Gophers men’s golf: Stillwater native Ben Warian finishes in tie for 11th at NCAA regional to end junior season
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 09:41:36 GMT
Stillwater native Ben Warian carded a 1-over round of 72 on Wednesday to close out the NCAA Bath Regional golf tournament at Eagle Eye Golf Club in Michigan.That put Warian at 4 under for the tournament, good for a tie for 11th overall. Unfortunately for the Hill-Murray grad, that left him three strokes off the lone individual qualifier position to advance to the NCAA Championships, which went to Kansas State’s Luke O’Neill, who tied for second overall in the tournament with a score of 7 under. O’Neill was the top-finishing individual who wasn’t on an advancing team.Georgia’s Ben Van Wyk won the individual tournament with a score of 10 under, which helped power the Bulldogs to the team title, as well. Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Florida and Texas advanced through the regional as teams.So the Gophers junior’s season is over, though there is still plenty of important golf to come. He will compete in a U.S. Open qualifier in early June at a to-be-dete...Student documentary chronicling Central High School graduates’ cycling journey across Europe debuts Friday

At 17, Adam Swanson set out on a two-year bike-packing adventure that was supposed to take him from Amsterdam to Tokyo. Henry Phillips, a childhood friend and fellow St. Paul Central High School graduate, asked to join him, and the two St. Paul teens landed in Europe in the fall of 2021 without so much as a hotel booked, eager to see the world by bicycle.A third childhood friend and longtime camping buddy, William Blackwell Kinney, figured cycling alongside them for a few months would jumpstart his own filmmaking career. Kinney, who had graduated Central a year ahead of the pair, had grown frustrated with his film studies at Emerson College in Boston and wanted to dedicate a gap year to the “Adam & Henry Adventures.”His 42-minute documentary premieres Friday at the Art House North in St. Paul, a repurposed church about a block off West Seventh Street, but be warned — the trio never make it to Tokyo. In fact, after about two months in Europe together, they run i...With monthly rents of $2,300 to $6,900, Marvella senior campus at Highland Bridge caters to choosy seniors

When Doug and Mary Smith looked for senior residences, they and four other couples they’ve known since their kids were in high school together considered Waverly Gardens, Presbyterian Homes’ lakeside senior community near their home in North Oaks.“That’s kind of resort-style senior living,” said Doug Smith, who instead chose to relocate with his friends to St. Paul. “This is more like an urban hotel.”The “this” in question is the Marvella, an upscale, 300-unit, two-building senior campus located on Mount Curve Boulevard, about a block off Ford Parkway in the new Highland Bridge development.With monthly rents ranging from $2,300 for a 700-square-foot one-bedroom to $6,900 for an 1,800-square-foot two-bedroom with den, the Marvella is priced for a choosy segment of the senior market, yet there’s been no shortage of demand.Half of the building now occupiedHousing adviser Mary Hoffer recalled prospective tenants walking into he...Antonio Brown reportedly aiming to play for the Albany Empire

ALBANY, N.Y. (WTEN) -- With the expiration of Title 42 and New York being a sanctuary state, Republican lawmakers are proposing legislation to address what they call a "migrant crisis." This past year, bus loads of migrants were transported to New York City. As the numbers of migrants continue to rise, Mayor Adams recently proposed to send some migrants to Rockland and Orange County. Both County Executives responded by declaring a state of emergency.Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt addressed this at a press conference on Wednesday. "Here’s sorta the truth that no one ever wants to talk about… someone's always gotta be displaced. When you’re bringing in thousands, millions - I don’t even know how many it is, tens of thousands of illegal migrants - and you’re putting them in different communities, you’re putting them in hotels, you’re displacing others. You’re taking resources from others. There’s no two ways about it," said Ortt.

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10)-- The New York State Comptroller’s Office recently released a New York State Education Department Audit looking into the privacy and security of student data. "Cybersecurity incidents are increasing and they’ve tripled in the last three years in New York and a big reason for that is teachers have had to jump into action during COVID and had to use a lot of new programs, third party apps, rely on IT services in a different way and that really exposed school districts to becoming more vulnerable to data breeches," explained Mary Mueller, Press Secretary for the New York State Comptroller.Data could include information such as names of children their parents and teachers, as well as addresses and contact information.An audit of the state education department looked at a sample of 131 data incidents reported by school districts as well as school websites focusing on March 2020 through November 2022— a time when schools were forced to move to remote or hybrid learni...Cover bands taking the stage at Lake George music festival
