Residents demand more action over racial Marin high school video

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:35:18 GMT

Some Marin residents are calling for stronger action by the Tamalpais Union High School District to address a video with a racial slur that was made and shared by Tamalpais High School students.More than a dozen speakers who attended the district board meeting Tuesday said not enough has been done to repair damage and rebuild trust after the incident. The commenters at the board of trustees meeting on Tuesday included parents, students, teachers and community leaders.“Students are being hurt, families are being hurt,” parent Hilary Heaven told trustees. “We don’t feel safe.”Teacher Grace Backer said she asked her students to put their heads down on their desks and then hold their fingers up to signify how much they still felt fearful and anxious about the incident, on a scale of 1 to 5.“All the White students held up 1 finger, meaning they were just going on with their day-to-day lives and not thinking about it,” Backer said. “All the students of color posted a 5.”Johnathan Logan, p...

Marin hike: Kehoe Beach offers a long trip back in time

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:35:18 GMT

The first report of giant sunfish remains on a Point Reyes beach emerged via Instagram, where a local Marin feed posted the picture. News outlets picked up the story, expanding it to explain that the 6-foot animal with its deceptively nonhydrodynamic-looking shape was not just your average mola mola sunfish but instead was a rare mola tecta, or hoodwinker sunfish.The remains were discovered by a surfer, and after one of the stories identified the location as Kehoe Beach, my intrepid partners in the outdoors and I decided that Kehoe would be the destination for our regular Sunday outdoorsing. We knew there was a chance that our mola quest would prove fishless, but the weather was rainy, foggy and cool — in other words, perfect for a hike along the Pacific coast.This 0.6-mile trail leading to that great ocean offered a few quirks, one of which was a daylight sighting of a skunk foraging in a nearby tangle of shrubs. Another is that this trail is the only one in the Point Reyes Nationa...

For more On Football analysis, head here.___The NFL has done everything in its power to protect quarterbacks short of putting a flag on them.Can’t hit them high. Can’t hit them low. Can’t touch them too late.But the two most devastating QB injuries this season didn’t involve a violent hit. Kirk Cousins wasn’t even touched before he went down Sunday.Aaron Rodgers was barely hit on a sack when he suffered a torn Achilles tendon on the fourth play of his first game with the New York Jets in September.The Minnesota Vikings fear Cousins also has a torn Achilles tendon. Cousins, who has never missed a game because of an injury in his 12-year career, could miss the rest of the season after suffering the non-contact injury on a freak play. “Three-man rush and he kind of stepped up in the pocket. That is all I saw,” Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said. “I just know in some of my dialogue with Kirk it seems like maybe ...

McDonald’s promotions lure diners despite higher menu prices and revenue jumps 14%

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:35:18 GMT

McDonald’s reported better-than-expected sales in the third quarter as popular promotions brought in customers despite higher U.S. prices.Global same-store sales — or sales at locations open at least a year — rose 8.8% in the July-September period, the burger giant said Monday.

Armani Williams is unlike anyone else in the world of NASCAR, where speed is the name of the game. For Armani, the racetrack is more than a passion; it’s his happy place, fulfilling a lifelong dream that started in childhood. “I say more of a happy place, because, you know, it’s something I’ve always dreamed of as of being a kid was to be a race car driver so, just being able to get in the car, strap those belts, putting the helmet on and then let’s get ready to go,” expressed Armani. Armani proudly embraces his unique position in the sport as the first diagnosed driver with autism, a condition that has never held him back from pursuing his love for racing. “People with autism, including myself, we have this special ability to have a laser-light focus on things that catch your interest,” explained Armani. “So, when it comes to me being in a race car, because everything happens so fast, you gotta have great levels of concentratio...
