Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:24:25 GMT

A home in Truro was reduced to its foundation after a massive, overnight explosion rocked neighboring communities for miles, according to officials. No injuries were reported after the structure was leveled, sending debris across the property and shockwaves that were felt by locals nearly 20 miles away.“Tremendous explosion, big flash of light – we weren’t sure what it was,” said Rich Roberts, who witnessed the event and described a secondary explosion that created a massive fireball. “We both got out of bed and looked around and, I thought it was lightening (that) hit, but of course it was a completely clear night. My wife thought it was an earthquake.”Neighbors said the couple who lived at the home had been sleeping next door Thursday night, and that the building was going to be prepped for summer rentals.“It was just luck that they weren’t in that house,” said Kristin Perry, who woke up to the explosion. “Boom, the house...

Immanuel Quickley to use Sixth Man award snub as motivation: ‘always look for stuff to continue to fuel you’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:24:25 GMT

Immanuel Quickley took losing to Malcolm Brogdon in stride but vowed to forever recall the snub.“No doubt [it’s motivating],”Quickley said. “When I didn’t make All-Rookie, that was something that fueled me. So you always look for stuff to continue to fuel you and continue to help you get better. So that’ll be one thing that I’ll always remember for the rest of my career.”Quickley finished second to Celtics point guard in the Sixth Man of the Year voting that was announced Thursday. It was more lopsided than expected, with Brogdon nearly doubling Quickley’s first-place votes (60-34).Part of the PR push for Brogdon was Quickley’s games played as a starter (21), which theoretically diminishes a candidacy for a reserve award. Brogdon made all of his appearances off the bench.Quickley noted that previous winners— including Lamar Odom (2011), Aaron McKie (2001), Jamal Crawford (2014), Kevin McHale (1985) and Manu Ginoboli (...

Movie review: ‘Chevalier’ fails to convey scope of composer’s fascinating life

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:24:25 GMT

It’s a striking image — a young Black man, dressed in 18th-century French fashion, in a waistcoat and silk breeches, his hair braided in cornrows, holding a violin, the bow slung over his shoulder, the title “Chevalier” emblazoned below his feet. This movie poster almost looks like a Kehinde Wiley portrait, a radical reassertion of tradition, a disruption of the narrative we’ve been sold. This is a story that’s been crushed under the brutal wheel of history, war and racism, and the film “Chevalier,” about the composer and violinist Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, promises to unfurl this lost story in modern, exciting fashion.The lauded young actor Kelvin Harrison Jr. plays Joseph Bologne, a role seemingly tailor-made for the actor and musician raised in New Orleans. Bologne, the son of a French plantation owner and a young Senegalese enslaved woman, was born on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe and educated in France. He was a talented musician, composer and fencer, for...

‘Protect home court’: Heat look to regain momentum in Game 3 vs. Bucks

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:24:25 GMT

The Heat went to Milwaukee hoping to take one game from the top-seeded Bucks. They accomplished that, winning Game 1.An opportunity presented itself to come back home up 2-0 with Milwaukee star Giannis Antetokounmpo missing Game 2 with a back injury, but instead the Bucks rolled to a dominant 138-122 win. Now the series comes to Miami for two games where the Heat will try to seize control of the five remaining games, starting with Game 3 at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Kaseya Center.“We did what we were supposed to do. We got one, split on the road,” forward Max Strus said. “Now it’s important to take care of home court. It will be a big game [Saturday]. We’re looking forward to getting back out there and redeeming ourselves after last game.”But getting back into the rhythm that Miami showed in Game 1 will be easier said than done. Even without Antetokounmpo in Game 2, the Bucks still dominated the Heat with their size. Bobby Portis had 13 points ...

Max Scherzer accepted his 10-game suspension because it’s what is best for the Mets

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:24:25 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Max Scherzer was just trying to get a grip.Scherzer’s decision to accept the 10-game suspension that came from his ejection in Los Angeles doesn’t mean he’s admitting to guilt. Scherzer has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and is extremely frustrated that he is being suspended 10 games for using too much rosin during the Mets’ series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Accepting the suspension is simply what’s best for the Mets.“I’m going to follow what the Mets want me to do and that’s accept the suspension and come to a settlement with them,” Scherzer said Thursday at Oracle Park in San Francisco. “I came to a settlement with MLB on what the fine should be and I move forward.”The amount of rosin Scherzer used was deemed excessive, and a statement released by MLB seemed to dispute Scherzer’s notion that he only used rosin. It’s all a mess that Scherzer and the Mets a...
