Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Earlier this month, one such extraction took place. On April 6, a collar placed on a moose in 2022 gave off a signal indicating that the animal had died. DEC wildlife employees and ECOs embarked into a deeply-forested part of the Adirondacks to find the moose.The expedition to find the moose took place while there was still a large amount of snow on the mountains in the Adirondacks. The teams were able to get within 500 yards of the signal by snowmobile and UTV travel. From there, it was a trek through as much as three feet of snow. The deceased moose was even...

A road rage confrontation during a traffic jam in Coachella was caught on camera Sunday afternoon on the final day of the four-day music festival.  An aggressive driver in a white Honda CRV was captured on video attempting to cut off several cars when the clash occurred and then escalated.  “I saw everything happen for what it is only because he was harassing me at first and merging into my lane,” one of the victims, a man identified only as Shawn, told KTLA.  He had been in one vehicle when a backseat passenger in the white Honda started hurling insults.

So, like always good energy and good vibes,” he said.  The car that he was in didn’t yield to the aggressive driver, and that’s when the situation got even more heated. A backseat passenger in the white H...

We can at least confirm that their set at Weekend One was a resounding success, and we doubt that Weekend Two will go down any differently.This is a band on the rise, local heroes-in-making who straddle the line between alternative and pop in a manner that suggests they can appeal to many markets without ever sacrificing their integrity. It’s been that way from the beginning, when they formed at the end of 2012. Their journey has been organic.“The mission since the beginning has just been to make music that we like to listen to, that we enjoy,” says Joy. “Always keep it coming from the right place, and to grow together doing this project. Ryan (Clapham, guitar) and Paul (Davis, bass) grew up together, on the same street, and have been making music together for a very long time. So they had this special connection. But...
