Pickup truck smashes into historic fountain in downtown Nantucket

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:55:33 GMT

A wild crash was caught on camera on Nantucket Sunday night as a pickup truck smashed into the island’s historic Main Street fountain. A nearby webcam captured the moment of impact, which left pieces of the fountain scattered all around the road. The fountain itself was originally donated to the town of Nantucket in 1885, according to the Nantucket Historical Association. The fountain and the town square around it was later dedicated to Lieutenant Max Wagner in 1932, several decades after Wagner was killed in the Spanish-American War, the historical association said.Live webcam video late Monday morning showed cars inching down Main Street around the site where the fountain once stood. The base of the fountain itself was blocked off with a traffic cone and barricades.

‘A masterpiece rediscovered’: Unseen Monet painting expected to fetch more than $65 million at auction

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:55:33 GMT

(CNN) — A previously unseen painting by Claude Monet is expected to fetch more than $65 million when it goes on sale in New York early next month, according to a statement released by Christie’s auction house.Entitled “Le bassin aux nymphéas” or “Water lily pond,” the two-meter- (6.6-foot-) wide painting forms part of Monet’s famous “Water Lilies” series, depicting light dappling across the water, casting reflections of water lilies and willow trees.Painted around 1917-1919, it dates from the latter period of Monet’s life, as he produced a series of works depicting water lilies that now hang in museums worldwide.And after almost a lifetime of studying color and light, this painting “captures the dynamism and beauty of nature’s transience, exploring the ephemeral atmosphere, seasonal blooms, watery depths, and glimmering reflections of light,” Christie’s statement said.Until now, the painting had remained in the same family collection for more than 50 years, ...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:55:33 GMT

(CNN) — Overdose deaths among teens have been on the rise for years and now the Biden administration is urging schools to purchase and carry the opioid overdose antidote naloxone.In a joint letter to educators Monday, White House Office of National Drug Control Policy Director Dr. Rahul Gupta and US Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said every school in the United States should carry naloxone, adding that faculty and students alike should be prepared to use the nasal spray to stop an overdose.“We want to share resources that could help your school and community prevent drug use before it begins and keep students alive long enough to get the help they need in the event of an overdose or poisoning,” Gupta and Cardona wrote.“We will encourage businesses, restaurants, banks, construction sites, schools, others to think about this – think about it as a smoke alarm or a defibrillator, to make it as easily accessible, because it’s not just you.

CVS and Walgreens pharmacy staff plan 3-day walkout

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:55:33 GMT

New York (CNN) — Employees at some of the largest drugstore chains in the United States are staging a new series of walkouts across the country Monday to demand the companies fix what employees say are harsh working conditions that make it difficult for them to safely fill prescriptions, and which could put the health of their customers at risk.Walgreens and CVS employees are mostly not unionized, which makes a largescale walkout difficult to execute. Staff and organizers in multiple states confirmed to CNN that the walkouts have begun and will take place through November 1, but it remains unclear how widespread the action is.Workers at Walgreens and CVS have previously staged walkouts in Arizona, Washington, Massachusetts and Oregon in September and early October. Those work actions closed a handful of pharmacies briefly, and slowed business at several others. At the time, Walgreens told CNN the impact has been “minimal.”Shane Jerom...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:55:33 GMT

There was no official signing by the end Monday’s morning skate, but it appears as though Danton Heinen’s long wait for a contract is coming to an end.Heinen took the first shift as the fourth line left wing in the morning skate, at the end of the skate, he was awarded with the center stretch to stick taps all around. It certainly seemed as if somehting was in the works.Heinen has been with the B’s on a tryout agreement since the start of training camp but, because of some salary cap constraints, the club had not been able to sign him. That appears to be changing, and a Heinen addition would give coach Jim Montgomery a player he could plug in throughout the lineup.“His versatility is really important he can play both wings adeptly as well and he understands whatever line he’s put on, what the expectation is of the role he’s going to play,” said coach Jim Montgomery, who coached Heinen at the University of Denver.This is would be Heinen’s second go...

MONTREAL — Protesters are marching in downtown Montreal to condemn the Quebec government’s plan to double university tuition for students from other provinces. Protest organizer Alex O’Neill, who grew up in Montreal and studies at McGill University, says out-of-province students can’t afford to pay the $17,000 the government wants to charge them next year. Many participants at the protest, which stretched the length of two city blocks, wore purple, the colour of Bishop’s University, in Sherbrooke, Que., the province’s only English-language university outside Montreal. Sophia Stacey, president of the university’s student association, says she worries Bishop’s will be forced to close if tuition for non-Quebec students is dramatically increased.The Quebec government says the measure is partially motivated to protect the French language by reducing the number of English-speaking people in Montreal. Catherine Bibeau-Lorrain, president of Union ét...
