A perfect season by Platte County football is accompanied by a Class 5 State title after the Pirates took down Helias Catholic 49-14 on Saturday. Met with little resistance all season long, Platte County left Helias with zero hope of capturing a state championship by jumping out to a 35-0 lead before the Crusaders could muster any momentum. Junior dual-threat quarterback Rocco Marriott, considered to be one of the best quarterback prospects in the state of Missouri, accounted for two of the game's first three touchdowns and finishing his junior season with a superb championship performance in Columbia, Missouri. Marriott, considered a three-star prospect according to 247Sports, finished with 55 yards and two touchdowns rushing, as well as 279 yards and two touchdowns through the air in the win over Helias. The last two trips to a state championship game in 2019 and 2020 didn't end the way Platte County had hoped, as both seasons ended in a runner-up finish. This year, the Pirates are able to capture the coveted first place trophy in blowout fashion.

NoneAnalysis: Assad was a brutal dictator. Will Syria's new leaders be any better?An online promotion campaign and nighttime safety plan topped the agenda at the first meeting of Ottawa's new nightlife council, members say. The meeting earlier this month gave newly-appointed nightlife councillors an opportunity to meet and discuss the city's first nightlife action plan , member Eric Vance told CBC's Ottawa Morning on Monday. Vance, who is also a drag performer and co-owner of Glittershaker Events, said it's important for Ottawa to have a central online resource for event promotion. "We hear a lot of the time, that event sounded so great but we really didn't know it was happening," Vance said. "I think the online resource for promotion ... that's a really great way for people to find out about events." Vance is part of the new team of volunteer nightlife councillors assembled by the City of Ottawa and nightlife commissioner Mathieu Grondin in an effort to reverse Ottawa's image as the "city that fun forgot." City of Ottawa nightlife commissioner Mathieu Grondin was hired in June from a role promoting Montreal's nightlife. (Spencer Colby/The Canadian Press) The nightlife council was greenlit last year as part of a nightlife action plan to develop and promote a "more vibrant, diverse, inclusive, viable, safe, and well-managed nightlife." Vance said in addition to larger organizations such as Ottawa Tourism, members representing "the little guys who make some really great stuff happen" also appeared. 'Spirit of celebration' Rachel Weldon, director of Ottawa arts non-profit Debaser, attended the meeting. Although Weldon acknowledged that some people might be fatigued by family commitments during the holidays, she said nightlife can still thrive. "Everybody's budget is a little bit stretched tighter this time of year, and they have other social events," said she said. "But there is also a spirit of celebration in the air." 'The city fun is about to remember': Meet Ottawa's new nightlife commissioner Ottawa's night mayor is building a nightlife council Like Vance, Weldon often works on smaller scale events that range up to 1,000 people. She hopes by bringing a voice for those events to the nightlife council, she can help artists and cultural workers carve out a better career in nightlife. "We're looking for a better industry for the people who participate in it, who make it run," she said.
Steelers QB Wilson is spreading the wealth on offensePressure is on the Albanese government to make headway on its long list of stalled legislation before the federal election. or signup to continue reading Housing will be back in spotlight during the final sitting week of 2024, with the Help to Buy government equity scheme and incentives for build-to-rent to be brought to a final vote in the Senate. The two housing bills have struggled to attract the support of the opposition or the Greens, with Labor knocking back fresh demands from the latter. Central to the Greens' updated position is funding for 25,000 "shovel-ready" homes not given the go-ahead under the first round of the Housing Australia Future Fund. Labor insists the demand is unlawful and would result in the construction of million-dollar homes that are not value for money. Greens housing spokesman Max Chandler-Mather said his party had designed "a compromise offer that is popular, achievable and easy to accept, it requires no new legislation and sits broadly within government policy". With 30 or so bills still before the parliament, the government has been ramping up pressure on the Greens and the coalition to co-operate. "This is a week where we will see the colour of the eyes of Peter Dutton and the Greens party," Employment Minister Murray Watt told reporters on Sunday. A friendless crackdown on misinformation and disinformation has been shelved and gambling reforms have been pushed into next year. Though the government is expecting wins on its aged care reforms and its social media age limit, with the former expected to attract opposition support. Under world-first legislation, Australians younger than 16 will be banned from social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit and X (formerly Twitter). Labor will also be spruiking its Future Made in Australia plan, with its hydrogen and critical minerals production tax incentives to be introduced to parliament on Monday. Economic management will likely get some airtime after monthly inflation figures are released on Wednesday, with headline inflation expected to once again land within the Reserve Bank of Australia's target band. But with the central bank's preferred underlying gauge - stripped of the volatility inflicting the headline number - likely to remain above the two-three per cent band, keenly-anticipated interest rate cuts are likely to stay on ice.

Kennedy was assassinated as his motorcade passed through downtown Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. Even after over six decades, conspiracy theories about what happened that day still swirl and the desire to follow every thread of information hasn’t waned. President-elect Donald Trump made promises over the summer that if reelected he would declassify the remaining records. At this point, only a few thousand of millions of pages of records related to the assassination have yet to be fully released. And those who have studied what's been released so far say that the public shouldn’t anticipate any earth-shattering revelations even if the remaining files are declassified.

The Morgan Library & Museum says the untitled and unsigned piece is the first new manuscript of the Romantic era virtuoso to be discovered in nearly a century.
