Need a distraction from the ballgame gone to hell? John has our thoughts on Forrest Gump, a film that is deeply uncool to like but surprisingly underrated.

Funny detail that didn't (for obvious reasons) make it into the story. As I was interviewing the reverend, Aziza shit in her carry box. The smell, as you might expect, cut the interview short.

All dogs (and turkeys) go to heaven: Pets receive blessings at Nelson church The pets were invited into St. Saviour's Pro-Cathedral to mark the annual Feast of St. Francis of Assisi

On Saturday, a local church invited the public to have pets blessed during the annual Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. Most were dogs, but one was a turkey named Aziza. I consider this story a gift from Heaven.

Very sad to hear about the passing of Comox Valley Record editor Terry Farrell, who died yesterday from cancer. Terry was a lovely person, an ardent Oilers fan, and spent his final year documenting his appreciation for all of life's joys, big and small. He will be very missed by his colleagues.

BC Paper Owner Sparks Mass Resignation Over Charlie Kirk Story Intervention | The Tyee Alaskan journalists quit after Carpenter Media execs unilaterally changed an article about a vigil for the far-right activist.

The resignations, which include two editors and two reporters based in Homer and Kenai, were scheduled to take effect in two weeks, but managers at Carpenter Media Group fired all four immediately.

A person just called me to ask why I wasn't covering the ostrich story, then pressed me on who paid for my training in journalism. She didn't really have an answer when I replied, "student loans."

Fascinating. I would obviously have preferred term, but this gives the Oilers plenty of cap space to work with before he gets that big pay day.

This is not the only piece of business Edmonton is doing today

Hearing the Oilers are also closing in on a 7x7M extension with the Pride of Armour Heights, Jake Walman

Big day for them
