KYIV ­— Days after the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam, Ukraine’s security service (SBU) published what it said was an intercepted call in which Russians admit they were behind the devastating attack.In an intercepted call, two males with Russian accents — identified by SBU only as two Russian soldiers — speak about how the Russian military wanted to blackmail Ukraine by attacking the dam, but things did not go according to plan as the waters of the Dnipro River spilled across the region, flooding dozens of settlements and destroying ecosystems.“It wasn’t the Ukrainians who blew up the dam. It was our sabotage group. They wanted to scare people with this dam [attack]. It didn’t go according to plan,” says one of those identified as a Russian military officer. “This dam was constructed in the 1950s, so it quickly collapsed.”During the call, one of those identified as a Russian soldier complained that Moscow-installed authorities in the occupied ...

Garlic, butter and vampires? It’s scape season in the garden

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:53:47 GMT

If you’re a home gardener or a frequent shopper at regional farmers markets, there’s no escaping the fact that right now is scape season. I’m talking about those pungent soon-to-be-a-flower on top of the green spike that all garlic pushes up this time of year.I just harvested all of ours a few days ago, and if you want to have the best yield of succulent garlic bulbs in a few weeks, go ahead and cut off the scapes from your garlic plants.Even if you don’t choose to eat the scapes or give them away, go ahead and cut them off because if the scape blossoms into the flower it’ll rob the underground bulb of some of its most delightful properties. I choose to consume the scapes because they’re delicious and loaded with healthful things like plant protein, vitamin C and calcium.According to some research, scapes, like the plant they come from, garlic, can help to control high blood pressure and high cholesterol, while also assisting in preventing heart disease.

Corrections defends Bernardo’s privacy, as it faces calls to detail transfer reason

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:53:47 GMT

OTTAWA — The Correctional Service of Canada is defending Paul Bernardo’s privacy rights, as the federal public safety minister says the country is owed an explanation for why he was moved. Marco Mendicino says Canadians deserve to know why the serial rapist and killer was transferred from a maximum-security prison to medium security, given the matter is now public. Fallout from Bernardo’s transfer has been echoing through Parliament Hill, Ontario’s legislature and across different police associations. Bernardo is serving a life sentence for the murder, kidnapping and torture of teenage girlsKristen French and Leslie Mahaffy from the early 1990s. He was also convicted of manslaughter in the death of Tammy Homolka, who died after being drugged and sexually assaulted. Tammy was the 15-year-old sister of Bernardo’s then-wife Karla Homolka, who was released after serving 12 year for her role in the crimes against French and Mahaffy. Bernardo also admitted to sexually as...

WASHINGTON — A newly unsealed indictment says former U.S. president Donald Trump is facing 37 charges of mishandling national secrets and conspiring to obstruct justice. It’s the second time Trump, already the only U.S. president to be impeached twice, has been indicted by a grand jury in less than three months. The document alleges he stored “scores of boxes” of classified documents in various rooms throughout his Mar-a-Lago sanctuary in Florida, including a ballroom, a bathroom and a shower. He’s accused of showing classified documents to various people at his golf club in New Jersey in 2021, after he left office, and admitting they were secret. The 38-count indictment also charges one of Trump’s aides, Walt Nauda, of concealing false documents and conspiring to obstruct justice. Trump’s legal woes — he was arraigned in March in the hush-money case involving adult film star Stormy Daniels — are the biggest question mark in his effort to secure t...
