Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:15:56 GMT

WAKEFIELD – With a roster full of freshmen and sophomores, Northeast Regional coach Don Heres knows he’s fortunate to have senior running back Chris Zullo. And on Saturday, Zullo had a season opener for the record books.Zullo rushed for 311 yards and five touchdowns on 24 carries, while also adding a pair of conversion runs, as the Golden Knights piled up 513 yards of offense and 20 first downs en route to a 62-35 win over Lowell Catholic.The score is a little deceiving. It was only a two-point game (30-28) early in the third quarter before Northeast turned on the jets and pulled away.“Chris is a three-year starter for us and he is just the heart and soul of our team,” Heres said. “He’s been an all-star and has all the intangibles you look for. He represents what our team and school want to be.”Lowell Catholic found itself in a two-touchdown hole before even having a chance to run an offensive play.The Golden Knights took the opening kick and drove 65 yards in just seven...

G20 leaders reach consensus early, softening language on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:15:56 GMT

NEW DELHI — Global economic leaders have agreed on a final declaration at the G20 summit, but the language surrounding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — which is leading to geopolitical tensions — has softened since the leaders last met. The consensus statement from this year’s G20 summit in India was posted by India’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday, a day before the summit ends.It calls for the cessation of military destruction or other attacks on relevant infrastructure, as the violence is impacting food and energy security, and affecting supply chains. Gone is language used during last year’s G20 summit in Bali, where leaders directly called out Russia’s aggression in Ukraine and demanded its troops withdraw from the territory. Senior government officials in Canada said it took months to get the wording where it is, but they wouldn’t say what other countries had also pushed for stronger language.China and Russia, whose leaders both skippe...

Canadian filmmakers hope strike-addled TIFF fosters ‘hunger’ for indie features

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:15:56 GMT

TORONTO — Canadian filmmakers are hoping to draw some of the spotlight at a Toronto International Film Festival dimmed by Hollywood actor and writer strikes.Montreal-based writer-director Chloé Robichaud says she senses greater interest and attention in her francophone feature, “Days of Happiness,” than for films she’s brought to previous TIFFs.She thinks it’s due to the fact fewer Hollywood stars are in town to promote their upcoming films.Meanwhile, actor and producer Devery Jacobs says her queer cheerleading film “Backspot” has sold out all three of its screenings and she suspects the labour protests might have something to do with it.The Mohawk actor, who is a member of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, says she supports the strikes but is happy to be in Toronto to promote a project she helped produce and also stars in.Jacobs says this year’s festival feels different than previous years but sees it as a positive for sm...

Most of West Maui will welcome back visitors next month under a new wildfire emergency proclamation

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:15:56 GMT

HONOLULU (AP) — Most of West Maui will officially reopen to travelers Oct. 8 under a new wildfire emergency proclamation signed on Friday by Hawaii Gov. Josh Green. Nonessential travel to much of the island’s western coastline has been strongly discouraged since devastating wildfires killed at least 115 people in the historic town of Lahaina last month. State tourism officials initially urged travelers to stay away from Maui so residents and agencies could focus on emergency response efforts and supporting those displaced by the fires. In mid-August, officials began encouraging tourists to return to other parts of Maui, avoiding the burn zone and spending money to help the region recover. On Thursday, Green told a meeting of the state Council on Revenues that he expected authorities to reopen most of West Maui to travelers in October, with the exception of the fire-damaged neighborhoods. The area, which includes beach resorts in Kaanapali, north of historic Lahaina, has 11,000...
