AI is a game changer for students with disabilities. Schools are still learning to harness it

Kingston doctor, patient advocate for new anti-seizure medicationBRATTLEBORO — Select Board races are already garnering a lot of interest. "I can't recall ever seeing six new potential candidates for Select Board this early before the deadline, and that’s before any incumbents have indicated whether they are running or not," said Tim Wessel, former board member and potential candidate. "I think it's healthy for local democracy, since there's a potential to see three-fifths of the board replaced with new faces." As of about 2:30 p.m. Monday, Oscar Heller, Cristina Shay-Onye, Jill Stahl Tyler and Wessel had petitions out for a three-year seat opening up in March. Amanda Ellis-Thurber, Isaac Evans-Frantz, Shay-Onye and Wessel had petitions out for two one-year seats. None had submitted signed petitions yet. Town Clerk Hilary Francis said the two residents with petitions for both seats only intend to run for one of them. "They are simply undecided at this point about which term they will seek," she said. Asked if it's unusual to see so much activity this early on, Francis said she doesn't know if she would say the timing is unusual. "Petitions are available starting in December and must be returned by Jan. 27," she said. "Candidates have historically taken petitions out throughout that time, some earlier and some later." Select Board Chairman Daniel Quipp, whose three-year seat is expiring, said he won't be running for reelection. "I’ve been proud to serve and I feel like it is time to step away from this role and focus on my employment," he said. "I hope that we have an excellent field of candidates to choose from." Board member Franz Reichsman said the race is "definitely heating up early." "It's great," he said. "I keep telling them, 'Run.' I think I'm doing the town a service by telling them to run." Reichsman, who holds a one-year seat, hasn't decided if he'll be running again. "We'll see how this budget plays out," he said. "I think what we're looking at going into the future, what the process reveals, there's a lot of question marks at this point. And I'm old. I'll be 75 soon." Reichsman recalled very little competition in some years. "Sure, it's the number of candidates but also to what extent are there going to be real electioneering efforts, real campaigns, to turn out the voters?" he said, expecting the recently overturned Acceptable Community Conduct Ordinance and downtown safety to be central issues in the races. "Will there be different numbers of people who appeal to different groups and sort of end up splitting the vote especially for the one-year seats? So lots of interesting questions." Shay-Onye, who didn't immediately respond to a request for comment, submitted the petition prompting a special Representative Town Meeting this month to undo the ordinance. Evans-Frantz also expressed opposition to the ordinance. Affordability was a big part of Ellis-Thurber's unsuccessful campaign to unseat State Rep. Emilie Kornheiser, D-Windham-7, in the August primary. Tyler supported the campaign and is the director of Community House. "After listening to neighbors during my campaigning for the primary," Ellis-Thurber said, "I learned that people feel comfortable discussing issues on their mind and see me as a leader who can listen to all perspectives and find middle ground. I would like to serve on our town Select Board to give back to our community." Ellis-Thurber said she would "most especially work together to increase our community’s quality of life and lower their cost of living while supporting community revitalization projects and initiatives towards building a healthy town." Board member Richard Davis plans to run again. He said he hasn't decided whether to seek another year or three years. On Dec. 14, Evans-Frantz stood with supporters in front of the Post Office on Main Street to announce his campaign. "During the coming difficult years,” Evans-Frantz said at the event, according to a news release, “Brattleboro needs a new leader who will stand up for all of us." With a potential 22 percent increase in the municipal budget, Evans-Frantz said, "most of our incomes are not increasing by anywhere near this amount." "In a year where calls to the police for serious crime increased by 16 percent, the Select Board passed an ordinance that would fine building owners when some residents report crimes," he said. "The current Select Board, left unchecked, risks making life harder — and less safe — for people in Brattleboro." Evans-Frantz, who was born and raised in Brattleboro, is director of the national Action Corps organization. He unsuccessfully ran against U.S. Sen. Peter Welch in the 2022 primary election and served as a youth member of the Vermont State Board of Education. “My vision for Brattleboro includes a safe and vibrant downtown where residents and visitors alike feel welcome and comfortable,” Evans-Frantz said. “By working together across our differences to address people’s needs – including those of both business owners and the 3 percent of the town experiencing homelessness – we can build a better future for our town.” A key reason Heller ran last year was his worry about the budget and the town's budgeting process. "This year, faced with a choice between a 22 percent property tax increase and cuts to key services, I feel even more strongly about it," he said. "The current board is going through a tough time trying to create a sustainable budget, and, if I’m elected, I believe I’d be a valuable part of that process. There are lots of other things I’m excited about, new ideas to try, creative ways to grow and thrive and lift up the whole community, but I think step one has to be getting our feet back under us." Heller currently chairs the Representative Town Meeting Finance Committee. He said he's been involved in local politics since 2017. With every passing year, Heller said, he feels "more passionate about being involved in and contributing to our town. I want to be on the Select Board to work on the big questions, but also because I love the idea of being in a position to help my neighbors with their everyday problems." Tyler said she's concerned about Brattleboro, and her parents always said, "Don't complain. Be part of the solution." "I believe in Brattleboro’s future and the many positive things we have here. I want to help us all move forward," Tyler said. Her administrative background gives her "insights and people skills that can help navigate Brattleboro’s current challenges," she said. She noted her "experience and knowledge of how an elected board functions and the ability to build consensus." "I’ve been deeply involved in community activities, volunteering and serving on boards, including as chair of the town school board for five years," she said. "I am currently the executive director of a nonprofit [Community House], and have run my own small business in international dairy education for about 30 years." Wessel said he's running because he's "tired of a small but vocal minority telling those of us that live and work downtown that the problems we see with our own eyes aren’t real, and preventing the board from taking action to help us." "I also think the board needs my voice for fiscal discipline — the recent rise in municipal taxes is unacceptable," he said. "Voters know me and the sensible leadership I provided for six years on the board, and I trust they will see the value in returning me to the Select Board."

NYC couple netted $2M in massive mob-style theft ring that targeted luxury brands: DAMAURA Higgins broke down in tears over facing her fears on I'm A Celebrity. The former Love Island finalist was sent to face the next Bushtucker Trial alongside our very own Jane Moore. Maura , 34, was one of two stars who were chosen by viewers to face 'Fright at the end of the tunnel' . Our Jane, 62, also learned that she received the most votes from the public and would face the challenge alongside the Dancing On Ice competitor. It seemed their fellow campmates had high hoped for the pair to get stars and bring home meals for camp. Fellow Loose Women star GK Barry even claimed that our jungle supremo Jane even 'wanted' to do one of the infamous trials. Her colleague commented: "This woman is going to sleep so peacefully tonight, she’s wanted to do a Trial since she got here and I know she’s gonna absolutely smash it." However, whilst Jane displayed her nerves of steel, former Dancing On Ice star Maura was feeling differently. The nervous star admitted: “I’m petrified, I just don’t want to let everyone down.” Ant and Dec were waiting for the pair at the trial clearing where he reflected on the Fright Bus the night before. He observed: "You’re probably the screamiest bunch of celebrities we’ve ever had on this show!" The long-time I'm A Celebrity presenting duo then explained the rules of the trial, telling the celebs about the two tunnels. Secret code words were hidden in the tunnel that was above ground and the chosen celebrity would need to find them and read them out. The campmate swimming underwater would have to use the code words to unlock the stars. Maura chose to crawl above ground whilst our Jane took to the water for a swim below ground. They had just 12 minutes to collect 12 stars after the klaxon sounded, as Maura got to work. i'm A Celebrity is back for its 24th series, with a batch of famous faces living in the Aussie jungle. The Sun's Jake Penkethman takes a look at the stars on the show this year.. Coleen Rooney - Arguably the most famous name in the camp, the leading WAG, known for her marriage to Wayne Rooney , has made a grand return to TV as she looks to put the Wagatha Christie scandal behind her. The Sun revealed the mum-of-four had bagged an eye-watering deal worth over £1.5million to be on the show this year making her the highest-paid contestant ever. Tulisa - The popstar and former X Factor judge has made her triumphant TV comeback by signing up to this year's I'm A Celeb after shunning TV shows for many years. Known for being a member of the trio, N-Dubz, Tulisa became a household name back in 2011 when she signed on to replace Cheryl on ITV show The X Factor in a multi-million pound deal. Alan Halsall - The actor, known for playing the long-running role of Tyrone Dobbs on ITV soap opera Coronation Street, was originally signed up to head Down Under last year but an operation threw his scheduled appearance off-course. Now he has become the latest Corrie star to win over both the viewers and his fellow celebrities. Melvin Odoom - The Radio DJ has become a regular face on TV screens after rising to fame with presenting roles on Kiss FM, BBC Radio 1 and 4Music. Melvin has already been for a spin on the Strictly dancefloor and co-hosted The Xtra Factor with Rochelle Humes in 2015 but now he is facing up to his biggest challenge yet - the Aussie jungle . GK Barry - The UK's biggest social media personality, GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, has transformed her TikTok stardom into a lucrative career. Aside from her popular social media channels, she hosts the weekly podcast, Saving Grace, and regularly appears on ITV talk show, Loose Women. She has even gone on to endorse popular brands such as PrettyLittleThing, KFC and Ann Summers. Dean McCullough - A rising star amongst this year's bunch of celebs , Dean first achieved notability through his radio appearances on Gaydio and BBC Radio 1. He was chosen to join the BBC station permanently in 2021 and has featured prominently ever since. He has enjoyed a crossover to ITV over the past year thanks to his guest slots on Big Brother spin-off show, Late & Live. Oti Mabuse - The pro dancer has signed up to her latest TV show after making her way through the biggest programmes on the box. She originally found fame on Strictly Come Dancing but has since branched out into the world of TV judging with appearances on former BBC show The Greatest Dancer as well as her current role on ITV's Dancing On Ice . Danny Jones - The McFly star was drafted into the programme last minute as a replacement for Tommy Fury. Danny is the second member of McFly to enter the jungle , after Dougie Poynter won the show in 2011. He is also considered a rising star on ITV as he's now one of the mentors on their Saturday night talent show, The Voice , along with bandmate Tom Fletcher. Jane Moore - The Loose Women star and The Sun columnist is braving the creepy crawlies this year. The star is ready for a new challenge - having recently split from her husband . It will be Jane's first foray into reality TV with the telly favourite having always said no to reality shows in the past. Barry McGuigan - Former pro boxer Barry is the latest fighting champ to head Down Under following in the footsteps of Tony Bellew and Amir Khan. It comes after a tough few years for Irish star Barry, who lost his daughter Danika to bowel cancer . He told The Late Late Show in 2021: "She was such an intrinsic part of the family that every day we ache." Maura Higgins - The Irish TV beauty first found fame on Love Island where she found a brief connection with dancer Curtis Pritchard . Since then, she has competed on Dancing On Ice as well as hosting the Irish version of the beauty contest, Glow Up. Since last year, she has been working on building up her career in the US by being the social media correspondent and host of Aftersun to accompany Love Island USA. She even guest hosted an episode of the spin-off, Love Island Games, in place of Maya Jama last year. Rev. Richard Coles - Former BBC radio host the Rev Richard Coles is a late arrival on I’m A Celebrity , and he's ready to spill the beans on his former employer. The former Communards and Strictly star , said the BBC did not know its a**e from its elbow last year. An insider said: "Rev Coles will have a variety of tales to tell from his wild days as a pop star in the Eighties, through to performing on Strictly and his later life as a man of the cloth." She searched through the sand on the floor for each part of the hidden code words. But in each section, she was joined by a series of uninvited guests which included toads, lizards and her biggest fear. She desperately tried to stay strong as she faced her worst nightmare in the form of spiders. Jane's goggles kept steaming up as she valiantly tried to keep her head underwater for the time needed to unlock the stars. I know she’s gonna absolutely smash it. Despite the extremely challenging nature of the trial, the duo still managed to win six out of twelve available stars. The duo also received praise by Ant and Dec who remarked: "That was a very, very tough Trial. "So I think you did remarkably the pair of you, you should both be very proud." On the way back to camp, Maura couldn't hide her emotions as she broke down in tears as Jane comforted her co-star. ITV is logging all votes online at itv.com/vote or you can download the I’m A Celebrity app on your phone. Every time Ant and Dec announce a new trial you can cast five votes. Jane would love you to use all of them to get her another Bushtucker challenge. Later this week, vote to SAVE Jane from eviction. I'm A Celebrity continues on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX .

INDIANAPOLIS – Death. Taxes. And Quenton Nelson. Star running back Jonathan Taylor suggested Thursday the Indianapolis Colts’ All-Pro left guard is one of life’s inevitabilities. A legion of NFL defenders likely would nod in resigned agreement. “Any time backs come in, I always tell them, ‘Listen, when in doubt, you know 5-6 (Nelson’s jersey number) will take you to the light,’” Taylor said. “But what he does is (a result of) preparation throughout the week, what he does in the offseason, his routine in season. He's a true professional, and it shows week in, week out and year after year. So I'm just thankful, and I'm glad that I'm on a team with him.” Nelson played a pivotal role in Sunday’s 38-30 victory against the Tennessee Titans, helping to usher the way for Taylor to gain 218 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. The Colts gained a single-season franchise record 335 total yards on the ground, and Nelson shook off a fourth-quarter ankle injury to return even while many on the sideline suggested he should rest with the game apparently in hand. Nelson again put together a highlight reel of dominant blocks, none more impressive than his effort on quarterback Anthony Richardson’s 5-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. After pulling from his position, Nelson quickly got to the second level in front of Richardson and drove his defender through the back of the end zone. The quarterback essentially jogged into the end zone behind Nelson, untouched and unbothered. "It makes it easier for me,” Richardson said. “I get to see 56 running around. I just get to follow up behind him and let him do his dirty work, and I just follow up and get the touchdown. I get all the credit, but, no, he does all the dirty work for us. So we appreciate that for sure." Nelson emphatically threw his arms up in celebration as Richardson crossed the goal line. That’s also in character for the hulking lineman. He’s almost always the first player to pick up a ball carrier after a run – no matter the distance from the line of scrimmage – and Richardson said Nelson often is happier than the player who scored each time Indianapolis finds the end zone. It’s a mentality Nelson said was installed by former Notre Dame offensive line coach Harry Hiestand, and his joy is the product of a total team effort. “There’s 11 guys doing their job for the common goal of scoring a touchdown and trying to win the game,” Nelson said. “Seeing it come to fruition after all the hard work we put in during the week is awesome.” Guard is far from a glamour position, and it’s not among the most highly valued roles in the NFL. Very few players at the position become stars. But Nelson is on another level. When he was drafted with the sixth overall pick in 2018 after a sterling career for the Fighting Irish, Colts owner Jim Irsay immediately made Hall of Fame comparisons. Nelson has lived up to the high expectations with three first-team All-Pro nods and six Pro Bowl appearances in his first six seasons. He’s one of the most recognizable names on Indianapolis’ roster and a fan favorite. But, despite outside appearances, Nelson’s success was not inevitable. His unmatched drive and work ethic have allowed him to reach the game’s elite levels. “I think his competitive nature that he brings every single day, his toughness, his attitude, his love for the game, and he plays that way,” Colts head coach Shane Steichen said of what sets Nelson apart. “I mean, he shows up for his guys every single day and does it the right way and plays for the guy next to him every single time. “He's got that relentless determination that you want up front. Just a hell of a leader for us. And obviously, when we need a big play, too, a lot of the times he's our lead blocker in those situations.” Tight end Mo Alie-Cox (toe), Richardson (back, foot) and linebacker E.J. Speed (knee) did not practice Thursday. Indianapolis reportedly is optimistic Richardson will be able to play Sunday against the New York Giants. Linebacker Jaylon Carlies (shoulder) and Nelson (ankle) were limited. Cornerback JuJu Brents (knee), cornerback Jaylon Jones (throat), wide receiver Alec Pierce (concussion) and wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (back) were full participants. Safety Raheem Lane (knee), linebacker Micah McFadden (neck), wide receiver Malik Nabers (toe), center John Michael Schmitz (ankle), cornerback Greg Stroman (shoulder, shin), running back Tyrone Tracy (ankle) and wide receiver Dee Williams (toe) did not practice for the Giants. Defensive tackle Cory Durden (shoulder), offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (wrist), quarterback Drew Lock (right shoulder) and offensive guard Greg Van Roten (knee) were limited.
