and considered a state asset.
"The KPK will decide whether the president should return the gift or if he can keep it," his spokesman said Wednesday.
And what did Rasmussen get in return? A traditional Indonesian dagger called a rencong.

Question: Anthony Scaramucci on Stephen Colbert show: The Mooch's excuses to justify Trump's weak response to Nazi demonstrators

Represent this text to find a news title for it

After being unceremoniously fired 10 days into his job as White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci doesn’t appear to harbor any negative feelings toward the US president.
In fact, if his Aug. 14 appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is any indication, he’s still very much in Donald Trump’s corner, coming up with plenty of excuses to justify his behavior.
Colbert spent much of his interview grilling “the Mooch” on Trump’s initial response to the white supremacists, whose rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia, turned violent on Aug. 12, killing a female counter-protestor and injuring about 35 people.
Going off script from his prepared remarks over the weekend, the president had blamed the violence on “many sides.” Two days later, under pressure from lawmakers and others, he publicly condemned white supremacist groups, including the KKK and neo-Nazis.
“I said no gotcha questions. I promised you no gotcha questions, but I’m going to lead with one. Nazis, good or bad?” Colbert asked to start his interview.
“Super bad,” Scaramucci responded.
Colbert then asked why the president of the United States couldn’t come out and say the same thing on Saturday.
Scaramucci never had a direct answer, but he did offer the following:
“Listen, it was late. I’m not going to say it wasn’t. He did go to the White House today, and he did make a statement, which you just said was very declarative against it.”
“There’s a [inaudible] counterintuitive thing as it relates to the media. The media expects him to do something, he sometimes does the exact opposite.”
“You guys have been super rough on me and super rough on him, but he is a compassionate person. I know him as a compassionate person.”
“It’s a super tough job. He made a step to give up what was a luxurious lifestyle. … Stephen, it’s a huge sacrifice to do this stuff.”
(On Trump complaining about doing the job:) “That’s him wearing his heart on his sleeve. That’s him expressing himself.”

Results from a 'ground-breaking' drug trial offer new hope to people with Huntington's disease.
The experimental drug, injected into spinal fluid, was shown to lower levels of the harmful protein responsible for the devastating inherited brain disorder .
The agent, known as IONIS-HTTRx, is the first drug designed to target the root cause of Huntington's.
A total of 46 patients with early-stage Huntington's disease took part in the trial, conducted at nine centres in the UK, Germany and Canada.
The study confirmed that the treatment worked as hoped, and was well-tolerated by the participants.

Lead researcher Professor Sarah Tabrizi, head of University College London's Huntington's Disease Centre, said: "The results of this trial are of ground-breaking importance for Huntington's disease patients and families.
"For the first time a drug has lowered the level of the toxic disease-causing protein in the nervous system, and the drug was safe and well-tolerated.
"The key now is to move quickly to a larger trial to test whether (the drug) slows disease progression."
(Image: Toronto Star)
Huntington's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that normally appears in adulthood and causes involuntary movements, psychiatric symptoms, and dementia.
Currently incurable, the condition affects an estimated 10,000 people in the UK. A further 25,000 are thought to be at risk.
Patients usually die within 20 years after the onset of symptoms.
(Image: OJO Images RF)
The new drug, developed by Ionis Pharmaceuticals, contains an "antisense" molecule consisting of a single strand of chemically-modified DNA.
The DNA strand stops the genetic instructions for making the Huntington's protein getting through to manufacturing machinery in brain cells.
Levels of the toxic HTT protein are reduced, thereby minimising damage to the brain.

Writing in Nature, an international team of researchers described how they had taken pieces of cancer’s genetic RNA code, put them into tiny nanoparticles of fat and then injected the mixture into the bloodstreams of three patients in the advanced stages of the disease. The patients' immune systems responded by producing "killer" T-cells designed to attack cancer. The vaccine was also found to be effective in fighting “aggressively growing” tumours in mice, according to researchers, who were led by Professor Ugur Sahin from Johannes Gutenberg University in Germany Rex

Scientists from the Francis Crick Institute in London say the anti-inflammatory pain killer suppresses a cancer molecule that allows tumours to evade the body’s immune defences. Laboratory tests have shown that skin, breast and bowel cancer cells often generate large amounts of this molecule, called prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). But Aspirin is one of a family of drugs that sends messages to the brain to block production of PGE2 and this means cancer cells can be attacked by the body’s natural defences

Question: Squirrels freed after zip ties, bell, removed from necks

WATERLOO, Iowa (AP)  Iowa wildlife experts have released two squirrels after a vet removed electrical zip ties from around their necks, including one with a bell attached.
Dreama Bartz with the Black Hawk Wildlife Rehabilitation Project said Wednesday that she trapped the animals this month after a Waterloo resident called to report the apparent cruelty.
A vet removed the ties and bell and determined the squirrels were not hurt before they were released back into the neighborhood where they were found.
Bartz thinks a resident captured the squirrels as infants and let them go months later, after realizing the frisky pair wouldn't works as pets.

She thinks the zip ties and bell were ways to keep track of them.
Bartz says the squirrels could have been choked by the ties as they grew.

Question: [WATCH] Lucy Dacus’s ‘Night Shift’ Live Performance

Facebook
One of the best rock albums to hit in 2018 is Lucy Dacus’ sophomore effort Historian. One of the best songs from that collection is a track titled “Night Shift,” a lengthy post-mortem about a broken relationship that’s touched with some serious guitar bombast around the middle. Recently, Dacus touched down in Seattle for an intimate performance at the Tractor Tavern, which was caught and filmed by Amazon, who shared a video of the singer’s incredible performance of that amazing tune.
In a recent interview with Uproxx’s own Steven Hyden, Dacus opened up about the inspiration behind this particular song. “It’s the first breakup song I’ve ever written, and there’s a lot of raw emotion to it,” she said. “Also, it’s about something really specific, and that has taken a lot of bravery I haven’t had up until this point, to be specific and truthful. I can look back on No Burden and kind of know where the songs came from, but it’s a little more general. This album is really based on specific difficulties, maybe even difficulties I’m even still in the middle of. Beyond the [lyrics], it is a first for me to get that loud at the end. Writing it felt like a release, and singing it every night feels like a release as well.”
You can watch Lucy Dacus’s performance of “Night Shift” in the video above.

All Kiwi kids deserve so much more than the impoverished picture painted by the shameful rankings provided by the UNICEF Innocenti Report Card, says Labour’s children spokesperson Jacinda Ardern.
"After nine years of National, New Zealand ranks near the bottom for child well-being and that’s just not good enough. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) rankings confirm the hardship and suffering with nearly 20 per cent of all Kiwi children living in relative income poverty.
"Labour is committed to a framework of measuring poverty in New Zealand. My Child Poverty Reduction and Eradication Members Bill would measure child poverty and set a reduction target.
"It’s shameful that New Zealand joins the Republic of Korea, Turkey and Chile as the only countries that do not measure child poverty. What’s even worse is that New Zealand has the highest adolescent suicide rate of all 41 European and OECD countries in the report.
"Labour has been asking how the Government is working towards reducing the number of children living in poverty. There’s no meaningful work programme that Minister Tolley is currently doing to reduce the number of children living in poverty.
"It’s a poor track record for the National Government that sees New Zealand ranked 34th out of 41 European Union/ OECD countries in the League Table.
"The SDG to end hunger ranks New Zealand 18th with 10.9 per cent of children below the age of 15 living with an adult who is food insecure.
"Failing to put food on the table is more common than the Government cares to admit. The report shows that national income alone is no guarantee of a good record in sustaining child well-being.
"We can do better, and under Labour we will. We'll start by putting child poverty measures into law, and report on them every budget. We'll focus on lifting incomes, making housing affordable, and putting nurses in schools. After nine years, it's time for a fresh approach and one that puts child well-being at the heart of what we do, and puts New Zealand at the top of the tables," says Jacinda Ardern.

Question: Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt wants to avoid more late...

Joe Schmidt has ordered Ireland not to rely on Johnny Sexton to dig them out of trouble again in the NatWest 6 Nations.
Head coach Schmidt admitted he will drum home the message that Ireland cannot afford to let Test matches slip away, after Sexton’s last-ditch drop-goal
stole a 15-13 win over France in Paris.
France caught Ireland cold with Teddy Thomas’ converted try edging Les Bleus into a late 13-12 lead, only for Sexton’s added-time drop-goal to
save the day.
Ireland ploughed through close to 40 phases before Sexton dropped the winning goal, and while Schmidt hailed his talisman’s nerves of steel, he
conceded his side can ill afford to leave victories so late in future.
“We can’t leave matches in the balance,” said Schmidt.
“You’ve got to make the most of advantages and get the points you need.
“One freakish event, and one freakishly good player in Thomas and his try can undo all that hard work.
“That’s something we’re disappointed with and we’ve got to do something to make sure that doesn’t happen next week, and for the following weeks
of the championship.”
Schmidt revealed Ireland’s coaching staff turned into supporters, cheering and jumping around when Sexton slotted the winning goal.
Sexton himself was mobbed by his team-mates on the Stade de France field, and Schmidt hailed the British and Irish Lions star for fending off fatigue
and cramp to seal Ireland’s nail-biting triumph.
“It’s hard to explain how you feel when you think the game’s gone away, you’ve let it slip and suddenly you’ve grabbed it back,” said Schmidt.
“It was an incredible team effort. It’s fairly inspirational.
“We felt we got very close to earning some reward, but it was very slow ball and then we didn’t appear to be getting much chance. And when Johnny
struck the drop-goal I was just willing it to have enough distance.
“It looked it might, and when it did, as a coaching team we all stood up as one and probably cheered with the other Irish supporters who were in
the stadium.
“Maybe people underestimate how hard it is to come here and win.
“Johnny has hit a few drop-goals in his time, but not many. And I don’t think he was really thinking too much about history, he just stepped and
seized the moment and he did it with absolute aplomb.
“That’s credit to a man who was struggling a little with cramp and fatigue.
“But his clarity of thought and ability to win those big moments is second to none.”

Ireland will roll on to face Italy in Dublin next weekend, but must do so without Josh Van der Flier, who has suspected knee ligament damage.
France were left to rue a demoralising defeat inflicted from the jaws of victory in Jacques Brunel’s first match at the helm.
Matthieu Jalibert and Antoine Dupont suffered knee injuries, with Brunel insisting France had no control over both playmakers undergoing Head Injury
Assessments (HIAs).

“They were collisions, but the head injury protocol was decided by the independent doctor; it wasn’t our decision,” said Brunel, of the HIAs for
Jalibert and Dupont.
“Both players had knee injuries, but the independent doctor decided that by the protocol.”

Rory Best is hoping the title-clinching spirit of 2014 can help Ireland stay in the fight and swoop for an opening day Six Nations win in Paris on Saturday.
Joe Schmidt's side dramatically sealed the Championship four years ago by beating France away from home for only the third time since 1952.
And they are now seeking another rare victory in the French capital with 11 of those same title winners in Schmidt's latest matchday 23.
Rory Best speaks to the media in Paris ahead of Ireland's Six Nations opener against France
'The big thing is France are going to have moments in the game — and they did four years ago — where it feels like wave after wave, like almost all 80,000 people are on top of you.
'The big thing four years ago is when those moments came, we got bigger and bigger and bigger and we fought them off, lived in the game… our set-piece went really well, we started the game well and took as many opportunities as we could.
'That is the big thing for us, we have got to live in every moment of the game and we can't give away easy moments, easy momentum. That is the big thing because there will be times when it is going to feel suffocating, but we have got to make sure we fight our way out of it.'
Best's record against the French is the 35-year-old's worst against the 15 nations he has faced in his long Test career, just five wins celebrated in 14 fixtures. However, while he admitted to nerves since arriving in Paris, he is hoping the nervous energy can be turned into a positive as the start of his third championship as skipper.
'I would like to think I'm a bit more composed and a bit more relaxed about the day, but you still get nervous,' he said as Ireland seek to enjoy a better start than last year's loss to Scotland and 2016's draw with Wales.'
Best leads the Ireland squad in training this week, ahead of the big match in the French capital
Best added he is envious of the maturity of the two 21-year-olds — James Ryan and Jacob Stockdale — featuring in the championship on Saturday evening for the first time. 'The bit thing from the younger guys is they want to get better. Look as James, look at Josh, these guys are students of the game but ultimately the big thing is their physical presence is beyond anything when I was coming in at that age.'
The Ireland skipper replied 'no comment' when twice asked if he had permission from the Ireland management to attend the ongoing Paddy Jackson/Stuart Olding court case in Belfast on Wednesday.
However, he was more forthcoming about the same day's sacking of Les Kiss as Ulster coach.
'It's disappointing. I have known Les a very long time. He's a very good coach and whatever happened at Ulster, it didn't click.'

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Anthony Lawrence II scored a career-high 25 points to lift Miami to an 84-75 victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday.
Lawrence hit 9 of 10 from the floor, including three 3-pointers, as Miami (17-5, 6-4 ACC) won its second straight game and fourth in its past five. Lonnie Walker IV and DJ Vasiljevic added 14 points each.
Behind torrid first-half shooting — 58.6 percent (17 of 29) — Miami grabbed the early lead and led for the final 37 minutes. Virginia Tech (16-7, 5-5) used an 8-0 run to cut the lead to 66-63 on a layup by Justin Robinson with 3:51 remaining, but the Walker hit a clutch 3-pointer with 3:22 to go to push the lead to 69-63, and Virginia Tech got no closer than four the rest of the way.
The 'Canes relied on something down the stretch that isn't their strength to hold off the Hokies — free-throw shooting. The ACC's worst free-throw shooting team coming into the game made 9 of 12 in the final 1:16. They hit 16 of 23 (69.6 percent).

They won their sixth true road game of the season, and if they get Brown back, they could be a tough out if they get in the tournament.
Virginia Tech: The Hokies had won three straight games to play their way into the NCAA Tournament discussion, but missed on an opportunity for a stronger case.

Question: Tensions rise as Bill Cosby jury struggles to reach verdict

this news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — As deliberations in Bill Cosby’s sexual assault trial continue into a fourth day Thursday, nerves are frayed, patience is shot and no one is certain when it will all end.
Some jurors appeared angry, the judge sounded exasperated and accuser Andrea Constand’s mother broke down in tears Wednesday.
The sequestered jury has been at it for more than 27 hours since getting the case Monday, pausing a half-dozen times to revisit key evidence, including Cosby’s decade-old admissions that he fondled Constand after giving her pills.
Judge Steven O’Neill seemed vexed at times as the court staff struggled to answer the jury’s requests. One batch of requested testimony hadn’t even been transcribed yet.
But when jurors asked to stop for the day Wednesday night, O’Neill was effusive with praise — encouraging their diligence as they weigh charges that could put the 79-year-old Cosby in prison for the rest of his life.
“This is an incredible jury that has just acted with incredible dignity and fidelity,” O’Neill said. “I don’t have any higher praise. You have taken your task so seriously.”
Cosby is charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault. Each carries a maximum 10-year prison term, though the counts could be merged at sentencing if he is convicted.
The case has already helped demolish his nice-guy reputation as America’s Dad.
Cosby has wavered between stoic and smiling as he awaits his fate, but gave a brief thumbs-up as jurors listened to a court reporter reread his January 2005 police interview.
In it, he claimed Constand showed no ill effects from the 1 1/2 Benadryl pills he gave her to help her relax, and that she never objected to his behavior during the 2004 encounter at his suburban Philadelphia home.
Constand testified last week that she was paralyzed by the pills and unable to fight Cosby off. Her mother, Gianna Constand, pulled a cloth from her pocket to wipe away tears Wednesday as she listened to the testimony.
Cosby’s lawyers maintain Constand was a willing sexual partner.
Some jurors closed their eyes and tilted their heads down as they listened to the police interview. One slunk down in his seat, looking angry.
“Can you find 12 people who will agree? That’s the question,” said criminal lawyer Alan J. Tauber, who wasn’t involved in the case.
The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they grant permission, which Constand has done.

Question: Liberals on track for $4B deficit

TORONTO -
Ontario’s fiscal watchdog says the Liberal government will run a deficit this fiscal year, despite claims it has balanced the budget.
In a new report Monday, the Financial Accountability Office said the Liberals will run a $4 billion deficit in 2017-2018, and will continue to be in the red over the next few years.
More moderate growth in revenues and the increasing fiscal impact of the province’s Fair Hydro Plan, which cuts electricity rates by 25 per cent, will take their toll on Ontario’s books the report notes. It also says a long-simmering accounting dispute between the Liberal government and Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk over how to count two public sector pension plans on the ledger is contributing to uncertainty.
“We’ve been very consistent that because of a number of factors we think the deficit will re-emerge,” said FAO chief economist David West. “Now, with this accounting debate it will become more significant.”
The Liberals presented a balanced budget in the spring, a year ahead of the provincial election, and have promised to keep the books in balance through the next couple of years.The FAO, however, projects the government’s budget deficit will grow to $9.8 billion in 2021-2022.
“The government is out borrowing this money,” West said. “This current year they’re going to borrow $23 billion in the markets. That’s going to rise to $45 billion in the coming years.”
The FAO also said the government’s new hydro plan will add $3.2 billion to the budget deficit by 2021-2022.
Last year Lysyk questioned the province’s decision to include a pair of public pensions — the Ontario Public Service Employee’s Union Pension Plan and the Ontario Teacher’s Pension Plan — as assets on its balance sheet.
The FAO said in its report that since the government has not adopted the auditor’s recommended accounting for both the pension assets, and with the addition of the Fair Hydro Plan, it is becoming more difficult for legislators and the public to assess the government’s fiscal projections.

Question: PHOTOS: At Westminster, Rumor Wins - But They're All Good Dogs

There was no end of intrigue at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show this year.
Rumor, the German shepherd who narrowly lost at last year's show, had come close to simply hanging up her leash and retiring. Instead, she stormed back to win her category again this year — and then, to top it all off, beat out more than 2,800 dogs to take Best in Show on Tuesday, as well.
The triumph makes her only the second German shepherd to win the top prize in Westminster's 141-year history. Considering Westminster is the second-longest continuously running sporting event in the U.S. — second only to the Kentucky Derby — the redemptive win for the 5 1/2-year-old female is no mean feat.
Not only that, but as NPR's Merrit Kennedy noted earlier this month, Westminster also played host to another rarity at this year's dog show: cats. The featured felines shared a showcase with the dogs called Meet & Compete.
Still, whatever words we can offer on the event seem a little beside the point. The dogs — big and small, noble and loony — are the main event.
So, without further throat-clearing, here's what you came for: A few of our very favorite images from the competition.

Question: Kids prefer the TV for their viewing, but love other devices

NEW YORK (AP)  Grace Ellis has never known a time when you needed a TV to watch TV.
The North Attleboro, Massachusetts, fifth-grader watches shows like Liv and Maddie, Jessie and The Lodge on her laptop, iPad and phone.
Sometimes I watch TV in the car, she says. I have ballet every day, so I watch on the way.
She has a TV in her bedroom that isnt hooked up to cable but is perfect for watching DVDs.

And the familys flat-screen has advantages of its own.
Its much bigger, Grace explains, and on the couch, its comfier.
Ever since freckle-faced puppet Howdy Doody ushered in childrens television nearly 70 years ago, each new generation of viewers has been treated to a growing bounty of programs on a mushrooming selection of gadgetry.
But nothing compares to the current wave: The generation coming up now is used to having everything at their fingertips, says Stacey Lynn Schulman, an analyst at the Katz Media Group.
Why not? From birth, theirs has been a world of video digitally issuing from every screen. And for them, any of those screens is just another screen, whether or not you call it TV.
When they love a (show), they love it in every form and on every platform, says Nickelodeon president Cyma Zarghami.
This keeps the bosses at each kids network scrambling to make sure that wherever children turn their eyes, that networks programing will be there.
Even so, it may be surprising that children nonetheless watch most television on, well, a television. As in: old-fashioned linear, while-its-actually-airing telecasts.
A new Nielsen study finds that in the fourth quarter of 2016, viewers aged 2-11 averaged about 17 hours of live (not time-shifted) TV each week. Granted, thats a drop of about 90 minutes weekly from the year before. But by comparison, kids in fourth quarter 2016 spent about 4½ hours weekly watching video content on other devices.
Linear TV is still the lions share of where kids time is spent, says Jane Gould, senior vice president for consumer insights for Disney Channel. But its important for us to be in all the OTHER places where they are, as well.
One reason: Those other outlets can pave the way for a new programs arrival on linear TV.
Gould points to Andi Mack, an ambitious young-adult comedy-drama that debuted on Disney Channel on April 7. Weeks before it landed there, the series could be sampled on digital platforms including the Disney Channel app, Disney.com, Disney Channel YouTube, iTunes, Amazon and Google Play.
Count Grace Ellis among the legions of kids whose attention was snagged by this mega-buildup. When Andi Mack premiered, Grace was one of the 9 million TV viewers who tuned in.
When Sesame Street premiered on PBS back in 1969, it joined a bare handful of TV shows (chief among them Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Rogers Neighborhood) devoted to uplifting their young audience.
Nearly a half-century later, Sesame Street is going strong.
PBS is still at its core, says Sesame Workshop COO Steve Youngwood. So is TV overall, as demonstrated by the series expanding to HBO a year ago. TV currently accounts for 40 percent of its viewership.
But Sesame Street has never stopped adapting to an evolving media landscape that today finds 18 percent of its audience viewing on tablets, 14 percent on mobile phones and 25 percent on other streaming devices and computers.
That includes YouTube, where its program content has been a presence for some time. Now its getting special focus with the launch of Sesame Studios, which Youngwood describes as a separate production unit specifically for that platform. We want to harness the power of YouTube to educate kids just like we harnessed the power of TV 50 years ago.
A half-century ago streaming video was an unimagined wonder. But todays TV landscape has been upended by this technology, and by major streaming-video outlets like Hulu, Amazon and Netflix as they aggressively vie for kids (as well as everybody elses) attention.
Netflix famously doesnt disclose viewership figures. But according to Andy Yeatman, director of global kids content, About half of our members around the world watch kids content on a regular basis. So its a very large, engaged audience.
Between new and returning series last year, we added 35 new seasons of kids originals, he says. Similar expansion is projected this year.
In a bygone era with just a handful of TV channels, kids could count on finding shows aimed at them only on Saturday mornings and weekday afternoons.
Nickelodeons Zarghami pegs 2013-14 as the most recent turning point for kids TV, when the landscape seriously shifted, she says, with streaming-video-on-demand providers gaining a real foothold and supplemental devices like tablets and mobile taking off.
Today, Nick has six on-demand platforms, and we went from 500 new episodes in a season to close to 700 this season, she says.
In short, kids are flooded with just-for-them content from every direction. But even thats not enough.
What they really look for is, to be surprised, says Disney Channels Gould. Thats the real challenge: How do we surprise and delight them?
Schulman of the Katz Media Group has her own prediction for where the next round of surprises might be waiting.
Virtual reality has been hard to get off the ground, but kids are all about immersive experiences, she says. When VR is ready for them, thats probably going to be the next big thing.

Question: Stratford’s downtown revival to begin with demolition of defunct school

Represent this text to find a news title for it

In 2008, the town of Stratford received a $50,000 grant from the Tri-State Transportation Campaign, a nonprofit policy advocacy organization, to conduct a feasibility assessment of transit-centered development projects in the downtown.
The primary goals of the assessment were to identify opportunities to revitalize the downtown district and attract new development to enhance the town’s tax base, while simultaneously preserving the character of the community.
Ten years later, Stratford is starting with a construction project designed to expand the town’s housing stock and retail community. The first step in this endeavor is the demolition of a former elementary school that will open 3.6 acres of land to new development.
Stratford’s Center School opened in 1970 on Sutton Avenue and at its peak housed about 255 students in kindergarten through 6th grade. In 2005, the school was decommissioned as an elementary school and was later used for the district’s basketball games and other programs.
In July 2015, Stratford received a $1.2 million grant from the state’s Department of Economic and Community Development to remediate hazardous building materials at the school and at the adjacent board of education headquarters. These properties were identified as part of a future Transit-Oriented Development Overlay District. In May 2016, the school board approved giving the town ownership of the former school building, noting that the transfer would save Stratford $200,000 a year it had been paying in operating costs.
“The town council recently accepted a grant from the state to abate this building and remove the building structure,” said Stratford Mayor Laura Hoydick, referring to a Jan. 8 resolution accepting $1.25 million from Connecticut’s Brownfield Grant Funds. That allowed the town to request proposals from developers “to open up this space for a mixed-use development.”
Hoydick said that the removal of the school building would be a financial boon for Stratford. “This is a municipal property, so there are no taxes on it,” she said. “We were employing people here a long time ago, but at the taxpayers’ expense.”
Amy Knorr, Stratford’s supervisor of economic development, said that the town was accepting bids from demolition companies to handle the building’s removal. “That has to go through a process that takes some time, but hopefully it could start in the spring or summer,” she said.
Knorr said that the board of education building, which was originally built as the Center School in 1885 and was rebuilt in 1929 following a fire, was being considered for repurposing for either residential or mixed-use development. However, no formal timeline has been considered for that proposal.
Hoydick said that it would be up to the developer who successfully bids on the Center School project to determine whether rental units or condominiums would constitute the residential aspect of any mixed-used property. However, she expressed a personal preference for any development to include smaller and independent retail operations rather than big-box retailing, and she was adamant against using the newly freed space to only accommodate parking for the neighboring Main Street and Metro-North Railroad station.
“We don’t want a six-story parking garage, but we want to have parking to accommodate the development and open it to the public for the center area,” she said.
Keeping people walking is part of the focus of the downtown development. On Jan. 9, Stratford received a $450,000 “Complete Streets” grant from the state to complete the technical design for improvements along a portion of Main Street and Barnum Avenue, south of East Broadway and around the corner from the Center School building. The project is intended to enhance pedestrian and bicyclist safety in the downtown area.

It's a project that developers say will create hundreds of new jobs and save taxpayers money. Plans for the Burlington Town Center got a much-needed boost.
"There's just lots of benefits. The economic impact of this thing will truly transform the downtown area," said Don Sinex, Burlington Town Center developer.
Monday, Burlington's Development Review Board gave a unanimous green light to plans for the Burlington Town Center.
"We're going to bring a residential neighborhood back to this site which was taken away close to 40 years ago," said Sinex.
So what would the multimillion-dollar redevelopment project mean for the city? Sinex says the downtown transformation would create more than 270 units of housing, business and retail space. Parking for more than 700 cars and tax revenue that could ease the burden on Queen City wallets.
But not everyone's excited that the plans got past their last major hurdle.
"We believe it is totally out of character for the city of Burlington and that it probably violated the procedures for being considered as a project," said Steve Goodkind, of Burlington.
The plans could still be subject to an appeal in environmental court and opponents like Goodkind, a former public works director and mayoral candidate, say they're not done.
"There's a lot of people in this city who are very concerned about what's happening here. Maybe feel it's a done deal. We believe it's far from a done deal and we're going to put our efforts where our mouths are. We're going to contest this," said Goodkind.
Still, Sinex says he's moving forward that bringing his vision to life could bring close to 750 constructions jobs and another 1,200 to 1,300 permanent positions to the city's downtown core.
"I think we've done everything right and we'll win on appeal if there's an appeal," said Sinex.
The project still needs to be reviewed by Burlington Public Works and the fire marshal. There is also a 30-day window for an appeal.
Sinex says if things go his way, construction could begin as early as this summer and that projects this size could take around three years.

Question: BC High school track championships keep coming back to Langley

There will be 2,400 athletes, 400 coaches, and countless supporters in Langley this weekend.
Several Langley athletes medaled earlier this month in the Fraser Valley championships in Abbotsford, some earning a spot at this weekend’s provincials. (Black Press files)
The best of the best high school track and field athletes from throughout the province are converging on Langley this week.
Langley, and specifically the McLeod Athletic Park (MAP), are a preferred location for the BC High School Track and Field (BCTF) Championships that are happening Thursday through Saturday.
While the local track and most of its competition amenities are pretty standard, it’s the covered stadium and media booth used for staging, as well as the jumbotron that keep organizer Andrew Lenton and the team from the BCTF’s commission coming back to Langley again and again.
“The media tower makes a great staging area for the event, for us, from an organizational perspective,” he said.
“But the feedback we get from the spectators is that the jumbotron is something they’re really wanting to keep, so we’ve come back here.”
He said the Township’s parks and rec staff have been “great to deal with.” And the commission’s long-standing relationship with the Langley Mustangs track and field club has made it possible to facilitate “an event of this magnitude” year after year.
“It’s a really great facility. The Township of Langley is great to work with, their parks and rec. The facilities are great,” said Lenton, who is assistant coach at Maple Ridge Secondary and commissioner for the B.C. High School Track & Field Commission.
In addition to complimenting parks and rec, he said partnering with the Langley Mustangs track and field club to facilitate an event of this magnitude has been key.
“It’s just a massive event,” Lenton said Wednesday afternoon from MAP.
It’s one of the largest high school competitions of any kind in the country, comparable only to the Ontario track and field event, he said.
It will be a full house, added Lenton, noting that once again there will be 2,400 students from 335 high school throughout the province competing.
“We cap out. We limit and restrict who can come into the championships,” he explained. “There’s many thousands and thousands more who have not been as lucky as to qualify or get a berth into the championships.”
In addition to all the athletes expected, there are another 400 coaches, and countless parents and supporters coming to Langley this weekend.
“This is a huge undertaking,” Lenton told the Langley Advance, explaining that these annual championships takes more than a year of prep time to arrange.
Speaking to that, he and the other commission directors started preparing for 2019’s competition last summer.
The championships are primarily held within the Lower Mainland, because of facilities and logistics.
Only on rare occasions does it get moved to the Island or Interior.
It was hosted at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna in 1972, and Nanaimo in 2015, Lenton recalled. But he confirmed it will be back in Kelowna again next year, and he’s already making plans for their return to Langley in 2020.
This is year six for Lenton at the helm.
“I thought I would do it for one year, and somehow I’m finding myself in year six. I don’t know how that happened,” he said.
It’s primarily the calibre of athletes he sees participating year after year, and their insatiable quest to better themselves, that keeps him coming back.
This year’s competition includes 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1,500-metre races, long jump, shot put, high jump, javelin, triple jump, steeplechase, race walking, discus, and hammer for students Grade 8 through 12.
“This really is, in terms of high school track and field competition, as good as it gets,” he said.
“In fact, We have some of the best athletes in the world competing,” he added, encouraging sports enthusiasts to watch the performances.
“They’re going to be exciting,” Lenton said of the various showdowns. “For a lot of the kids, this is what they’ve been practicing and training for months and months.”
While Thursday’s action runs from 3 to about 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday are full days. Friday will see meets and competitions running from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to about 5 p.m.
That’s long days, Lenton admitted. But to make it more palatable for spectators, most of the finals have been arranged between about 2 and 5 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday.
“We’ve loaded in all the finals in those times,” or at least as many as they could accommodate.

Question: More NGOs follow MSF in suspending Mediterranean migrant rescues

* Save the Children, Sea Eye halt rescue operations
* Warn more migrant lives will be at risk
* Say Libyan coastguard make it unsafe to operate
* Migration is dominating political agenda in Italy
By Gavin Jones
ROME, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Two more aid groups have suspended migrant rescues in the Mediterranean, joining Doctors Without Borders, because they felt threatened by the Libyan coastguard.
Save the Children and Germany's Sea Watch said on Sunday their crews could no longer work safely because of the hostile stance of the Libyan authorities. Doctors Without Borders - or Medecins sans Frontieres - cited the same concern when it said on Saturday it would halt Mediterranean operations.
"We leave a deadly gap in the Mediterranean," Sea Watch's founder Michael Busch Heuer warned on Facebook, adding that Libya had issued an "explicit threat" against non-government organisations operating in the area around its coast.
Tension has been growing for weeks between aid groups and the Italian government, which has suggested some NGOs are facilitating people smuggling and is trying to enhance the role of the Libyan coastguard in blocking migrant departures.
This month, Italy began a naval mission in Libyan waters to train and support its coastguard, despite opposition from factions in eastern Libya that oppose the U.N.-backed government based in Tripoli.
Immigration is dominating Italy's political agenda before elections early next year, with public opinion increasingly hostile to migrants. Almost 600,000 migrants have arrived in Italy over the past four years.
Most sailed from lawless Libya in flimsy vessels operated by people smugglers. More than 13,000 migrants have died trying to make the crossing.
Ships manned by charities have played a growing role in rescues, picking up more than a third of all migrants brought ashore so far this year, compared with less than one percent in 2014.
Aid groups and some Italian politicians warn that migrants intercepted by the Libyan coast guard are taken back to inhuman conditions in detention camps on the Libyan mainland.
However, prosecutors in Sicily have opened investigations against some NGOs, which they suspect of collaborating with people smugglers, and Rome has proposed a Code of Conduct setting stricter rules on how the groups can operate.
Italian Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano said in a newspaper interview on Sunday that Libya's growing role in controlling its waters was curbing people trafficking and producing a welcome "readjustment" in the Mediterranean.
MSF's decision to halt its rescue operations was part of this positive process, he told daily La Stampa.
Save the Children said its rescue ship, the Vos Hestia, would dock in Malta until it received assurances about the intentions of the Libyan authorities.
Libya was trying to increase the range of the waters its ships controlled from 12 nautical miles around its coast to 70 nautical miles, the humanitarian organisation said.
"The necessary pause in operations from charity rescue ships likes ours and others will undoubtedly put lives at risk," its operations director Rob MacGillivray warned. (Reporting By Gavin Jones)

Giancarlo Stanton homered again, tying the Miami Marlins' season record, and he became the sixth fastest player to reach 250 career homers.
With one swing of the bat in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Colorado Rockies, Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton made history in a couple of ways.
Stanton's third-inning home run off Rockies starter German Márquez was his 42nd of the season, tying Gary Sheffield for the Marlins' single-season record, set in 1996.
Even more impressive, it was career home run number 250. Only Ryan Howard, Ralph Kiner, Harmon Killebrew, Albert Pujols and Juan Gonzalez reached the milestone faster than Stanton, 27.
"It's been fun," Stanton told reporters after the game. "It's been a fun challenge every night for me.
"There's sometimes where if [a pitcher] throws his pitch, it's going to get demolished. Can't explain it. As long as I get extension and lift on the ball, it's going to go."
Thanks to Stanton, the Marlins completed a three-game sweep of Colorado at Marlins Park. He homered in all three games.

Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield homered, tripled and drove in five runs in Kansas City's win. He went three-for-six at the plate.

Giants outfielder Jarrett Parker struck out six times and went 0-for-nine against the Nationals in a doubleheader. He stranded five runners in the opener.

Nicky Delmonico was probably thinking "home run," but Royals centrefielder Alex Gordon was thinking, "this is the final out."
