For many students, post-secondary education is seen as an opportunity to gain independence from parents. But for one University of Windsor student, it's a chance to spend more time with her biggest cheerleader — her mom. Isabella Higgison, a 19-year-old child psychology student, and her mother, Alicia, a 42-year-old Master's of Education student, are both pursuing their academic dreams on the same campus. "I never thought we'd be students at the same time," said Isabella, speaking with CTV News just before the start of the Christmas break. "It was definitely a different thing for me, realizing, like, ‘Oh, I'm doing all my classwork,’ and at the same time she's telling me, ‘I have this paper that I'm doing.’" Alicia graduated with a degree in political science nearly two decades ago. She decided to return to school in 2021 to pursue her Master's in Education. One year later, her daughter began her university journey. While the pair didn't plan to become students at the same time, they’ve embraced the experience – enjoying occasional lunches together and sharing quick chats between classes. But on campus, their roles shift. "She is a much better student," Alicia admitted with a laugh. The duo has also learned to balance their academic and personal lives. "Here, she's a student, and she's Isabella," Alicia said. "She's not my kid — and at home, she's the kid." For Isabella, having her mom on campus has been more of a blessing than a challenge. "It's never been weird. It's actually been a lot more helpful. I don't like driving, so I can map out time to where, if she's going home, I can say, 'I'm coming with you.'" The Higgisons are an example of how family ties can thrive even in unexpected circumstances, proving that learning and personal growth know no age limits.

Rape allegation against Jay-Z won’t impact NFL's relationship with music mogul, Goodell says IRVING, Texas (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says a rape allegation against rapper Jay-Z won’t impact the NFL's relationship with the music mogul. Jay-Z's company Roc Nation has produced some of the NFL’s entertainment presentations including the Super Bowl halftime show. A woman who previously sued Sean “Diddy” Combs alleging she was raped at an awards show after-party in 2000 amended the lawsuit Sunday to include an allegation that Jay-Z was also at the party and participated in the sexual assault. Jay-Z says the rape allegation made against him is part of an extortion attempt. The NFL teamed up with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation in 2019 for events and social activism. The league and the entertainment company extended their partnership a few months ago. Gastineau confronts Favre in documentary for his 'dive' on Strahan's record-breaking sack Former New York Jets star Mark Gastineau confronted Brett Favre last year at a memorabilia show and angrily accused the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback of deliberately going down on a record-breaking sack. The tense exchange is shown in the new ESPN 30 for 30 documentary “The New York Sack Exchange." It chronicles the Jets’ fearsome foursome defensive line of the 1980s that included Gastineau. Gastineau set an NFL record with 22 sacks in 1984, but Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan broke the mark when he sacked Favre in 2002 in a game between the Giants and Packers. Many have accused Favre of purposely taking the sack so Strahan could set the single-season record with 22 1/2.

George Kresge Jr., who wowed talk show audiences as the The Amazing Kreskin, dies at age 89 NEW YORK (AP) — George Joseph Kresge Jr., otherwise known to TV watchers as the mesmerizing entertainer and mentalist The Amazing Kreskin, has died at age 89. Kreskin’s friend and former road manager, Ryan Galway, says he died Tuesday at his home in Caldwell, New Jersey. Kreskin launched his television career in the 1960s and remained popular for decades, appearing with everyone from Merv Griffin to Johnny Carson to Jimmy Fallon.

Albertsons sues Kroger for failing to win approval of their proposed supermarket merger Kroger and Albertsons’ plan for the largest U.S. supermarket merger in history has crumbled. The two companies have accused each other of not doing enough to push their proposed alliance through, and Albertsons pulled out of the $24.6 billion deal on Wednesday. The bitter breakup came the day after a federal judge in Oregon and a state judge in Washington issued injunctions to block the merger, saying that combining the two grocery chains could reduce competition and harm consumers. Albertsons is now suing Kroger, seeking a $600 million termination fee, as well as billions of dollars in legal fees and lost shareholder value. Kroger says the legal claims are “baseless.” Wisconsin kayaker who faked his death and fled the country is charged after returning to US GREEN LAKE, Wis.

Green Lake County Sheriff Mark Podoll says Borgwardt “came back on his own” because of his family. Investigators say the 45-year-old was living in the country of Georgia.

Rural resurrection: A Greek village leans into faith in fight against demographic collapse FOURNA, Greece (AP) — In the remote mountains of central Greece lies Fourna, a village in danger of disappearing due to its aging population. An unlikely duo, the local priest and a schoolteacher, has joined forces to raise money to attract families and breathe life back into their community. The grassroots effort has brought more children to the school and is attracting national attention in a country grappling with one of the world’s worst demographic crises. In Greece, deaths outnumber births by nearly two-to-one. The Orthodox Church argues that incentives being offered by the government are welcome but insufficient to reverse the dire trends. The church is pleading with Greeks to restore their traditional faith in family.
