I'm A Celebrity's Dean McCullough stunned after McFly star Danny's four-word swipe
Each week The Sunday Times speaks with State MPs ahead of the March election. This week we speak with Labor MP for Nedlands, Dr Katrina Stratton In 2012, my partner Steve was killed in a motorbike accident. He clipped a kerb and he was thrown from his bike. My children, Cate and Oliver, were 3 and 9 when that happened. Steve was out for a ride at night. I was in bed, when police came to the door to essentially wake me up to a very different life. The person who taught me about courage was my grandmother, Marjorie Stratton, who lost two of her four children — and despite those losses, she loved with great ferocity. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. I have two amazing children, and I got out of bed every day for them. Steve would be so proud of the young people Cate and Oliver have become — kind, loving, protective and respectful. But I also had the most beautiful support from my family, my mum and dad, Richard and Jenny, and my dear mother-in-law, who has since passed away. Mum and Dad sold their house in Subiaco and moved in around the corner from the kids and I in Nedlands. They’ve been close by to help with the kids and juggling my various roles. It changes shape. It never leaves you. I will miss Steve every day for the rest of my life. I had a good experience with love. Not everyone can say that. If it (love) comes to me again that would be lovely but if it doesn’t, I have a lot of love in my life with two amazing kids and friends and family. Road fatalities take me back to that knock on the door. Your life is forever changed. Behind every news story, every report of a road death, there is another family that has got that knock on the door and their lives changed forever and thrown into a whole new world that they didn’t want. That your split-second decisions — to not wear your seatbelt, to look at your phone while you are driving, and get into the car when you have one too many drinks, to drive when you are tired, to speed — those split-second decisions that you make will have an impact on your family across the generations. Social work to me is inherently political. We work with people where systems aren’t working for them, or are impacted by poverty, violence and other issues. Politics to me was a natural progression. I am incredibly grateful to Mark McGowan. I wouldn’t have won Nedlands had it not been for his leadership (during COVID) and that of Roger Cook who was Health Minister during that time. When Dr Sally Talbot announced she was retiring I was given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to move to the Legislative Council. My social work background means I have a broad policy interest, and I think being in the Council — if I’m elected — will be a very good fit for me. We did the extension at Shenton College. And the children’s hospice, Sandcastles. That’s something I am really proud of. Sick and dying children will go there for respite. Families will be able to stay together. I’d say, ‘If you dare, put yourself in the shoes of those parents and imagine that if you had to face the worst possible thing that any family could face, a dying child, you’d want to be in an environment that was entirely focused on you and your child’. Maintaining good quality public education, which is why I’m proud of the expansion of Shenton College and the second stage opening of Bob Hawke College. Climate change is another big concern for people in Nedlands. It’s what social workers call a wicked problem. There is no one solution. It starts at home. We have to stop our boys listening to Andrew Tate (American social media identity and misogynist). We have to teach all our kids to engage in respectful relationships and what that looks like, as well as addressing the hard end — police responses, refuges and crisis support. We need to have women’s refuges where they are needed — like in the inner city. I will wear my high heels until my feet refuse. The 18th century widow Clicquot defied tradition and the law to create what is now this delicious champagne but hers is also a story of reinvention and becoming your true self in the face of tremendous loss, or grief. Given my background, I’d love to be the minister for the prevention of family and domestic violence, women’s interests, and communities. But minister (Sabine) Winton is doing an amazing job. Genuine. Approachable. Experienced. Omnishambles.ALTOONA – Harrisburg unleashed all its fight and resilience Saturday against Pittsburgh Central Catholic, and still it wasn’t enough to keep the Cougars’ engaging football season in gear. The Vikings took full advantage of countless short-field opportunities at Mansion Park Stadium but needed an end zone interception by freshman safety Chrys Black Jr. in the waning seconds to secure a frantic 38-33 PIAA semifinal victory. • Sign up for PennLive’s daily high school sports newsletter The Cougars, playing in their fourth straight 6A semifinal, clawed back from deficits of 13-0 and 38-21. In fact, the numbers proved how Calvin Everett’s hard chargers nearly sent the WPIAL champs packing. Harrisburg won the first down battle 23-12 and outgained the Vikings 540-243 in total yards from scrimmage. Staggering. However, quick scoring drives, 132 rushing yards by PCC’s Elijah Faulkner, and heady play by QB Jy’Aire Walls helped fend off the Cougars (11-3). Pittsburgh Central Catholic (12-2) advanced to next Saturday’s PIAA 6A Championship to play St. Joseph’s Prep at 7 p.m. The Cougars, paced by QB Jaiyon Lewis, WR Elias Coke and a dozen more, missed their chance to power into the season finale for the second time in three seasons. The stars The Vikings ruined Harrisburg’s opening half via pressure on special teams. A blocked punt by Bradley Gompers was one miscue by the Cougars that gifted PCC terrific field position. The Vikings’ four scoring drives in the first 24 minutes began at Harrisburg’s 42, 27, 34 and 28-yard lines. But the Cougars didn’t exactly shy away from PCC’s formidable attack. They simply hit back. A pair of TD runs by Messiah Mickens and a Jaiyon Lewis keeper pulled Harrisburg within 28-21 at the break. Another Walls score midway through the third, coupled with Billy Lech’s 36-yard field goal, only spiked Harrisburg’s approach. Lewis, who missed several minutes due to an injury, came back to find Quincy Brannon for a 62-yard score near the end of the third. Lewis finished 14 of 24 for 298 yards. His performance included a fourth-quarter heave to Coke, who burned the Vikings for 134 receiving yards on five catches. It was Coke’s 30-yard TD reception — one for the highlight reel — that got Harrisburg within five with under 7 minutes to play. Vikings’ WR/DB Xxavier Thomas collected 5 catches for 55 yards and delivered a handful of big returns. Game-winning moment Harrisburg would force PCC’s seventh punt in the final minutes and set up at its own 11 with 3:54 to play. On fourth-and-18, Lewis found Brannon across the middle to the PCC 26. After two short runs by Lewis and an incompletion, the QB sprinted right on fourth down and flipped into the end zone, where Black Jr. was waiting. PCC took one knee to erase the final 34 seconds. Mickens led Harrisburg’s rushing attack with 89 yards. Brannon totaled 97 yards on three receptions. Walls was 7 of 15 for 91 passing yards and was in on four scores for the Vikings. They said it: “The toughest part of stopping those guys was not getting frustrated and working together. As soon as one gets frustrated it’s cancer and people start messing up. We knew going in that we have a great offense and great players. Some of the players just had to realize that we’re always in it. It’s our mentality.” – Harrisburg OL Kevin Brown “How the tides were changing in the game, we had to stay composed, stay poised, and do what we do best. As long as we could keep the fundamentals clean and hold true to what we do, hold true to our buzz, we were going to pull out the dub.” – PCC WR/DB Xxavier Thomas “That’s my boy. All the recruits talk on a daily basis. That’s one of my true friends right there.” – Thomas on fellow Penn State recruit Messiah Mickens Pittsburgh CC 6-22-10-0 – 38 Harrisburg 0-21-6-6 – 33 First quarter PCC-Elijah Faulkner 42 run (pass failed), 5:10 Second quarter PCC-Jy’Aire Walls 13 run (Billy Lech kick), 10:28 H-Messiah Mickens 11 run (Gideon Fasanya kick), 9:20 PCC-Max Roman 25 pass from Walls (Walls run), 8:45 H-Mickens 15 run (Fasanya kick), 4:57 PCC-Xxavier Thomas 23 pass from Walls (Lech kick), 1:17 H-Jaiyon Lewis 1 run (Fasanya kick), :14 Third quarter PCC-Walls 1 run (Lech kick), 7:01 PCC-FG Lech 36, 4:20 H-Quincy Brannon 62 pass from Lewis (kick failed), 2:42 Fourth quarter H-Elias Coke 30 pass from Lewis (kick failed), 6:37 Team statistics PCC H First downs: 12 23 Rush-yards: 37-152 43-234 Passing: 91 306 Comp-Att-Int: 7-15-0 15-26-1 Fumbles-lost: 0-0 5-2 Punts-Avg.: 7-43.6 6-21.2 Penalties-yards: 6-46 8-82 Individual statistics RUSHING: Pittsburgh CC, Elijah Faulkner 25-132, Jy’Aire Walls 9-18, Roman Thompson 1-2, Team 2-0; Harrisburg, Messiah Mickens 18-89, Jaiyon Lewis 15-68, D’Antae Sheffey 2-49, Nehemiah Ewell 7-36, Mikal Shank Jr. 1-(minus-8).

The Franklin Institute is demystifying the organs and vessels that make our bodies tick with an $8.5 million exhibit opening Saturday. The "Body Odyssey" features interactive stations that invite kids to build bones, test a bionic hand and fight viruses as a white blood cell — but the centerpiece is a familiar sight for sore eyes. The Giant Heart is back on view after shutting down for seven months. While it is mostly unchanged, visitors can now add their heartbeats to the model's thumping soundtrack. The collection is divided into three sections: The first focuses on biological systems, offering brain teasers that demonstrate cognitive functions along with a full-body avatar that visualizes our skeletons and all the squishier components between them. Another section examines the future of health care through AI diagnostic tools and other cutting-edge technology. One station challenges visitors to pull a peg out of a board with a robotic arm used in surgery. Visitors control a robotic arm used in surgery through these joysticks. The final hub explores mental health. By tapping moods like "worried" or "peaceful," guests instantly change the colors on a screen representing brain waves. Other stations invite guests to draw their feelings or improve their sleep hygiene. "At a time when our information ecosystem often gives rise to misconceptions and misinformation about health, 'Body Odyssey' is a space where you'll find accurate, up-to-date information that's also relevant and inspiring," Jayatri Das, chief bioscientist at the Franklin Institute, said at a conference Wednesday. "... We hope that 'Body Odyssey' helps empower guests with the knowledge and confidence in science to make informed decisions about their health." The "Body Odyssey" collection spans over 8,500 square feet, combining the space previously occupied by the Giant Heart and an exhibit on electricity. And this weekend, i t's not the museum's only big reveal. The Franklin Institute is also unveiling the Hamilton Collections Gallery. This exhibit focuses on technological advancements, using another museum staple as the star attraction. The Baldwin 60000 locomotive has a new cutaway floor that shows its structural support. The 350-ton train has been at the Franklin Institute since 1933. The Baldwin 60000 locomotive, a 350-ton train the institute acquired in 1933, anchors this collection. Visitors can peak at the vehicle's new cutaway floor, which shows the steel and concrete bridges supporting it, or browse the 200 objects around it encased in glass displays. They include an early movie projector that incurred the wrath of Thomas Edison and a reproduction of the Strasbourg astronomical clock , which John Wanamaker displayed at his department store. Touchscreens invite visitors to explore even more objects in this collection. "These imaginative exhibits invite us to look inward — at the complexity of the human body — and outward, at the ingenuity of scientific innovation," Franklin Institute President Larry Dubinski said. "They exemplify our commitment to sparking curiosity and inspiring discovery, ensuring the Franklin Institute continues to be a place of wonder for generations to come." The museum has once again partnered with Federal Donuts on a custom treat to mark the occasion. The Body Odyssey doughnut mimics the red muscles and blue veins of the Giant Heart with its strawberry glaze and blueberry cream drizzle. It'll be available at all Federal Donuts locations through Nov. 27.
