2023 Fall foliage report: Week 1

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 01:11:24 GMT

Temperatures are cooling down and the nights are getting longer - fall is upon us! The changing leaves are another sign of the season. Some areas in the higher terrain have seen some decent progress over the past week. If you want to celebrate the first weekend of fall with some leaf peeping, you'll need to take a drive to the higher terrain. Spots like Old Forge and Tupper Lake are already reached the color midpoint. Early colors have been spotted all around the Green Mountain State. More pops of color are showing up at Whiteface Mountain and Lake Pleasant. You may have even spotted some patches in the higher spots of the Capital District.So, the color change is on it's way. Peak foliage might be a little delayed this year. The wet summer followed by an extended surge of late-season wet continued the production of chlorophyll, keeping the leaves green. We need cool nights, dry and mild afternoons to move the changing foliage along.Image courtesy of Evan Fisher, Explore FallI stumbl...

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. - A jury has convicted a St. Louis County man in the death of his wife, which happened before a planned divorce hearing in 2021. Michael Oshia, 52, was convicted of first-degree murder and armed criminal action in the case. Investigators say Oshia stabbed and killed his wife, Kimberly Oshia, on Dec. 29, 2021 in advance of a hearing in their divorce proceedings. Prisoner escapes Mercy South Hospital, police investigating “A guilty verdict and life prison sentence will not bring Kimberly Oshia back to her loved ones, but we held her murderer accountable and hopefully this brings some closure to her surviving family members and loved ones,” said St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell.Prosecutors say the first-degree murder charge should mean mandatory penalty of life in prison without eligibility for parole. Oshia is expected to be sentenced on Dec. 9.

Rapids takeaways: Colorado dogged by slow start again as Seattle Sounders win 2-1

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 01:11:24 GMT

COMMERCE CITY — If the Colorado Rapids don’t get off to a good start, it usually does not end well.That was the case again Wednesday night as the Seattle Sounders beat the Rapids 2-1 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Even with an 80th minute Cole Bassett goal and flurry of offense, it took Colorado 65 minutes to get into the game. For the Sounders, Albert Rusnak’s 55th-minute header proved to be the difference, which followed Léo Chú’s first-half opening goal.For interim head coach Chris Little, the result ultimately comes down to one thing: Earning the right to play into a game. Colorado (4-14-10, 22 points) remains bottom of the Western Conference.“For me it’s a fundamental principle of the game: You earn the right to play by competing for first balls and winning second balls, all of the dirty work that goes unnoticed, and we lost too many of those tonight in the first half in particular,” Little said. “… The last 20 minutes...

WeHo drivers able to video chat with deputies during traffic stops

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 01:11:24 GMT

A new smartphone app may do for law enforcement interactions what telemedicine has done for doctors.The app, SafeStop, allows members of the public to video chat with Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies before the in-person traffic stop, which the app developers said will "de-escalate traffic stops and transform police-motorist interactions."Traffic stops in particular have become a point of contention in the ongoing cultural discussion around the role of police in American society.Multiple deadly encounters between police and civilians began as simple traffic stops, including the high-profile killing of Philando Castile by Minnesota police.With traffic stops carrying potential life-and-death stakes, a pilot program using SafeStop intends to lower the temperature, allowing drivers and officers to communicate virtually before meeting face-to-face."When pulled over, users are provided with information and instructions on how to facilitate dialogue during their traffic sto...
