'We Didn't Know': French Island Residents Struggle With Lack Of Clear Solutions For PFAS Contamination
Local Officials Say Funding, Need For More Data Are Biggest Hurdles To Finding Permanent Clean Water
By Hope Kirwan
Monday, August 2, 2021, 5:30am
Dale and Mary Wetterling built their dream home on French Island more than 30 years ago.
The island sits between the Mississippi and Black rivers and is home to the Town of Campbell, as well as part of the city of La Crosse and the La Crosse Regional Airport.
While the Wetterlings' adult children moved out long ago, the two retired school teachers have a new housemate these days — Aqua Maria.
That's the name Mary gave their Culligan water dispenser when it arrived last fall after the couple found out their well was contaminated with PFAS.
"I felt that bringing this new thing into our house, it had to have a name, right? I mean you bring a child into the world, you give them a name, some people name their boats," Mary said.

Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, often called PFAS or "forever chemicals," are chemicals that don't break down in the environment and are related to adverse health effects like increased cholesterol, cancer and thyroid disease.
In 2019, the state Department of Natural Resources ordered the City of La Crosse to conduct an investigation into PFAS contamination previously found in two city-owned wells on French Island. Officials believe the chemicals came from the use of fire fighting foam at and around the airport.
In October, the city notified around 120 French Island households that they could be affected by the contamination and offered to test their private wells. When many of those tests started coming back with some level of PFAS, residents started doing their own well testing and so did the DNR.
So far, 533 private wells have been tested on the island and all but 12 had traces of PFAS. Thirty-one percent, or 164 wells, had PFAS levels deemed unsafe for drinking water by the state Department of Health Services.
The widespread contamination led DHS to declare an emergency water advisory for the area in March. Now, the state and the City of La Crosse are providing residents like the Wetterlings with five-gallon water jugs.
But Mary said the jugs are an imperfect solution for her and some of her neighbors.

"We have two women on our street who are widows and they literally cannot pick up that big huge gallon," Mary said. "My husband has helped a couple times. They call in somebody to come up and load their clean water for them."
She said both women lost their husbands to cancer. Dale is also a two-time cancer survivor and Mary said she can't help but wonder if the PFAS contamination had something to do with it.
"We have two grown daughters, four grandchildren. And they said, 'Oh, so when we were coming to your house for all of those celebrations, we were drinking PFAS water.' We didn't know that," Mary said.
The Wetterlings and their neighbors are anxious to know what will happen next, but finding a permanent source of clean water for Campbell residents is already proving elusive.
The Campbell Town Board recently hired an engineering firm to explore different options for the municipality. But Town Chair Josh Johnson said finding the money to pay for the needed studies, let alone build a municipal water system, will be difficult for the town of about 4,300 residents.
"Until we have more facts, it's really hard to pick a solution and go with it because you don't want to turn around and have the town take out some kind of loan, which we shouldn't have to do in the first place because we didn't cause this, and fund a whole infrastructure project only to find out five years down the road that what you tapped into for water has some different kind of contaminant in it," Johnson said.
Treating the island's nearly 1,500 private wells would be costly and digging them deeper could spread the contamination. But Johnson said many residents prefer the independence and lower property taxes that come with private wells.
"They don't want anything from anybody else, they want to do it their own way. A lot of them want to keep their own wells and put in their own treatment systems. A lot of them already have, like reverse osmosis systems," Johnson said.

DNR officials say connecting affected residents to nearby municipal water is often the most viable solution for communities like Campbell because it provides the best continued water quality.
Johnson said his constituents are skeptical about getting water from La Crosse.
"I'm a resident and it leaves a very — no pun intended — bad taste in my mouth to turn around and get water from the people who poisoned your own private well," Johnson said. "We don't know where this is going to go so we don't necessarily want to partner up."
Now, more than 900 Campbell residents are planning to take legal action against the city over the contamination and for failing to notify them when the chemicals were first discovered in city water in 2014.
La Crosse officials aren't rushing to provide water to the town anyway. In an interview with WPR's "Newsmakers" this spring, Mayor Mitch Reynolds said evaluating the best path forward from the contamination will take time.
"We can't jump into solutions that may be ineffective, and we're not at the point we're providing remediation or mitigation," Reynolds said.
He said La Crosse is also a victim of the contamination because it has affected two municipal wells. And that's why the city filed its own lawsuit against the chemical companies who make PFAS in March. They claim the companies knew the health risks associated with PFAS for decades but continued to sell products that contained the harmful chemicals.
But winning either of these legal battles doesn't guarantee an easy path to a solution.
Earlier this year, residents in the Town of Peshtigo in northern Wisconsin reached a $17.5 million dollar settlement with a chemical company over PFAS in their water. But, residents are still waiting for a permanent source of safe water.
That scares Campbell Town Supervisor Lee Donahue.
"We don't want to be in a situation like Peshtigo," Donahue said. "Three and a half years from now, we do not want to be drinking bottled water. We want to be drinking a safe alternative water source and know that we can maintain our independence as a town."
Donahue and Johnson were hoping Campbell could tap into funding through a $10 million municipal grant program proposed by Gov. Tony Evers in the new biennial budget. Instead, the state Assembly passed a GOP-sponsored bill that would create a similar grant program for communities affected by PFAS contamination, but the proposal would prevent them from suing those responsible for the pollution if they received funding under the program.
Republican lawmakers on the state's budget writing committee also stripped Evers' proposals to provide funding for new PFAS-related staff at the DNR, public water sampling and a provision to require the DNR to establish interim standards and monitoring requirements for PFAS.
Donahue said residents want to see more done at the state and federal level to help their community move forward. She points out that there is no federally-recognized safe level of PFAS in water.
"Every single day, I run into residents, pregnant moms, elderly people, young people who are concerned about their parents," Donahue said. "There is a tremendous concern. People are afraid to drink the water and rightfully so, until they find out what the number is for their household."
The Wetterlings said they also see that fear in their neighbors. Conversations now revolve around household water test results and what remediation methods they're pursuing in case the city or DNR stop providing bottled water.
Dale said they know it could take a long time to reach the end of a class action lawsuit. So they recently spent around $3,000 to have a new filtration system put into their home.
"Being at 78, we had to do something because we don't know how long we're going to be here," Dale said. "We're going to move out of here before that's resolved, and it's going to affect our property value, which is a big item."
Mary and Dale Wetterling had to make adjustments after discovering PFAS contamination in their water at their French Island, Wis., home. Angela Major/WPR
Dale said he worries about the people on the island who can't afford that kind of expense and what will happen if free bottled water is no longer available.
He said residents are anxious to know when they'll have a permanent source of clean water and how the situation will affect their property taxes and ability to sell their homes down the road.
But it could be years before they have the answers to those questions and more.

A bird eat one, Dat left nine.
They all turn yellow, An' one a dem sneeze!
This wonderful number rhyme comes from A Caribbean Counting Book by Faustin Charles and Robertan Arenson. Because we enjoyed it so much, I added some visuals and this rhyme has turned into a regular game.
This game is a fun way to practice counting to ten, and introduce subtraction. The charming rhymes are what led me to this book in the first place. The practice of pinning up the bananas, turning them over, and taking them down is a great fine motor skill work out.
Here's how you can enjoy this rhyme with your preschoolers as a hands-on counting activity.
You'll need green and yellow construction paper, glue, string and clothespins, as well as a place to hang your bananas.
1. Start by cutting out identical rectangles from yellow and green pieces of construction paper.
2. Holding the two pieces of paper together, cut out a half moon from one side of both.
3. Cut along the other side to finish the banana shape.
4. Glue the two sides together.
5. Repeat for nine more bananas, making ten bananas that are green on one side, and yellow on the other.
6. Tie a string across the back of a chair, or on a dresser as above. Use clothespins to attach the bananas green side out.
A bird eat one,". Next, I invite him to remove the banana that the bird ate. We recount and discover that leaves nine. The kids can help when them all turn yellow.
Next, it's little sister's turn to decide which one sneezed.
Count. Read a line. Remove a banana. Repeat, until "a chile start eatin' and that left only one."
One couldn't take de squeeze, An dat left seven.
One miss he grip, An' dat left six.
De bird eat another one, An' den there was five!
One fall 'pon de groun', An' dat left four.
One slide off, Den there was three.
One tumble down! An dat left two.
An' dat left only one!
I've been pleased to see that my son is beginning to recognize smaller numbers at a glance, but Caribbean charm of this little rhyme is reason enough to enjoy it, and I'm sure that's why my kids ask for it again and again. I hope you and yours enjoy it as much!


Imagine pertaining to the flow of website traffic in the course of the house — normally the route between doorways. Don't block that route with any weighty components of household furniture if on your own can stay away from it. Make it possible for Thirty in direction of 48 inches of width for primary website traffic routes and a least of 24 inches of width for little ones. Test in direction of direct website traffic in the vicinity of a seating community, not in the course of the heart of it. If website traffic cuts in the course of the heart of the house, take coming up with 2 tiny seating areas as a substitute of a single weighty a single.
Selection the dimensions of household furniture components in the course of the house, consequently your eyes go up and down as on your own scan the place. Balance a weighty or tall solution via putting yet another piece of similar height throughout the house towards it (or use artwork in direction of replicate the scale). Steer clear of placing 2 tall components subsequent in direction of each other. Combine immediately and curved traces for contrast. If the household furniture is progressive and linear, toss in a round desk for distinction. If the household furniture is curvy, combination in an angular piece. Equally, couple solids with voids: Combine a leggy chair with a solid aspect desk, and a solid chair with a leggy desk.
Point a desk within easy obtain of every seat, becoming confident in direction of blend components of similar scale, and produce confident every looking at chair has an accompanying lamp. Espresso tables should be discovered Fourteen in direction of 18 inches towards a sofa in direction of Deliver more than enough legroom. In a dining house, produce confident there's at minimum amount 48 inches between each benefit of the desk and the closest wall or piece of household furniture. If website traffic doesn't pass guiding the chairs on a single aspect of the desk, 36 inches should suffice. In bedrooms, allow for at minimum amount 24 inches between the aspect of the bed and a wall, and at minimum amount 36 inches between the bed and a swinging door. Deliver your again a split. Right before on your own go any household furniture, attempt your structure on paper.

The East African Community in disarray cartoon by GADO.
General Paul Kagame is a great goal-scorer. The problem is he keeps shooting into his own net. The most spectacular Kagame's own goals involved South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi, the United States, and DR Congo.
Rwanda 0 — South Africa 1 • Kagame expelled six South African diplomats. This Kagame own goal led South Africa to stop issuing visas in Rwanda. Predictably, this became a disaster for hundreds of Rwandan business people, students, and those seeking medical attention in South Africa.
Rwanda 0 — Tanzania 1 • Kagame promised to hit his Tanzanian counterpart after the later suggested that Kagame negotiates with his many political opponents. Kagame soon had to beg for improved relations as Rwandan imports and exports transit Tanzania.
Rwanda 0 — Uganda 1 • Kagame corrupted top elements of Ugandan police in order to use security services to terrorize and kidnap Rwandans. Kagame's counterpart initially ignored this but eventually began to scrutinize and restrict Rwandans seeking work opportunities in Uganda.
Rwanda 0 — Burundi 1 • Kagame publicly stated that his Burundian counterpart Pierre Nkurunziza was not fit for office and should not seek another term. After the Burundian head of state survived a coup d'etat, he designated Rwanda an enemy state. Rwanda-Burundi conflict is tearing apart the East African Community.
Rwanda 0 — USA 1 • Kagame blocked American exports of used apparel. The US expelled Rwanda from the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) which provides for duty-free entry of apparel and textile products into the American market.
Rwanda 0 — DR Congo 1 • Kagame rejected DR Congo's presidential election results in which Félix Tshisekedi was declared the winner. Tshisekedi became President.
Watch out for the next own goal from Africa's greatest goal-scorer.

Facebook messaging integration: is dark social going to get brighter?
by Mark Frary
In Social Media.
Messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are a shady place. Lots of stuff gets shared around in these private places.
That's kind of annoying if you work in travel and tourism in marketing. While links and other content shared on social platforms such as Facebook and Instagram are relatively easy to track with various analytics tools, this so-called "dark social" is harder to pin down. Most often, marketers see that some traffic has come from a direct link and can't take advantage of the network effects.
Plenty is going to change in the world of messaging in the next year or so too.
According to reports in the New York Times, social media boss Mark Zuckerberg has grand plans to bring together three of the most widely used messaging platforms – Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram.
While the platforms – which have more than 2.6 billion users between them – will remain as separate apps, the technical infrastructure behind them will be unified. Zuckerberg's plan appears to be that by stitching them together and making them easier to use, it will encourage users to stay within the company's ever growing ecosystem.
Facebook acquired Instagram in 2012 for $1 billion, a price that now looks like a bargain.
At the time, Zuckerberg said, "For years, we've focused on building the best experience for sharing photos with your friends and family. Now, we'll be able to work even more closely with the Instagram team to also offer the best experiences for sharing beautiful mobile photos with people based on your interests…We believe these are different experiences that complement each other. But in order to do this well, we need to be mindful about keeping and building on Instagram's strengths and features rather than just trying to integrate everything into Facebook."
The photo sharing network launched Instagram Direct, its private messaging service, a year later.
Two years later, the company acquired WhatsApp in a $16 billion deal. At the time Facebook said "WhatsApp's core messaging product and Facebook's existing Messenger app will continue to operate as standalone applications".
Facebook said in a statement to the New York Times: "As you would expect, there is a lot of discussion and debate as we begin the long process of figuring out all the details of how this will work."
One of the most keenly anticipated details of the integration is what standard Facebook will use and, specifically, if that standard with be something called Rich Communication Services or RCS.
GSMA, the industry body for mobile network operators, has been pushing RCS for a number of years, and more than 65 operators in 46 countries have adopted it as a successor to boring old SMS messages. Microsoft and Google are also supporters of the standard. Google, for example, ditched its Allo initiative in favour of using RCS and has added RCS support to the default Android Messages app.
The question, now, is whether Facebook is going to go down the same route. Having all these disparate messaging apps is a pain and users often spend time flicking between them to find a message. Better integration would surely be a plus.
What will be of particular interest to the travel industry is the support for businesses. Business messaging is a key part of the RCS standard and the GSMA reckons the market will be worth $74 billion by 2021. It will allow businesses to do things like advertise, share e-tickets, make payments and more.
The world of dark social looks likely to become significantly brighter.

Promoting lifelong learning through the recognition of the outcomes of youth and adult basic education
adult-basic-education.jpg
© UIL
According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, 758 million adults – two-thirds of whom are women – still lack basic reading and writing skills. The availability of recognition and validation processes could be a key strategy to re-engage them in learning and to achieve the targets in Sustainable Development Goal 4.
How to ensure that young people and adults do not miss out on their right to basic education and re-engage with learning to enhance their life chances? During a meeting in UNESCO headquarters on 3-4th November, a group of experts discussed the findings of a study and a set of key messages for policy and for further research on the recognition, validation and accreditation (RVA) of basic competencies, regardless of the ways in which they were acquired.
UNESCO, through its various divisions and specialised institutes, like the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL), advocates for the RVA of the outcomes of non-formal and informal learning as a building block towards the construction of lifelong learning policies and systems. In contribution to moving this agenda forward, UNESCO has developed Guidelines for the Recognition, Validation and Accreditation of the Outcomes of Non-formal and Informal Learning.
The attention of policy-makers to this topic has increased with the renewed focused on lifelong learning which has been given impetus by the Education 2030 agenda. This is the focus of a joint UNESCO-UIL research project, supported by an international group of experts on the recognition, validation and accreditation (RVA) of the outcomes of non-formal and informal learning. Initiated in 2015, the project examined trends, challenges and promising practices in the field of RVA with a particular focus on non-formal basic education for disadvantaged youth and adults.
Following UNESCO's humanistic tradition, this project is based on an inclusive approach that values prior learning and provides learners with the opportunity to acquire a basic education certificate. This certificate can mean a springboard into higher levels of education and training; yet, in many countries where young people and adults have attended literacy programmes, they often find there is no opportunity to continue their studies and to complete their basic education or to keep on learning.
However, there are many promising practices in this field. For example, in South Africa, millions of learners were reached by programmes aimed at recognising prior knowledge in the past decade by means of portfolio-building at community learning centres and with guidance provided by volunteers. Other countries, like Benin, Mali and Senegal, have chosen to validate competences based on dual apprenticeship schemes that combine literacy with vocational training. Others yet, have tried to link RVA with the development of their national qualifications frameworks or, like in the case of Indonesia where alternative educational pathways are offered in the form of formal, non-formal and informal tracks.
Analysing a plethora of different experiences, like the European Inventory on validation of non-formal and informal learning, the experiences in India's National Institute of Open Schooling or the RVA programmes in Chile, Mexico and Brazil, the experts at the meeting concluded that this field of research will become increasingly relevant for Member States, who have asked for further guidance, to address increasing inequalities in their education systems. What national policy-makers need now is clear policy advice supported by practical experiences. This can only be developed through further research, which the experts vowed to continue.

Silicon Designs, Inc. announced that additional new g-ranges and end-user enhancements have been added to its Model 2227 MEMS inertial accelerometer series.
Initially launched in October 2018 as a strictly ±25-g product, the Series is now offered in both ±10 g and ±50 g ranges, respectively. Stock quantities of all three models are immediately available for customer shipment.
In addition to its direct drop-in replacement compatibilities, in terms of industry-standard form factor and pin configuration, with traditional quartz inertial accelerometers, Model 2227 Series units now include a built-in adjustable scaling factor. The scaling factor allows an end-user to achieve greater accelerometer voltage output flexibility, at any specified g-range, of as much as 25%.
The resulting design allows the Series to achieve the necessary low-noise, high-stability, long-term repeatability and low power for today's inertial navigation applications, at a competitive price point. Final testing is conducted on a temperature-tumble-system, ensuring thermal calibration parameters that simplify accelerometer use with the customer's own real-time temperature compensation and modeling software.


There is a delicate balance between weather and wildlife. Some animals need sunny days, some need rainy days, and others need snowy ones. Weather is unpredictable, one day it can provide us with the perfect day for playing outside, the next it can give us a hailstorm that keeps us trapped indoors. No matter what you consider your perfect day, our Wild Weather System Socks have a little bit of everything. These novelty socks have snow, rain, sun, and lightning, and you can wear them for any type of weather.
As climate change progresses many plant and animal species are harmed by the warming oceans or the longer, more intense droughts. Many are losing their homes, food, and natural way of life because of these changes. For every purchase of novelty socks, a donation is made directly to animal conservation efforts, such as preventing the effects of climate change.

Kings Hire Jenny Boucek, NBA's Third Full-Time Female Coach Ever
The Kings signed Jenny Boucekto a full-time coaching role. She joins the Spurs' Becky Hammon as the only female coaches in the NBA.
By Daniel Rapaport
The Kings hired Jenny Boucek to join head coach Dave Joerger's staff as a full-time assistant player development coach, making Boucek the third-ever woman to hold a full-time coaching gig with an NBA team.
Sacramento announced the hiring on Friday. The other female coach currently with an NBA team is Becky Hammon, who has been an assistant to Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich since 2014. Nancy Lieberman spent time as an assistant with the Kings but is no longer with the franchise.
Boucek played collegiately at Virginia and played briefly in the WNBA before starting her coaching career in 1999. She was the head coach of the WNBA's Sacramento Monarchs from 2007-09 and the Seattle Storm from 2015-17, posting a 76-99 career record as a head coach.
"Over the years, I've crossed paths with Dave several times," Boucek, 43, told ESPNW. "I feel like we have a lot in common because we got into coaching in the pros at young ages. We stayed in touch and supported each other. I spent some time observing with their staff here a couple of times, and it evolved into this."
Boucek joins a young Kings team that went 32-50 last season. Sacramento currently has six players under 22 on its roster, including 2017 first-round picks De'Aron Fox, Justin Jackson and Harry Giles.
"This is such an exciting opportunity," Boucek told ESPNW. "I don't feel it's really different between the NBA and WNBA in how you teach things. There are some logistical differences in the NBA, being a bigger organization with a bigger staff. But in terms of the game, coaching is the same. The guys have been super receptive."

Beautiful women deserve all the attention they get. In the midst of the magical coast of Helgeland, seven lofty lovelies await our admiration. Only you can decide whether you will view them at a safe distance, or venture closer to experience them in their full glory.
The Seven Sisters form a majestic chain of peaks overlooking the shipping channel plied by the Hurtigruten. Thrusting their heads 1,000 metres above the shoreline, they form a dramatic backdrop to the myriad of islands and lush cultural landscape. Their beauty may be admired equally well from the deck of the Hurtigruten as from a bike out on one of the islands. As with all natural beauties, close contact brings the greatest pleasures .
From north to south the Sisters are Botnkrona at 1,072 metres (3,517 ft), Grytfoten at 1,019 metres (3,343 ft), Skjæringen at 1,037 metres (3,402 ft), Tvillingene (The Twins) at 945 and 980 metres (3,100 ft and 32,15 ft), Kvasstinden at 1,010 metres (3,313 ft) and Breitinden at 910 metres (2,985 ft).
The Sisters' origins are to be found in the Ice Age; created by glaciers digging down into softer rocks, leaving the harder rocks behind, naked and scoured by the ice. The landscape around the Sisters some 20,000 years ago was a jumble of glacier tongues stretching in different directions, from which the peaks emerged as bare "nunataks".
According to popular belief, the Seven Sisters did, however, play a role in the legend of Nordland, the tale of how the mountains of Nordland came into being. The fiery horseman Hestmannen was pursuing the maid Lekamøya and the Seven Sisters. While Hestmannen was after Lekamøya, there is more than a suggestion that several of the sisters had taken a fancy to Hestmannen, the Adonis of the Lofoten Islands. The soap-like drama had a terrible ending, however, when the sun rose and all were turned into stone.
Botnkrona, the highest of the Seven Sisters, offers the broadest panorama, with the Vega Archipelago, Mount Torghatten and the far-north hills of Trøndelag visible to the south. Out over the sea in the west are spread the myriad islands, islets and skerries of the Helgeland coast up to the three mountain peaks at Træna. The 1,916 metre-high (6,286 ft) Oksskolten, the highest peak in Northern Norway, lies to the east. To the north is the great Svartisen Glacier, and on a clear day you can see the Lofoten mountains.
The Seven Sisters are not particularly difficult to climb for people of average fitness and mobility. If you have little experience of mountain hiking, it may however be wise to avoid the airy part of the climb on Kvasstinden. Well-marked trails lead from Botn at Sandnessjøen up and down all seven peaks to Søvika, south of the airport in Sandnessjøen. There are also a number of marked parking spaces. The tourist information centre in Sandnessjøen sells walking maps drawn up by Sandnessjøen og Omegn Turistforening (Sandnessjøen and Surrounds Tourism Association).
Walking the entire range, ascending and descending all the peaks, is a challenge for all reasonably fit and reasonably experienced mountain hikers. Most will manage the entire trip in 10 to 15 hours, although the record is an impressive three hours fifteen minutes. A detailed route description is available from the tourist information office, which awards a certificate to everyone who completes the hike of all seven peaks.

Last week we hosted the 17th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia #MUM2017, for me it was the first time being a local organizer. Together with Yomna Abdelrahman, we both have been responsible for the whole local organization – rooms, food, drinks, conference dinner and all other local arrangements and also the budget planning. In total, we had 123 attendees from all over the place. Unsurprisingly the largest attendee group was from Germany.
As the conference is not so big, we also decided to take care of the student volunteers. Thus, during the conference, we had 12 amazing SVs (see picture above) to arrange and provide everything the attendees needed. And once more I had the chance to use chicv.org to deal with all tasks, form both my day caption experience at CHI and NordiCHI I was used to the system. But I have to say this so buggy, basically you need to learn the bugs to understand what the system is doing. But its free and lightweight so I will always recommend to use it.

I experienced the conference was mainly from backstage. However, my conference talk highlight was for sure the closing keynote by Dirk van den Boom. Have a look at the last image to get an impression why I enjoyed the talk. Another highlight was the excellent BBQ form the Metzgerei Egeler where I worked during my studies during the demo and art exhibition on Monday evening.

Kevin Hart is ready to invite the world into his personal life in the upcoming docu-series Don't F–k This Up.
The comedian has had a bumpy ride over the last year and he intends to share his journey with his fans in the six-part project set to hit Netflix on December 27.
According to Variety:
The series will follow the comedian's day-to-day lifestyle as he tackles what it means to be a partner, father, role model, and business man as well as offer an inside look at some of the major moments he endured within the last year. That includes the now-infamous Oscars debacle following the resurfacing of Hart's previous homophobic comments.
Kevin Hart hits his first red carpet after horrific car accident
Now word on whether or not the docs-series will include Hart's road to recovery following the terrifying car accident that left him with major back injuries in September.
"September 1, 2019 I was involved in an accident. My life was forever changed," he shared in an Instagram post. "No matter how much you think you're in control, you're not in control. At the end of the day, it could all be over."
A post shared by Kevin Hart (@kevinhart4real) on Oct 29, 2019 at 8:51pm PDT
Earlier this month, Hart hit his first red carpet since the horrific accident at the E! People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles. There, he accepted the accolade for comedy movie star of 2019. During his heartfelt acceptance speech, he thanked his family for their unconditional support.
"First and foremost, thank God, because I definitely don't have to be here," the Jumanji star said.
"Being that I am, it makes me appreciate life even more. It makes me appreciate the things that really matter: family. I want to thank my wife, my kids, who really stepped up to the plate for me," said the father of three, referencing his wife Eniko and his three kids, Hendrix, 12, Kenzo, 2, and daughter Heaven, 14.
And Hart thanked his ride-or-die fans who sent a barrage of well wishes his way after a friend crashed his Plymouth Barracuda, where he was a passenger. It was a tough time for the funnyman and the road to recovery has been no laughing matter.


Livingstones SA, in an effort to add value to our work, cooperate with John Bizas, the innovative young artist who sculptures "the void" of the stone in its most delicate and elegant nature.
His passion for marble is what made him move to Italy in 2008 - where he still lives and works. He first stayed in Florence for seminars in art and then at Carrara where he got graduated in fine arts at the academy of Carrara, before moving to Pietrasanta to practice his work.
His art deals with the distresses of our community such as environmental disasters, wars, decay of society, etc. This line of skepticism has developed his characteristic style in marble sculptures, which is to use the empty space as material. The void he generates inside and around of the stone gives him the ability to allow the light to gently infiltrate across the interior of the sculpture.
His stone sculptures offer the human eye the opportunity to penetrate the shaped material that lets the viewer to travel between an imaginary world and reality.


Warning: This article contains an inordinate amount of Swedish puns.
Jack Eichel suffers an injury and the Sabres immediately start winning some hockey games. Some things simply cannot be explained. Although their recent run of solid performances has been a welcome respite from their routinely vile showings, Sabres fans are mindful that the roster they see today will incur significant alterations over the next few years.
Save for the aforementioned Eichel, along with the likes of Rasmus Ristolainen, Casey Nelson, Nick Baptiste and (potentially) Ryan O'Reilly, the Blue & Gold will assuredly look very different as early as next season. Studs like Casey Mittelstadt and Brendan Guhle both seem to be ready to take the leap, while the likes of upstart Hudson Fasching and C.J. Smith are also knocking on the Sabres door. Aside from these promising youngsters, there is a common theme for the future of the Sabres: an imminent Swedish invasion.
Fun fact: Ulf Sterner was the first Swede (and European, for that matter) to ever play in the NHL. Sterner made his debut for the New York Rangers on Jan. 27, 1965, against the Boston Bruins and only managed a total of four games to round out his brief NHL career. Although Sterner was an obvious trailblazer, the likes of Borje Salming, Anders Hedberg, Nicklas Lidstrom, Peter Forsberg and Mats Sundin were all instrumental in the ever-growing popularity in their homeland and, as a result, the consistent output of current NHL stars hailing from Sweden.
With the vast number of Swedish players to star in the NHL over the past 30+ years, one would think that the Sabres would have serendipitously secured at least one. Instead, the team's most notable Swedish contingent over the last few decades consists of Henrik Tallinder, Calle Johansson, and Jhonas Enroth. Not exactly the Swede-st of the Swede.
The 2017-18 edition of the Sabres definitely has more Swedish flavor than teams of yesteryear. This can be partially attributed to former general manager Tim Murray having a proclivity to acquire Swedes. This includes questionable trades to secure the likes of Robin Lehner and Johan Larsson. The future, however, looks brighter and Swede-r.
Drafted in the sixth round of the 2012 NHL draft, Linus Ullmark is still in the midst of a lengthy journey to become the Sabres' goaltender of the future. Upon being drafted by Murray, the decision was made to stash the 6-foot-4 netminder to his incumbent club, MODO, for an additional two years. Unfortunately for Ullmark, Murray developed an affinity for Ottawa Senators prospect, Lehner, which left Ullmark as the odd man out when arriving back in Buffalo during the 2015-16 season.
Despite this imperfect path, Ullmark has exhibited a great deal of resiliency for the Rochester Americans this season. The Amerks currently sit in second place in the North Division, and the 24-year-old Swede is a major reason why. He ranks seventh in the AHL with a .923 save percentage and is tied for third in starts with 34. There is increasing buzz that Ullmark may soon receive his opportunity to shine.
Where there is smoke, there is usually fire. Let's hope that Ullmark gets his long overdue opportunity sooner rather than later.
Olofsson is a winger with natural goal-scoring instincts. Knows how to find open ice and has a good, hard shot. Skates extremely well and is a decent playmaker, too. His lack of size can be a problem in physical contests.
What makes Olofsson's production so intriguing is the SHL has, historically, been a league dominated by more season veterans. It will be interesting to see how the skilled winger will fare in a far more physically imposing league in the NHL. Based on Olofsson's current production and trajectory, the odds are in his favor.
Alexander Nylander is steadily becoming Buffalo's favorite whipping boy because of his ostensibly slow development. What compounds the criticism is Nylander's brother, William, has already turned into a top-six NHL forward and is trending towards becoming elite…all at the ripe age of 21. Alexander, on the other hand, was the eighth overall selection in the 2016 NHL draft but has struggled to rapidly rise up the ranks like his brother.
The 19-year-old had a horrific first season with the Amerks in 2016-17, tallying a pedestrian 28 points in 65 games, with a paltry minus-24 plus/minus rating. His 2017-18 season has not been much better, with nine points in 28 games. The silver lining is that Nylander is young, highly skilled and has produced for Sweden at the last two World Junior Hockey Championships.
Much like Olofsson, Nylander will need to continue to assimilate to the physicality of North American hockey before he can truly excel. He is currently taking his lumps, but his skill level and pedigree bode well for a fruitful future.
Unlike Oloffson and Nylander, Rasmus Asplund has been labeled as an all-around player that does not merely rely on his physical tools. Instead, the cerebral element to his game reigns supreme. He was taken in the second round of the same draft as fellow Swede, Nylander. Additionally, he and Nylander shared some chemistry during the 2016 WJHC.
Davidsson has enjoyed a fantastic season with Djurgarden of the SHL. Through 32 games, he's contributed a respectable 14 points, with an astounding plus-14 plus/minus rating. Much like Asplund, Davidsson's two-way approach speaks to a mature game that will likely help his entry into the NHL easier than the likes of Oloffson and Nylander. Unlike Asplund, Davidsson does have a more NHL-ready frame, standing at 6 feet tall, weighing in at 191 pounds.


Bangladesh government is contemplating the construction of a four-lane expressway, in addition to the existing national highway, to improve connectivity between capital Dhaka and the port city of Chittagong.
Once completed, the distance between the two cities can be covered in just two and a half hours.
The government is also planning to run express trains between them. For that, a shorter rail route will have to be laid alongside the existing one.
This project would bring the travel time between the two cities down to one and half hours. At present, it takes at least six hours to cover the distance.
Secretaries to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, and the Ministry of Railways made a Powerpoint presentation of the drafts of the twin projects at a meeting with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at Ganabhaban on Thursday.
The prime minister directed them to plan the projects by keeping in mind the scenario likely to emerge 20 years later.

Caroline Elliott: We don't have to go full woke to fight racism in Canada
The woke worldview is also taking root in parties of the centre-right
The CBC-Radio Canada building is seen Thursday, January 28, 2021 in Montreal. Ryan Remiorz/The Canadian Press.
By Caroline Elliott|Posted on January 10, 2022
Last week, former CBC producer Tara Henley released a cutting critique of the broadcasting corporation's embrace of the woke agenda. To work at the CBC, she writes, "is to consent to the idea that a growing list of subjects are off the table, that dialogue itself can be harmful. That the big issues of our time are all already settled. It is to capitulate to certainty, to shut down critical thinking, to stamp out curiosity. To keep one's mouth shut, to not ask questions, to not rock the boat."
The phenomenon she observes goes far beyond the CBC.
I've had similar experiences, learning the hard way that advocating for a broad definition of free speech is considered racist by the more woke among us. Having argued that the expression of dissent is essential to social, political, and technological progress, I was heatedly informed that I'd become a liability for one of the organizations I was consulting with. (Let's just say I no longer work with those folks, and that's probably a good thing).
But the influence of the woke mindset increasingly extends throughout all levels of Canadian government and into the political process itself.
The Government of BC's anti-racism initiative states as fact that British Columbians live in a province "steeped in colonialism and systemic racism." The public is scoldingly reminded that not one of us can claim we don't harbor prejudice, with the rather circular rationale that simply not knowing of one's own privilege is a sign of being, well, privileged.
In Ontario, the previous head of the public service likewise reminded citizens that "the society we live in—its history, its cultures and its institutions—has been shaped by colonialism, slavery, racism and xenophobia." Agencies of the federal government have made similar claims, suggesting that certain commonly-held Western principles like individualism and objectivity are "characteristics of white supremacy" and that only white people can be racist.
When it comes to the political sphere, one need only consider NDP leader Jagmeet Singh's comments in relation to a horrific and aberrant attack on a Muslim family last summer. According to Singh, "our Canada is a place of racism, of violence, of genocide of Indigenous people" and that it is "a place where you can't walk down the streets if you wear a hijab because you will be killed." In Singh's view, this exceedingly hateful attack is Canada. His speech drew whistles and applause in the House of Commons and received accolades from numerous media outlets.
The reality, though, is that the woke worldview is also taking root in parties of the centre-right. Here in British Columbia, the BC Liberal Party (a coalition of federal Liberals and Conservatives) is nearing the end of a lengthy leadership race that will come to a vote in early February. Aaron Gunn, a somewhat controversial conservative commentator, threw his name into the ring only to be rejected by a small, unelected committee overseeing the leadership election before party members could have their say.
While Gunn lacks widespread support and would likely have lost the race anyway, some party members do look approvingly upon his proposals to "bring back common sense" to B.C. politics. These include supporting law and order against disruptive protests, opposing the removal of John A. Macdonald's statue, and rejecting the suggestion that Canada is an inherently racist, genocidal country.
Rather than letting party members decide which candidate best reflects their values, the leadership committee made the call themselves. Gunn's candidacy, they decreed, would be inconsistent with the party's commitment to "reconciliation, diversity and acceptance of all people in B.C."
This isn't to say that I agree with Gunn, but rather that the situation makes it clear that certain topics, even in the realm of the centre-right, are, as Henley put it, "settled." Off the table. Beyond discussion. And certainly not something for the democratic process to decide.
Media outlets, governments, and political parties are steadily falling into line with a single, unquestionable portrayal of our identity as Canadians, a portrayal that doesn't even closely match the version that regular Canadians see in the mirror or amongst their friends, families, and neighbours.
Instead, it is a portrayal of ordinary citizens innately culpable in the subjugation and oppression of their fellow citizens, a portrayal made possible by the censuring of any who would suggest otherwise.
There's no question that Canada has a racist past; I wrote about it in a recent column. And without a doubt, Canada has racists in it. Find a country anywhere in the world where neither of these things is true.
We need to do what we can to address racism in meaningful ways, but that does not mean we need to accept the woke idea that Canada is a country defined by race, comprised of racists. Nor does it mean we need to accept the simplistic and deeply flawed characterizations of our country and ourselves as defined by the loudest mobs on Twitter.
As I look at my one-year-old little boy, I refuse to accept that at some to-be-determined age, he will cross an invisible line from an innocent babe to the embodiment of white male privilege complicit in keeping others down.
I, for one, will do everything in my limited power to ensure that he and other Canadians not only ask, but are allowed to ask: is there truly not one single thing at all worth celebrating about Canada? Is our nation actually steeped in racism? Is the violent and tragic murder of an innocent family by a single, hate-filled, possibly insane individual really us? Is the practice of constantly delineating our population along racial lines truly going to lead to a better society?
Henley hit the nail on the head when she said that her experience at the CBC raises larger questions about the direction in which North America is headed. But the more I think about it, we're beyond the journey. We've arrived, and that's the reality with which we must contend.

I have been neglecting my blog. When I am happy and busy it is so difficult for me to write. And I have also been feeling timid and protective of personal matters lately. It's like when you find a special, shiny object as a child and want to keep it a secret from the world.
Life on the farm is becoming increasingly hectic as August wears on. The markets are in full swing, the produce is at its peak and various fairs, summer events, special orders and deliveries are putting more and more pressure on Mark and his family. And amidst all of this, my farmer and I celebrated our first year anniversary last week!
A year ago, Mark asked me to the fair and offered to give me a brief tour of the farm beforehand. Little did I know then that the farm just down the road would someday be my home. I vividly remember turning onto the gravel drive as Mark sat against one of the sheds wearing a clean white shirt, waiting for me to arrive. I knew he was nervous, but as he began showing me the farm equipment, explaining its uses, answering questions, asking questions, his tension eased and I could tell he was happy. Genuinely happy for my company. After the tour, we took an unpaved back country road to the fair. We talked and walked and laughed, almost barfed after a few rides (ok, that was just me) and started to fall in love. My curiosity didn't phase him and his direct, honest nature drew me in. What a very full year it has been since that evening. The other day, Mark told me that there are times when he and his family stop for a moment, look at each other during the heat of the day and wonder how on earth they were able to accomplish all that they did that season.
When I think back on our single year, I feel the same way.
Working the farmers markets together has proven to be a considerably more meaningful experience than I could have ever imagined. Being side by side during the hottest of days, during downpours, as we take on the chaos of a crowd and a line a dozen deep and even during markets where turnout is low and it suddenly feels like you have twice the product that you actually do…those times have solidified our trust. For me, all of that time spent together – even the harder days – have been encouraging, because through it all, I have a man who loves me.
A habit I've developed during the summer market season is this: Mark and I return to the farm in the evening after market. After we unload anything necessary from the truck, I head into the house to wash my hands and face while Mark makes sure the dog has fresh water and the cats are fed. I make a beeline to the refrigerator and open up the jar of peaches that are quietly calling my name. I grab a fork and spear a juicy chunk, let it drip a moment and then lock lips with it. The cold sweetness of that peach instantly cools my entire body. And I have another (and usually another) as I stop for a moment to look out the kitchen window, watching the sun slowly lay its head down to sleep. Cold and sweet at the end of a hot, full day. This recipe is an ode to that moment.
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Cut the peaches in half, leaving the skins on and the pits intact. Place them cut side down onto a clean baking sheet. Roast the peaches on the center rack of the oven for 30 minutes. Remove them and let cool.
When the peaches are cool enough to handle, the skins should slide off easily. Discard the skins and pits and place all of the peach flesh into a blender. Add the fresh lime juice and sugar, then process to a fine puree. Be sure to add the citrus juice before you puree it, otherwise the peaches may oxidize (turn brown). Strain the mixture if necessary and add salt to taste. Let the puree chill for at least a couple of hours, preferably overnight.
1. The colder the better. Make sure your sorbet or ice cream base is super cold and it also helps if you put the actual canister that the base will go into in the freezer for a while before you make the sorbet. An hour should do it.
2. Even distribution. When you are ready to add the ice to the bucket, do it in layers. Add some ice to the bottom of the bucket, then about a tablespoon or so of kosher or rock salt. Bigger salt is better. Add another layer of ice, and some more salt. See the pattern here? I did three layers like this. That way, your ice melts evenly, ensuring the temperature surrounding your ice cream or sorbet is pretty much the same everywhere.
3. Enlist a friend! Or in my case, a farmer! If you have someone to trade off churning duty, it's a lot more fun and you can eat ice cream sooner.
