How an 8-year-old helped turn Wild winger Ryan Reaves into a scoring machine

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:26:51 GMT

Ryan Reaves was watching his son playing youth hockey last month when the chirps started to roll in.At that point, Reaves had played in exactly 40 games for the Wild, and still hadn’t found the back of the net despite some pretty good looks.That production from the 36-year-old — or lack thereof — was more than enough ammunition for an 8-year-old at the local rink.“A bunch of kids were there watching,” Reaves said with a laugh as he recalled the moment. “They were just giving it to me saying they had more goals than me.”Fittingly, the next day Reaves scored his first goal in a Wild sweater.It was an impressive play from the 6-foot-2, 225-pound winger, to say the least, as he skillfully batted a fluttering puck out of midair. Asked about the highlight after the Feb. 28 shootout win over the New York Islanders, Reaves breathed a sigh of relief, then kindly told the 8-year-old to eat his words.Looking back on it now, maybe Reaves should’ve...

Letters: Jenna Ellis, disgraced Trump attorney, deserves more than a slap on the wrist

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:26:51 GMT

Slap on the wrist not enough for undermining democracyRe: “Former Trump lawyer censured for falsehoods about election,” March 10 news storySo, it is great that lawyer, Jenna Ellis has been censured, but how can the fine be less than $300?! I realize that it is hard to put a price tag on the damage done for lying excessively and undermining our government recklessly; how it erodes trust and respect for our voting systems and all those who are dedicated to serving the public good responsibly.But she should be punished more harshly so that there is really a deterrent. Instead, there is no real impact on those who self-servingly barter in lies and conspiracies. It is embarrassing what has come of those who tarnish Colorado’s reputation.You choose to abuse; you should lose out on the benefits and opportunities provided to those who appreciate their democracy respectfully. Fortunately, there are many more who outweigh these un-American ways, but without more meaningful p...

Kazakhstan Works On The Return Of Illegally Withdrawn Funds

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:26:51 GMT

Not so long ago, the leadership of Kazakhstan offered the people a new concept called “New Kazakhstan”.The main difference between the “New Kazakhstan” and the “Old” one is in an open dialogue with society, increasing the transparency of public administration and ensuring social justice, including through an honest redistribution of the country’s wealth in favour of the people.In the “old” Kazakhstan, there were frankly problems with this.In 2019, according to official information, only 162 people fully controlled half of the wealth of this Central Asian country. Most of this wealth at that time was located offshore in Geneva, London, New York, Paris and other global financial centres.President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev instructed the government to develop a plan for the return of these assets as soon as possible.At that time, according to various estimates, including according to the international human rights organization “Tax justice network”, the amount of capital with...
