Beware of hungry bears packing on the pounds before Colorado winter The owners weren’t home at the time, but they said the bear went in and out multiple times taking whatever it wanted from the kitchen.“Ate my husband’s tomahawk steak and everything else that was in there, then started on the refrigerator and then went into the pantry,” Sabrina Vasquez said.Vasquez said she's working on a plan to keep the bear away next fall, not because she wants to protect her food, but because she’s worried the bear is in danger when it breaks in.In late summer and through the fall, bears are very active and are looking for food so they can stay nourished through hibernation.

OTTAWA, Ont. — The Speaker of Canada’s House of Commons resigned on Tuesday after quick and fierce backlash for honoring a man who fought in a Nazi division during World War II.Anthony Rota made a sudden but not unexpected announcement to the House of Commons to express “profound regret” and said he would step down as speaker by end of day Wednesday.“That public recognition has caused pain to individuals and communities, including the Jewish community in Canada and around the world, in addition to survivors of Nazi atrocities in Poland, among other nations,” he said.Canadian lawmakers gave a standing ovation to Yaroslav Hunka, 98, after Rota recognized him as a “hero” following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s historic speech in Parliament on Friday — a moment that produced some of the best visuals from Zelenskyy’s visit.But the story took a twisted turn and burst into global headlines over the weekend when it came out that Hunka was part of the First Ukrainian Division, al...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:51:03 GMT

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu was cool Monday to the idea that Widett Circle could be used as a recovery campus to help address persistent drug use and homelessness at the nearby intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard, and said she is not troubled by the amount of time the City Council is taking to consider her proposal for dealing with encampments at Mass. and Cass.The South End Forum of neighborhood associations and the Newmarket Business Improvement District unveiled a proposal last month that would involve temporary cabins being erected at Widett Circle with services to support individuals through various steps of recovery. The 24-acre property was previously home to the New Boston Food Mart Corporation, had been eyed as a potential Olympic stadium location and is now owned by the MBTA, whose leaders have described the site as critical to improving commuter rail operations.During an appearance Monday on WBUR’s “Radio Boston,R...
