Tulane QB Mensah transfers to DukeLaughter filled the air as guests assembled small wood crosses on a recent afternoon at Friends of the Carpenter in Vancouver’s Fruit Valley neighborhood. Staff and volunteers circulated to chat with participants and offer homemade cupcakes. Since 1997, Friends of the Carpenter has been a safe place for people to relax, grab a bite to eat and learn skills. With new leadership, the faith-based nonprofit is looking to rejuvenate the space and open even more doors for guests in need of community and support. Mike Hammond, the organization’s new executive director, said he is focused on expanding the wood shop, as well as laundry and shower facilities. “Our heart is to really leverage the space that we’ve been blessed with for the good of our community,” Hammond said. “As long as I’m here, I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure that happens.” New pathway When Hammond took the helm in April, he began rebranding the organization and refining its message to better define its role within the community. “We’ve had some really good peaks and then some small dips. But that’s life as a nonprofit,” Hammond said. Hammond’s background as a pastor, combined with a lifelong passion for woodworking, made Friends of the Carpenter fit like a glove. A cornerstone of Friends of the Carpenter is its woodworking shop, where people of all ages and backgrounds can gain skills in carpentry and other trades. The program serves a myriad group — students eager to explore science, technology, engineering and math, as well as adults interested in honing their woodworking expertise. Looking ahead, Hammond plans to expand the program in 2025 with the introduction of a makers’ program, which is still in its early stages. “It’s going to be for people coming from socially excluded spaces,” Hammond said. “This will be for those who have lived experiences, whether that’s on the streets, from communities of color, or the queer community — people who want a traditional pathway to woodworking but may not have opportunities in other settings.” Hammond is also working to secure funding to bring in guest instructors from these communities. The nonprofit recently purchased a CNC machine, which is computer operated and can be used to cut, print and create goods. In addition to the woodworking program, the organization runs a day center that provides meals, a safe place to hang out, showers and a laundry room. Currently, these services are available three days a week, but Hammond’s goal for next year is to extend them to five days, which will require additional funding and volunteer support. A safe place to be Nancy Cralley’s fingers gently traced the intricate details of a piece of wood she crafted with a friend to look like a lighthouse. Its smooth surface is a testament to her hours of careful work. Cralley, 82, began visiting the nonprofit a couple of years ago. Initially, she would drop off her son. But after a few visits, she realized it could be a good fit for her, too. Now, the two regularly visit to enjoy arts and crafts, morning devotions and meals. “This is a venue where everyone is welcome,” Cralley said. “It’s a place for people, like my son, to come and make friends and a place for homeless people to go during the day. It gives people pleasure and a purpose.” Staff and volunteers say they strive to create a warm and welcoming place for all guests. “We make sure people are seen and heard,” Program Coordinator Danielle Gain said. “We greet people by their first names and make sure they feel important and wanted. This place is a safe space for people to come, hang out and get resources.” While chatting with The Columbian, a man walked in looking for a program that wasn’t offered that day. But staff member Stacy Price still warmly welcomed him to the day center to grab a bite to eat and coffee. Later, the man was found sipping a warm cup of coffee and chatting with others in the day center. “We want to make sure that people feel welcomed, safe and included. We do not want faith-based equaling hate or exclusion. We want faith-based equaling love and inclusion,” Hammond said. “We want to be able to make this a space for everybody.” This story was made possible by Community Funded Journalism , a project from The Columbian and the Local Media Foundation .

Mariah Carey using artificial intelligence to address her most devoted Spotify fans? The pop diva says that’s just simply fantasy. The “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and “Fantasy” hit maker on Thursday debunked the speculation surrounding her fan message, which made the internet rounds amid Spotify’s annual Wrapped campaign earlier this week. In brief videos shared via Spotify, Carey and other artists including Kali Uchis and Taylor Swift thanked their top fans on the streaming platform for their support. In Carey’s fan message, which some users reposted to X (formerly Twitter), the singer tells her fan base — a.k.a. lambs — “your support throughout the years is the greatest gift I can ask for.” In the video, Carey sits still on a dimly lighted set in front of Christmas trees and wearing her signature Santa Claus-inspired dress. The video quickly sparked AI speculation on social media. “THIS HAS TO BE AI,” one user tweeted on Wednesday. While other fans echoed suspicions of AI use and joked about the singer’s stiff demeanor (“blink twice if ur ok, ” a user wrote), others seemingly took a closer look at the pop star’s face — particularly her eyes. One user on Thursday wrote that the singer was “definitely reading off a teleprompter” in her video. The Grammy winner finally took matters into her own hands Thursday evening and revealed the culprits behind her bizarre video. “Bad lighting and a red lip have you all thinking this is AI??” Carey tweeted . “There’s a reason I’m not a fan of either of those things,” she said before touting the next stop on her annual Christmas tour. The self-appointed Queen of Christmas, who stopped by the Hollywood Bowl in November, celebrates the 30th anniversary of her album “Merry Christmas” this year. The LP included her infectious holiday hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which has consistently climbed the charts since 2019. In October, Carey told Times critic Mikael Wood that “it’s happened so many times that I’m thrilled.” “And should it happen again, I would be even more thrilled,” she added. Though Carey might be most known for her Christmas classic, she encouraged her top Spotify fans — suspicious of AI use or not — to keep an eye out this week for more. “I can’t wait to share new music with you soon,” she said.

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has called for a thorough revamp of Nigeria’s education system to bridge the gap between academic institutions and the demands of the industrial sector. The governor made the call in a statement issued on Saturday in Maiduguri by his spokesman, Dauda Iliya, following a courtesy visit by the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, Mr Akintunde Sawyerr, at the Government House. Zulum expressed deep concern over the rising number of graduates lacking the critical skills needed to drive innovation and technological progress. He emphasised the urgent need for reforms to empower graduates with practical abilities that promote self-reliance and reduce dependency on limited job opportunities. “We have two major problems in our educational system: the mismatch between educational institutions and industries, as they do not communicate effectively, and the mismatch between the labour market and graduates, many of whom are unprepared to work in the industries,” Zulum said. The governor urged NELFUND to play a pivotal role in addressing these challenges by supporting entrepreneurship, technical education, and vocational training. “Beyond offering loans, I urge you to explore ways to support entrepreneurship education and promote technical and vocational training to reduce the reluctance toward these critical areas of study,” he added. Related News Customs blame insecurity for fuel smuggling in Borno Governors, lawmakers commit to constitutional amendment, education reforms Borno, UNICEF begin campaign to end open defecation Commending President Bola Tinubu for establishing NELFUND, Zulum highlighted its potential to significantly reduce illiteracy, particularly in the North East. He also pledged to involve local government chairmen, traditional rulers, and other stakeholders in raising awareness about the fund, emphasising its value for underprivileged students pursuing higher education. “I have held discussions with heads of tertiary institutions since you assumed office, and reports indicate that a significant number of students who applied for NELFUND loans received them with ease,” Zulum said. Earlier, Sawyerr outlined the mission of NELFUND, stressing its commitment to tackling the financial difficulties forcing many students to drop out of school. He noted that the fund offers interest-free loans, with repayment set at 10 per cent of the recipient’s income once they secure employment. (NAN)Former Tulane quarterback Darian Mensah has already found a new program in Duke, while Mississippi State's Michael Van Buren Jr., Wisconsin's Braedyn Locke and Cal's Fernando Mendoza are exploring changes of their own in the transfer portal. Mensah, a redshirt freshman with three years of eligibility remaining, told ESPN on Wednesday he has transferred to Duke. He attended the Blue Devils men's basketball game against Incarnate Word on Tuesday night. The Blue Devils (9-3) will face Mississippi in the Gator Bowl, but without 2024 starting quarterback Maalik Murphy and backup Grayson Loftis, who also entered the portal. Mensah, viewed as one of the top players in the portal, threw for 2,723 yards and 22 touchdowns and completed 65.9% of his passes. He led the Green Wave to a 9-4 record and the American Athletic Conference championship game, where they lost 35-14 to Army. Tulane will play Florida in the Gasparilla Bowl on Sunday. Van Buren, Mendoza and Locke announced on social media they had entered the portal. Van Buren started eight games as a true freshmen for the Bulldogs. He threw for 1,886 yards on 55% passing with 16 total touchdowns and seven interceptions for the Bulldogs (2-10, 0-8 Southeastern Conference). He took over as the starter when Blake Shapen suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in a 45-28 loss to Florida on Sept. 21. Shapen has said he plans to return next season. Van Buren, a 6-foot-1, 200-pound passer from St. Frances Academy in Maryland, had two 300-yard performances for the Bulldogs, including 306 yards and three touchdown passes in a 41-31 road loss against Georgia. Mendoza threw for 3,004 yards in 2024 with 16 TDs, six interceptions and a 68.7 completion percentage. "For the sake of my football future this is the decision I have reached," he posted. Locke passed for 1,936 yards with 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions for Wisconsin this season. He said he will have two years of eligibility remaining at his next school. ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan cornerback Will Johnson has joined defensive tackle Mason Graham in the NFL draft. Johnson declared for the draft on Wednesday, one day after Graham decided he would also skip his senior season with the Wolverines. Both preseason All-America players are expected to be first-round picks. Johnson was limited to six games this year due to an injury. He had two interceptions, returning them both for touchdowns to set a school record with three scores off interceptions. Johnson picked off nine passes in three seasons. Graham played in all 12 games this season, finishing with 3 1/2 sacks and seven tackles for losses. He had 18 tackles for losses, including nine sacks, in his three-year career. Tennessee running back Dylan Sampson is The Associated Press offensive player of the year in the Southeastern Conference and South Carolina defensive lineman Kyle Kennard is the top defensive player. Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia was voted the top newcomer on Wednesday while the Gamecocks' Shane Beamer is coach of the year in voting by the panel of 17 media members who cover the league. Sampson led the SEC and set school records by rushing for 1,485 yards and 22 touchdowns. He is tied for third nationally in rushing touchdowns, recording the league's fifth-most in a season. Sampson was chosen on all but two ballots. Mississippi wide receiver Tre Harris and his quarterback, Jaxson Dart, each got a vote. Kennard led the SEC with 11-1/2 sacks and 15-1/2 tackles for loss. He also had 10 quarterback hurries and forced three fumbles. Beamer led the Gamecocks to just their fifth nine-win season, including a school-record four wins over Top 25 opponents. They've won their last six games and ended the regular season with a win over eventual ACC champion Clemson. South Carolina plays Illinois on Dec. 31 in the Citrus Bowl. Pavia helped lead Vandy to its first bowl game since 2018 after transferring from New Mexico State. He passed for 2,133 yards and 17 touchdowns with four interceptions. He ran for another 716 yards and six touchdowns, directing an upset of Alabama. AMES, Iowa — Matt Campbell, who led Iowa State to its first 10-win season and became the program's all-time leader in coaching victories, has agreed to an eight-year contract that would keep him with the Cyclones through 2032. University president Wendy Wintersteen and athletic director Jamie Pollard made the announcement Wednesday, four days after the Cyclones lost to Arizona State in the Big 12 championship game. “Given all the uncertainty currently facing college athletics, it was critical that we moved quickly to solidify the future of our football program,” Pollard said. “Matt is the perfect fit for Iowa State University and I am thrilled he wants to continue to lead our program. Leadership continuity is essential to any organization’s long-term success." The Cyclones won their first seven games for their best start since 1938 and are 10-3 heading into their game against Miami in the Pop Tarts Bowl in Orlando, Florida, on Dec. 28.
