There are at least 3 new holidays that kids will get off for in the Williamsville School District and you may not have ever heard of them before. The kids and teachers will get off on these 3 days off and they started these new days off in September 2024. All 3 of the Williamsville schools will have these days off: Diwali (November 1) January 29, Asian Lunar New Year June 6, Eid al-Adh (mid June) Though, it is important to note that these "school holidays" will be marked as "superintendent's conference days." In addition, most schools in New York State will have coming up on April 8 for the solar eclipse. People in the community have been reacting positively on social media.

Elway said Nix, the sixth passer selected in April's draft, is an ideal fit in Denver with coach Sean Payton navigating his transition to the pros and Vance Joseph's defense serving as a pressure release valve for the former Oregon QB. "We've seen the progression of Bo in continuing to get better and better each week and Sean giving him more each week and trusting him more and more to where last week we saw his best game of the year," Elway said in a nod to Nix's first game with 300 yards and four touchdown throws in a rout of Atlanta. For that performance, Nix earned his second straight NFL Rookie of the Week honor along with the AFC Offensive Player of the Week award. "I think the sky's the limit," Elway said, "and that's just going to continue to get better and better." In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, Elway also touted former coach Mike Shanahan's Hall of Fame credentials, spoke about the future of University of Colorado star and Heisman favorite Travis Hunter and discussed his ongoing bout with a chronic hand condition. Elway spent the last half of his decade as the Broncos' GM in a futile search for a worthy successor to Peyton Manning, a pursuit that continued as he transitioned into a two-year consultant role that ended after the 2022 season. "You have all these young quarterbacks and you look at the ones that make it and the ones that don't and it's so important to have the right system and a coach that really knows how to tutelage quarterbacks, and Sean's really good at that," Elway said. "I think the combination of Bo's maturity, having started 61 games in college, his athletic ability and his knowledge of the game has been such a tremendous help for him,'" Elway added. "But also Vance Joseph's done a heck of a job on the defensive side to where all that pressure's not being put on Bo and the offense to score all the time." Payton and his staff have methodically expanded Nix's repertoire and incorporated his speed into their blueprints. Elway lauded them for "what they're doing offensively and how they're breaking Bo into the NFL because it's a huge jump and I think patience is something that goes a long way in the NFL when it comes down to quarterbacks." Elway said he hopes to sit down with Nix at some point when things slow down for the rookie. Nix, whose six wins are one more than Elway had as a rookie, said he looks forward to meeting the man who won two Super Bowls during his Hall of Fame playing career and another from the front office. "He's a legend not only here for this organization, but for the entire NFL," Nix said, adding, "most guys, they would love to have a chat with John Elway, just pick his brain. It's just awesome that I'm even in that situation." Orange Crush linebacker Randy Gradishar joined Elway in the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year, something Elway called "way, way overdue." Elway suggested it's also long past time for the Hall to honor Shanahan, who won back-to-back Super Bowls in Denver with Elway at QB and whose footprint you see every weekend in the NFL because of his expansive coaching tree. Elway called University of Colorado stars Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders "both great athletes." He said he really hopes Sanders gets drafted by a team that will bring him along like the Broncos have done with Nix, and he sees Hunter being able to play both ways in the pros — but not full time. Elway said he thinks Hunter will be primarily a corner in the NFL but with significant contributions on offense: "He's great at both. He's got great instincts, and that's what you need at corner." It's been five years since Elway announced he was dealing with Dupuytren's contracture, a chronic condition that typically appears after age 40 and causes one or more fingers to permanently bend toward the palm. Elway's ring fingers on both hands were originally affected and he said now the middle finger on his right hand is starting to pull forward. So, he'll get another injection of a drug called Xiaflex, which is the only FDA-approved non-surgical treatment, one that he's endorsing in an awareness campaign for the chronic condition that affects 17 million Americans. The condition can make it difficult to do everyday tasks such as shaking hands or picking up a coffee mug. Elway said what bothered him most was "I couldn't pick up a football and I could not imagine not being able to put my hand around a football."

The Nittany Lions (6-0), who will play either San Francisco or Clemson for the tournament title on Tuesday, put four other players in double figures. Zach Hicks scored 16 points, while Puff Johnson added 15. Ace Baldwin and Yanic Konan Niederhauser each chipped in 12 points. Penn State sank nearly 53 percent of its field goal attempts and earned a 38-30 advantage on the boards, more than enough to offset missing 12 of its 32 foul shots. Four players reached double figures for the Rams (3-4), led by 15 points apiece from Jackie Johnson III and reserve Joshua Rivera. Romad Dean and Jahmere Tripp each added 13. Fordham was as close as 56-49 after Tripp made a layup with 14:25 left in the game. But the Nittany Lions responded with a 16-1 run, capped with a layup by Kern for a 22-point lead at the 9:33 mark, and they never looked back. The main storyline prior to tipoff was whether Penn State could continue its torrid early start that saw it come into the day leading Division I in steals and ranked second in scoring at 98.2 points per game. The Nittany Lions certainly played to their billing for most of the first half, establishing a 21-8 lead at the 10:08 mark via Hicks' three-point play. Fordham predictably struggled early with the pressure defense, committing four turnovers in the first four minutes. But the Rams got their bearings over the last 10 minutes and made some shots. They got as close as four on two occasions late in the half before Penn State pushed the lead to 42-34 at the half. The officials were busy in the half, calling 23 fouls and administering 27 free throws. --Field Level Mediaokbet 888 login 。

The Rockcliffe Park Residents Association has lost its bid to block the construction of a Cloverdale Road home that it calls “too big and too modern” for the heritage district. The home is to be built at 480 Cloverdale Rd., pictured on Saturday, Nov. 23, 2024. Photo by Ashley Fraser / Postmedia Scott Heatherington, president of the Rockcliffe Park Residents Association (RPRA), said the association has sought leave to appeal the decision to the Court of Appeal of Ontario. “The RPRA is committed to upholding the Rockcliffe Park Heritage Conservation District’s legal protection under the Ontario Heritage Act,” he said in an email. The association contends the judge erred in his interpretation of the act. The owner of 480 Cloverdale Rd., Ottawa homebuilder Jianbin Wang, first applied for a permit to build a new home on the empty lot in October 2021.

Article content City staff, however, expressed concern that a proposed north wing would not be compatible with a neighbouring home designated as a “Grade 1” property, meaning it contributes to Rockcliffe Park’s heritage value. Wang submitted a revised plan, but the built heritage committee and city council rejected it because staff’s concerns had not been met. In April 2023, Wang again applied for a building permit based on a new home design. His application included a heritage impact assessment that concluded the proposed home has a “modest street face” that would not overwhelm his neighbour’s property. The Rockcliffe Park Residents Association has lost its latest bid to stop the construction of a new home at 280 Cloverdale Road that it considers too big and too modern. Photo by LINEBOX STUDIO / HANDOUT Staff endorsed the new plan, which features a series of “linked pods” designed to accommodate three generations of the Wang family. “While the building is significantly larger than the neighbouring Grade 1 property, it is important to note that the property is also significantly larger,” the staff report concluded. The built heritage committee approved the new design, and city council granted Wang a building permit in July 2023. The Rockcliffe Park Residents Association, which had opposed the permit, sought judicial review of council’s decision.

Article content The association argued city staff and the heritage committee failed to properly apply the mandatory provisions of the Rockcliffe Park Heritage Plan, which, among other things, imposes restrictions on the height, mass and materials of new buildings, and requires that they be “consistent” with nearby Grade 1 homes. It argued the height and volume limits in the plan are legal constraints that the city could not simply ignore in approving Wang’s house. Wang’s proposed house is about 3.5 times the volume of his neighbour’s home at 284 Cloverdale Rd., and about twice the size of its footprint. The Divisional Court panel said city officials considered the massing of the home, and came to the reasonable conclusion it was “consistent” with its neighbour given the lot’s larger size. The panel noted the Rockcliffe heritage plan “does not say that new homes can never exceed the height or volume of neighbours’ houses,” and does not amount to “a mathematical prohibition.” It said new homes must be judged in context, and assessed as to whether they’re “sympathetic to the character of their historic neighbours in terms of massing, height and materials.” The panel concluded the city’s decision was fair and reasonable.

The 54-year-old Prison Break star's father tragically died in April, while his mother passed away in February 2020. On Monday, the actor took to social media and expressed his heartbreak over the loss of his dad seven months on. 'Dad. A wise gentle humble man. Just a big Shout out to ya mate miss ya heaps. You were flying then boom gone. Just so fucked up,' he wrote alongside a photo of the two together. '2024 what a f**kin mess. F**k off.' Just weeks earlier, Dominic grieved the loss of his mother, who'd previously undergone a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer .

Love you mum,' he captioned his post. Dominic's father died aged 80 in April, two weeks after being admitted to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin with unspecified health issues. Posting a photo of himself and wife Tish Cyrus, 57, posing with his late father, Dominic penned a lengthy caption honouring his father's legacy as a 'deeply respected' patriarch . 'My dad passed tonight', he began, before praising the medical professionals who tended to Joseph during his stint in hospital. 'For what's it's worth. As a father I believe the greatest gift he can receive from his child is the knowing he is deeply loved. Deeply respected,' he continued. 'Surely a father's only wish for his child is to grow, flourish and better him. That was his wish. It came true. I know very clearly I can not better him but I can try and be like him.' Dominic also spoke fondly of Tish's close relationship with her father-in-law, writing: 'To my beautiful wife. It's very easy to love you. It's a simple thing.' 'The connection and deep love you had for my dad, and he for you, (the both of you) was magnificent. 'As he said, "What did I do to deserve these two beautiful angels?",' he wrote.

They brought him peace in his final hours. It was a beautiful gesture. Thank you.' Continuing his gut-wrenching essay, Dominic then praised Joseph for showing 'courage, dignity and stoicism' in the face of 'great pain'. Dominic said he hopes Joseph's strength, dignity and humility will be honoured by his father's many grandchildren. 'VIVAMUS, MORIENDUM EST. (Let us live, since we must die). Go with mum, dad. Your loving son Dom,' he concluded. Tish was quick to express her heartbreak in the comments, revealing the origin of the happy family snap Dominic had used in his post. 'The day this picture was taken was one of the best days of my life. Dom and I got our marriage license and then walked down Sunset Blvd with Joe,' wrote Tish, who wed Dominic last year. 'He was so happy and full of life. It's a day I'll never forget. To know Joe was to love him. The kindest most gentle soul I will ever know. Being loved by him is something I'll never take for granted.' In 2020, The Flash star paid tribute to his 'extraordinary' mother, Maureen, after she passed away.

'She was a beautiful human, cool as f**k and a real beauty,' he said of Maureen. After sharing a special moment from her life where she wagged school to meet The Beatles and 'flirted' with John Lennon, he went on to reveal the sacrifices she'd made for her family. 'A single mum, five kids, no money. Worked two jobs, one cleaning toilets. A woman that sacrificed so much so we could eat and play without fear,' he wrote. He explained it was his mum who taught him what really mattered in life - 'unconditional love' and how to be a man. 'She taught me what it is to be a man - the true essence of masculinity. No muscles, no posturing. No violence. Just a simple instinctive need to provide, to protect and love my own babies as she did us,' he said. 'You did it, mum. A giant in life. A giant in greatness. You had the last laugh, hey mum, cheeky,' he concluded.

Motoring Don't miss out on the headlines from Motoring. Followed categories will be added to My News. The Australian electric vehicle market has seen an influx of affordable models from newer Chinese automakers priced significantly lower than those from established brands. New research reveals that while they may be cheaper, they could cost owners more to insure and repair. Data from Compare the Market shows comprehensive insurance for EVs is on average 43 per cent more expensive than petrol-powered vehicles. Tesla Model 3 will set owners back thousands in insurance in comparison to the Audi A3 sedan. Picture: Camber Collective MORE : Next-gen electric ute confirmed Compare the Market economic director David Koch said the top five best-selling EVs in Australia were more expensive to insure than traditional alternatives. “Across the top five best-selling EVs and 12 car insurance providers, motorists could be spending between $98 to $1,788 more to comprehensively insure an EV every year – which may diminish some of the benefits of reduced running costs,” he said. The study compared the top five selling EVs with cars from Toyota, Audi, Mazda and Hyundai, using quotes from 12 insurers for a 34-year-old Brisbane man with a clean driving record. Research revealed the Tesla Model Y RWD costs $3,434.98 annually to insure, nearly 97 per cent more than the Toyota RAV4 Cruiser 2WD at $1,744.95. Sedan-wise, the Tesla Model 3 RWD will set you back an average $3,888.55 in comparison to the Audi A3 which costs an average of $2,101.04. MORE : Aussie EV push backfires While you may pay higher premiums for some Chinese EVs, quotes from NRMA reveal Chinese-made XPeng G6 and Zeekr X are priced $54,800 and $56,900 and are on par with petrol-powered SUVs, with an annual insurance costs of $2,017 and $2,043. Koch believes the discrepancy is due to the specialised technology used in EVs. “EVs are generally more expensive to insure because the battery pack creates more complexity for repairers, many EV-specific parts need to be imported from overseas, and there are fewer qualified smash repairers for electric cars,” he said. MORE : MG’s Cyberster electric sports car The report also found that hybrids are more expensive to insure than petrol-powered vehicles with comprehensive car insurance at average 5 per cent pricier. To encourage EV adoption, Koch has called on insurers to offer “green discounts”. “Just like banks and lenders have started offering green car loans, it would be great to see insurers adopt some green discounts for electric car premiums. “For now, the best way to ensure you’re getting a good deal is to compare. No matter if it’s your car insurance or electricity plan, there are options out there. Don’t park yourself into higher prices,” he said. Despite higher insurance costs, Koch said the research shows that EVs may be an affordable option long-term. For instance, EV owners in Brisbane could save up to $1,536 annually on running costs compared to petrol car owners, while Sydney drivers could save around $897. “There’s a misconception that EVs are more expensive to run,” he said. “While this may be true in some aspects, such as comprehensive car insurance costs, significant savings in fuel and loan repayments do more than offset these expenses.” Originally published as Chinese EVs more affordable but owners may face costly surprises More related stories Motoring News $93k EV ute back after dud first reveal EV utes are in hot demand in Australia but questions whether this brand can successfully relaunch itself after a dud launch is on everyone’s minds.

NoneUCF will attempt to shake off a dreadful offensive performance when it collides with LSU on Sunday afternoon in the third-place game of the Greenbrier Tip-Off in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. The Knights (4-1) couldn't get anything going against No. 19 Wisconsin on Friday, going 21-for-62 from the field (33.9 percent) and just 2-for-17 from 3-point range (11.8 percent) en route to an 86-70 loss. Jordan Ivy-Curry finished with 13 points while Keyshawn Hall and Dior Johnson added 11 apiece for UCF, which never led and fell behind by as many as 23. Knights coach Johnny Dawkins is hoping that his team's struggles don't carry over into the meeting with the Tigers (4-1). "We have to do better offensively," Dawkins said. "We have to space the floor better. We have to balance our offense between our perimeter and our bigs. Those are things that we didn't do consistently (on Friday)." LSU also needs to clean things up after committing 15 turnovers in a 74-63 setback against Pitt on Friday. Tigers forward Jalen Reed doesn't believe giving the ball away will be a lingering issue. "I feel like a lot of our turnovers were more on us than them," Reed said. "I feel like a lot of the turnovers were careless, but we're a better team than that and I feel like we'll take care of the ball better moving forward." Reed and Vyctorius Miller each posted 14 points in the loss to the Panthers, with Reed also hauling in seven rebounds. Cam Carter chipped in 11 points. Carter is putting up a team-leading 16.4 points per game. Jordan Sears (12.0 points per game), Reed (11.0) and Miller (10.2) also have scoring averages in double figures.

You were elected to the WA Parliament in 2013, as the 23rd Irish-born MP in WA. What’s something distinctly Irish that you might have brought to the Parliament? I’m the first Irish-born WA MP in about 50 years. I was an Irish dancer (in Ireland) and sang Irish songs. I brought renewed enthusiasm for Irish culture to the WA Parliament. For example, we have a St Patrick’s event at Parliament every year now. You’re an openly gay politician. Has that presented any challenges during your parliamentary career? No, it hasn’t. I’ve been lucky, I’ve never been bullied openly. But I know members of my community have been. You came out in your late teens. Was that tough, coming out to your Irish Catholic family? It was. It was a challenge in the early days. It surprised my parents. They felt saddened because they didn’t think I would get the same opportunities as the rest of my siblings, like having a family. They were worried I wouldn’t be treated the same in society. It was harder for my mum. She worried about my future. We are a very close-knit family. They are very supportive. You are married to Dennis, who was the campaign co-ordinator for the WA Voice Yes campaign in WA. Two words to describe your husband. My rock. In fact, you’ve married Dennis three times. I’m probably the only person who has married the same person three times. We did it once in Ireland in 2012, when Ireland allowed Irish people to have a civil union. Then we did it in 2013 in Canberra. It (marriage) stood for six days in Canberra (because of the High Court challenge). And so, we did it again when Australia eventually voted to allow marriage equality in 2018. Dennis and I joke that our marriage in Canberra was at least longer than one of Brittany Spears’ weddings. You and Dennis are parents to a little boy, Jasper, who is 10. Is being a dad what you thought it would be? It’s been amazing. He is a delightful child and a loving individual. Jasper changed our lives immeasurably. I love being a parent. We co-parent with his mother. We share the parenting. He has a big Rainbow family, lot of parents, lots of grandparents, and lots of love. You were born in Dublin and emigrated to Australia in 1989 aged 14 with your mother and father, Phyllis and Noel, and sisters Mairead and Brid and brother Cormac. What was your first impressions of your new Aussie mates? It was like moving to the set of Home and Away. In Ireland I went to a Christian Brothers school which was very strict. To then go to Hollywood Senior High School in Perth was like being in Home and Away. Surfboards. Blokes with long hair, skateboards. But everyone was welcoming. I’m told you initially wanted to be an actor after leaving school. I did. I did some television ads and was in a miniseries for Channel 7. I won’t mention which one in case people track it down. I haven’t given up (on being an actor yet). They are always looking for Irish actors in shows. I’m available! Favourite actor? I love Morgan Freeman. I didn’t mind Arnold Schwarzenegger as well. I loved the way he said ‘I’ll be back’. You joined a union at age 14 working at Hungry Jack’s. Perhaps you were always destined to be a Labor politician? Probably. Dad was a shop steward in Ireland. I’d always been conscious of what unions deliver for working families. I joined the Labor Party in 1995. I was a candidate in 2008 for the Upper House and then in 2013 (former Labor minister) Jon Ford — who I had previously worked for — stepped down and I replaced him. You were Aboriginal Affairs Minister for nine months in 2021. The rollout of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act in 2023 was a disaster. Why do you think that was the case? We got it wrong. The community wasn’t on side, and we made a decision to overturn it. Hindsight is a great thing. As the now Minister for Emergency Services, how worried are you about the upcoming bushfire season? This keeps me awake at night. Things sit in my conscience. I want to make sure our volunteers and our career fire fighters have the best equipment available. Equally, I want the community to do what they can do. We will have some significant fires this season, we will have some cyclones in the North West and floods. Joe Spagnolo When do the two extra Black Hawk helicopters and the Large aerial tanker arrive? Within next two weeks. You are a bit of a Mr Fix-It, you’ve been given a few portfolios. I’m hearing there may be a change in Health after the election? Interested? I serve at the pleasure of the Premier. I take whatever job I’m given. Amber’s done a great job in health. You are the member for Mining and Pastoral. What’s the biggest issue facing your electorate? Access to quality services. My electorate is far away from Perth, we don’t have the same access to doctors and medical specialists as you do in the city. So it’s really important we use things like technology to be able to link the citizens of my electorate with medical services. Two Indigenous boys have died while in prison under Labor’s watch. How do you react to that? Suicide is a tragedy. Some of these kids don’t have a chance from when they are born. So, it’s about trying to do all you can to put them on a right path and giving them the right support. Mental health treatment is really important. Number one issue this election? Ensuring that all West Australians are benefiting from our economy. Why do you think Labor will win a third term of government? I wouldn’t be so bold as to say Labor will win a third term, but we have been a very good team. We have delivered across the State in a range of areas. Do you want Anthony Albanese to go to the polls before or after the WA election in March? That’s a decision for the Prime Minister. We will run our own race in Western Australia. Describe Roger Cook. Team Player. Quality leader. Libby Mettam or Basil Zempilas — who would be the most formidable opponent? I think Libby is on borrowed time. I think that there will be a change (in leadership) before the election. We will compete against whoever is the leader. Will you be a career politician? I am here for a good time, not a long time. I am not here forever. I love it, but when I stop loving it, I expect I’ll make a decision.
