Despite channeling beast mode on the court, Canadian’s Lady Cat basketball team are as tenderhearted as kittens when it comes to members of our community who may be food insecure.

A steady rain fell on Washington National Cemetery yesterday as President Donald Trump marked Veterans Day with the traditional laying of a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The ceremony was the president’s first on-camera public appearance since Joe Biden successfully reassembled the so-called wall of blue states surrounding the Great Lakes—Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania—to defeat the incumbent.

All three sub-varsity Wildcat teams won their final games last week—and all three earned district championship honors, following in the well-traveled path of the varsity Wildcats, who also capped their regular-season schedule last week with a district trophy, and are off to the races in the bi-district playoffs.

Thank you for your service! The observance of Veterans Day this week is a reminder of past divisions in the world and the men and women sacrificed by nations. Veterans Day was created to observe the anniversary of World War I, the war to end all wars, in which an unthinkable 20 million people died and 21 million were wounded. The conflict was so brutal, no one could imagine that such a war would ever happen again. But it did. World War II started a mere 21 years later, and 3 percent of the world’s population (70-85 million) died.
