Gary West Side Leadership Academy students, parents, and staff members voiced surprise and shock over the school board’s decision not to renew the contract of Principal Carl Scott by a 3-1 vote.

Upset students walked out of school Friday and others questioned the move at the Feb. 19 school board meeting.

On Monday, Mayor Eddie Melton said he received about 10 calls from Scott supporters, as well. He said he plans to discuss the matter with the board and school leaders, although he has no authority over the schools.

He does have one appointment to the board, Glenn Johnson, who voted in favor of the nonrenewal, along with Danita Johnson Woods and Shontrai Irving. Angela Lockett was the lone “no” vote. Board chairman Michael Suggs was absent.

Schools typically don’t discuss personnel matters in public. Scott’s name didn’t appear on the Feb. 19 agenda, just the nonrenewal of a high school principal. West Side is Gary’s lone high school.

Senior Joel Moore, who is president of the student council, said students didn’t hear about the nonrenewal vote until the day of the meeting and many couldn’t attend.

“We were really upset. Myself and two other seniors wanted to get a protest going on,” said Moore, who credited Scott for helping him get a part-time job at Culver’s in Merrillville.

“He’s done so much for us and our community. For me personally, he fought for me to get scholarships. I’m at $10,000 now. I’m like, we gotta fight for him.”

Moore and friends spread the word of a noon walkout on Friday and several students took part. He said they deliberately marched to the central administration headquarters on the west side of the school.

“They haven’t heard our voices. Many of us have different stories about how Mr. Scott affected our lives.”

Moore said a second walkout was planned for Monday, but Scott asked them to cancel it.

On Monday, Superintendent Yvonne Stokes issued a statement saying the district was unable to share specific details regarding the decision not to renew the principal’s contract.

“We understand that leadership transitions can bring strong emotions from members of the school community, including students, staff, and families. We respect these perspectives and deeply value the engagement and voice of our community.

“Students have the right to express their viewpoints. However, demonstrations that substantially disrupt the educational environment — such as walkouts during instructional time — are not permitted. Students who engage in actions that disrupt learning will be subject to the guidelines outlined in the district’s Behavior Matrix,” Stokes said.

Assistant Principal Janora Holmes said she returned to West Side after a previous stint because of Scott. “It was very disturbing to see the nonrenewal…”

She said her son and his classmates praised Scott’s tenure.

“My son and his 2026 class believe their principal honed in on their academic abilities and respects their voice.

“The changes have brought an air of uncertainty and chaos.”

Angela Hamblin-Blakely, a teacher and girls basketball coach, also backed Scott.

“He leads with intentionality and focus with emphasis on instruction and academic alignment. Those things matter.

“Students deserve leadership and someone willing to make hard decisions to move the school forward.”

Scott couldn’t be reached for comment.

Former emergency manager Paige McNulty appointed Scott co-principal at West Side along with Brandi Herrod in 2022 after input from a selection committee that included students and parents. Herrod now works at the 21st Century Charter School in Gary.

Scott, a West Side graduate, has a master of arts degree in education from Indiana University Northwest.

A 7-year-old girl was the first recipient in Lynwood’s history to receive a key to the village for a 911 call she made when her father fell.

Mia Dates called 911 last month after she found her father, Xavier, unconscious in their home after he fell down the stairs and hit his head on the steps, he said. When he regained consciousness, he said he heard Mia giving dispatchers their address. She waited for them while her mother, Star, was at work.

When paramedics arrived, Dates said they told him how brave and strong his daughter was.

Mia said she was nervous to pick up the phone and call officials. She said she felt excited to receive the key ahead of Tuesday’s Village Board meeting.

Dates said he also was excited for his daughter and how she was being honored for her heroic act.

“The most important part is that we’re celebrating something good and we’re not here looking for her or something negative,” Dates said.

He was taken to Franciscan Health Dyer in Indiana for about seven hours. Dates said he experiences back pain and is out on medical leave, but is making a slow and steady recovery. He plans to return to work as a railroad conductor next month.

Village Hall was packed Tuesday with friends, family and residents as Mia was presented the key by Mayor Jada Curry. As Dates prepared to give a speech, he wiped away his tears at the podium and said “Mia, thank you.”

Star said when Mia was 3, she taught her what to do in case of an emergency, and said she was happy she listened.

Lynwood police Chief Gregory Thomas said he was thoroughly impressed with how Dates handled the call. He said it is a concern of his and the department that children don’t know what to do in such situations.

“For someone of her age to be so ready and to have such bravery is certainly inspiring to us all,” Thomas said.

“The youth should understand that the police are meant to help and protect them,” Thomas said.

He said Dates’ case is a good example. He said parents should inform their children what to do in case of emergencies and he credited Mia’s parents and others for making sure she knew how to respond.

Giving Mia the key, Thomas said, was to show young people what happens when they make good choices.

“Our youth need to understand that when you do right, and you do things, there is a chance that people would acknowledge you for those things,” he said. “This attention that Mia’s getting, hopefully, inspires others her age.”

Curry said the time to give Dates the key to the village was fitting because it is Black History Month. Also having it be presented by another woman is a good representation of leadership, too, she said.

“You can’t be what you can’t see,” Curry said. “So Mia seeing my face shows her the sky is the limit.”

With the recent death of the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Curry said Dates’ act of bravery is something that Jackson would have hoped to see.

“I could only wish that he were here tonight to see that his journey meant something and that it continues to mean something because it paved the way for people like Mia to be bold, be brave, be fearless and become special human beings,” Curry said.

Dates also received an iPad from the village trustees, a Life Saving Award from Thomas and a Life Saving Award Certificate from fire Chief LaShaun Alston.

“When I first heard about it, I was nervous, like ‘Oh my God, she’s so young,’” Lampkin said. “Then after I heard the whole story, I was overwhelmed with proudness.”

Lampkin’s husband, Willie, said his wife kept telling him they had to go and see Mia be recognized.

“I wouldn’t have missed it for nothing in the world,” Willie said.

He, too, was proud of his niece. Mia wants to become a safety official when she grows up.

“I think, well, I know she’s gonna grow up to do great things,” he said.

El exsecretario del Tesoro de Estados Unidos Larry Summers renunciará a su puesto docente en la Universidad de Harvard en medio de una revisión por parte de la institución sobre sus vínculos con el fallecido delincuente sexual convicto Jeffrey Epstein, anunció la universidad el miércoles.

Summers, quien está de licencia desde noviembre y cuyo nombre apareció cientos de veces en los archivos sobre el caso Epstein que fueron publicados recientemente, dejará el cargo al final del año académico, de acuerdo con un comunicado del portavoz de Harvard, Jason Newton.

“El profesor Summers ha anunciado que se retirará de sus nombramientos académicos y docentes en Harvard al final de este año académico y permanecerá de licencia hasta entonces”, señaló Newton.

Summers afirmó en un comunicado que fue una decisión difícil y expresó su gratitud a los estudiantes y colegas con los que trabajó durante 50 años.

“Libre de responsabilidades formales, como presidente emérito y profesor jubilado, con el tiempo espero dedicarme a la investigación, el análisis y los comentarios sobre una variedad de asuntos económicos globales”, dijo Summers.

Summers se desempeñó como secretario del Tesoro durante el mandato del expresidente Bill Clinton y posteriormente fue presidente de Harvard durante cinco años a partir de 2001.

Un conjunto de archivos publicado por el gobierno arrojó nueva luz sobre la relación de Summers con Epstein, la cual se extendió durante años e incluyó visitas a sus respectivas residencias en Massachusetts y Nueva York. Ambos intercambiaron correos electrónicos sobre temas que iban desde política y economía hasta mujeres y romance.

Summers, quien ha estado casado desde hace 20 años, consultó a Epstein sobre una relación con una mujer a la que estaba dando tutorías de economía, según correos electrónicos de 2018 y 2019. Epstein se describió a sí mismo como el “wing man” de Summers y le recomendó ser persistente. En un correo electrónico de 2018, Summers dijo que la mujer nunca fue su alumna, pero que “conozco a su padre desde hace más de 20 años como funcionario económico chino”.

“Llevo una muy buena vida con Lisa, los niños, etc.”, escribió Summers en un correo electrónico de 2018, en referencia a su esposa. “Es fácil ponerla en riesgo por algo que quizá nunca se materialice o, si sucede, pueda resultar pasajero”.

En un correo electrónico de 2016, Summers aparentemente utilizó insulto despectivo hacia las personas asiáticas mientras hablaba de una próxima reunión entre Epstein y un funcionario de una universidad china.

En respuesta a revelaciones previas, Summers dijo el año pasado que “me arrepiento enormemente de muchas cosas en mi vida” y que su asociación con Epstein fue un “gran error de juicio”.

Funcionarios de Harvard no han dicho mucho públicamente sobre Summers. Cuando Summers se tomó licencia el año pasado, la universidad indicó que estaba revisando a “personas en Harvard” que aparecían en los documentos de Epstein “para evaluar qué acciones podrían estar justificadas”.

Los vínculos de Epstein con Harvard fueron el foco de un informe emitido por la institución en 2020, el cual llegó a la conclusión de que el financiero donó más de 9 millones de dólares a la universidad, en su mayoría para un centro fundado por el profesor de matemáticas y biología Martin Nowak. El informe no mencionó la relación entre Summers y Epstein. Harvard sancionó posteriormente a Nowak.

Debido a sus vínculos con Epstein, Summers recibió una prohibición de por vida por parte de la American Economic Association, una asociación académica sin fines de lucro dedicada a la investigación económica, en diciembre pasado.

La renuncia de Summers es la consecuencia más reciente de la divulgación de archivos sobre el caso Epstein por parte del Departamento de Justicia. Las renuncias se han extendido por las comunidades académica, jurídica y empresarial.

En Reino Unido, el expríncipe Andrés y el exdiplomático Peter Mandelson fueron arrestados recientemente debido a sus conexiones con Epstein y su confidente, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Cuban Border Guards Kill Four People On American Speedboat

Tyler Durden
Wed, 02/25/2026 – 14:38

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/cuba-kills-four-us-linked-speedboat 

INDIANAPOLIS — The Chicago Bears will have needs — not wants — at all three levels of their defense.

It has been obvious for some time the team has heavy lifting to do in the secondary with every safety on the 2025 roster coming out of contract. And the Bears have openly discussed needing to add to the defensive line.

Linebacker is a bona fide need, too, as the team made it clear Wednesday it will be moving on from Tremaine Edmunds, who led the defense in tackles last season despite missing four games with a minor groin injury.

A league source said the Bears have granted Edmunds permission to seek a trade during the NFL scouting combine. What does that mean? Edmunds’ camp will see if another team is willing to potentially flip a late-round draft pick in exchange for Edmunds, who is signed for $15 million entering the final year of his contract with none of that money guaranteed.

If a trade can’t be brokered, the Bears are expected to release Edmunds. Either move would create $15 million in needed salary-cap savings for 2026.

Edmunds, who turns 28 in May, was a first-round pick by the Buffalo Bills in 2018 and signed a four-year, $72 million contract with the Bears in 2023 free agency. He has played in eight NFL seasons and was at the top of his game at the start of last season. He had 89 tackles, four interceptions, nine passes defended, one sack and three quarterback hits through the first 10 games before suffering the groin injury at the end of the Week 11 victory at Minnesota.

The list of free-agent linebackers is relatively thin, but it’s a weak class for free agency overall. The Green Bay Packers’ Quay Walker and the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Devin Lloyd are at the top of the linebacker market. Edmunds probably would slot into the next tier if he’s on the market, so he likely would have options.

It wouldn’t be surprising if the Bears look to re-sign D’Marco Jackson, who will be an unrestricted free agent. Jackson got playing time filling in for Edmunds and T.J. Edwards, who is recovering from a broken leg.

There’s plenty of work ahead to outfit defensive coordinator Dennis Allen with a new depth chart for 2026.

“We feel a lot better about having the health of our secondary be a lot better this go-around,” coach Ben Johnson said Tuesday. “Last year, between Kyler (Gordon) and Jaylon (Johnson), we didn’t feel like we were at full strength there on the back end for the majority of the season. I think that’s going to help out.

“There’s ways we can generate more pass rush up front. That’ll help out significantly as well. It’s something we’re looking at — how do we upgrade the personnel in certain spots? There’s a number of guys that are up, contract-wise. There will be a retooling there to a degree. I know D.A. is looking forward to the opportunity to get his hands on these guys one more time and see what that looks like.”

Five days after he was lumped into a group called “major sleazebags” by President Donald Trump, Rick Woldenberg sat in the gallery of the U.S. House of Representatives in awe of where he was, listening to the president’s State of the Union address as the guest of U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Highland Park.

Woldenberg, a Highland Park resident, is the CEO of Vernon Hills-based Learning Resources, Inc. The company sued the Trump administration in April over the tariffs Trump imposed and their potential impact on the company.

Schneider announced on Feb. 19 that Woldenberg would be his guest at the State of the Union. The following day, the U.S. Supreme Court voted 6-3 in determining that the tariffs imposed were unconstitutional. In the wake of the decision, Trump criticized some of the justices and called the people who brought the lawsuit “major sleazebags.”

Woldenberg did not seem bothered by the slight as he recounted his experience at the State of the Union Tuesday night.

“As I looked at the surroundings, I was proud to be in the place that symbolizes our democracy,” he said after the speech. “I was having an out-of-body experience.”

Meanwhile, members of Congress representing Lake County had more criticism than praise for Trump’s State of the Union address, criticizing the president’s inability to be a unifying leader.

Not all members of the Lake County delegation were in the House Chamber. Schneider and U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, were there, but U.S. Rep Jan Schakowsky, D-Evanston, and U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Chicago, made other plans.

Nonetheless, local Republicans liked what they heard.

Though Trump did not mention Woldenberg during his speech, he was critical of the Supreme Court justices who voted that the tariffs he imposed in April were unconstitutional. He said he will continue imposing them, taking a different tack.

“And then just four days ago, an unfortunate ruling from the United States Supreme Court, it just came down,” Trump said in his speech. “So, despite the disappointing ruling, these powerful country saving, it’s saving our country the kind of money we’re taking in, peace protecting.”

Woldenberg said hearing Trump talk about the lawsuit his company filed challenging the tariffs contributed to his “out of body experience.” The litigation had nothing to do with politics, he said; it was about Learning Resources’ mission.

“We’re trying to help with our educational products to provide a good start for kids,” Woldenberg said. “We’re in our fourth generation. We’ve been making toys since 1916.”

Schneider said there were unifying moments near the start of the speech and at the end, but in between — the speech lasted 108 minutes, the longest State of the Union in history — there was plenty of criticism of Democrats and inaccurate statements.

Early in the evening, Trump honored the U.S. men’s gold medal-winning Olympic hockey team. The players walked onto the House floor to a standing ovation. At the end, Trump awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor to two members of the U.S. Armed Forces, including Royce Williams, a Navy pilot from World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam, who turns 100 on July 4.

(Kenny Holston/The New York Times via AP, Pool)

“Unfortunately, the rest of the president’s address was just more of (his) tired old grievances and lies,” Schneider said. “It’s obvious he has no serious plan to help hardworking Americans get ahead, no plan to lower the cost of groceries, to make it easier to buy a home or afford healthcare for their families.”

During his speech, Trump said the first year of his current term saw more jobs created than ever before. The record was in 2021 and 2022 as the country recovered from the coronavirus pandemic, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Schneider said manufacturing jobs declined last year.

Foster said he attended the speech out of respect for the office of the president, but not for Trump himself. He set a goal for his presence on the House floor, and it was reached in less than an hour.

“After five bald-faced lies, I did what I did last year and left,” he said. “He was in business in the 1970s, so he knew what he was saying was false,” he added, referring to Trump’s claim he cured the country’s record inflation.

Mark Shaw, a Lake County resident and the Republican state central committeeman for the 10th Congressional District, said in a text Tuesday night the speech was very “Reaganesque, and one of the finest speeches he has ever given,” referencing former President Ronald Reagan.

Shaw was also critical of the Democrats’ behavior.

“I also believe the Democrats’ refusal to stand for, and/or applaud, almost anything President said or did was disrespectful to the office of the presidency, the solemnity of the State of the Union, and a divisive demonstration for the American people,” Shaw wrote. “Their exhibition of disunity is what has caused our political discourse to become so toxic.”

Keith Brin, the chair of the Republican Lake County Central Committee, said in a text Tuesday night that he liked what Trump said about reducing the cost of living. It is part of the message of the local party for the upcoming November election.

“I appreciate the President’s focus on lowering costs for working families and improving the economy,” Brin said in the text. “That’s the number one priority for Lake County Republicans, and it’s the priority for our candidates.”

Schakowsky, who is in her last term, said in an email she could not attend last night, “and pretend everything is normal with families across my district.” Quigley chose to attend a virtual town hall in Barrington, according to his staff.

CME Halts All Metals, NatGas Markets Due To “Technical Issues”

PEORIA, Arizona, EE.UU. (AP) — Cal Raleigh ya ha conectado un jonrón esta primavera, pero el receptor de los Marineros de Seattle, que batea a ambos lados del plato, no está centrado en intentar pegar 60 cuadrangulares otra vez esta temporada.

Raleigh, quien lideró las Grandes Ligas con 60 jonrones el año pasado, conectó un cuadrangular de 427 pies contra los Medias Blancas de Chicago en un juego de exhibición el martes. Su primer jonrón de la primavera llegó en su tercer partido.

“Creo que el elefante en la habitación son los 60 jonrones. No es algo que me proponga hacer. Para mí, solo se trata de ser lo más constante posible, de intentar hacer lo que hice el año pasado”, dijo Raleigh.

Sus 60 jonrones de la temporada pasada fueron la mayor cantidad para un jugador que fue principalmente receptor, tras haber sido titular en 119 juegos detrás del plato y en otros 38 como bateador designado. Raleigh, de 29 años, también estableció un récord personal de 125 carreras impulsadas y terminó segundo en la votación al Jugador Más Valioso de la Liga Americana, detrás del toletero de Aaron Judge, el toletero de los Yankees de Nueva York que obtuvo el galardón por tercera vez.

Judge y Raleigh tienen previsto jugar con el equipo de Estados Unidos en el Clásico Mundial de béisbol, cuya fase de grupos arranca la próxima semana. Judge estableció el récord de la Liga Americana con 62 jonrones en 2022.

Ambos figuran entre los apenas siete jugadores con una temporada de 60 jonrones, y Mark McGwire y Sammy Sosa son los únicos que lo lograron en campañas consecutivas (1998 y 1999). McGwire y Sosa son los únicos peloteros con múltiples temporadas de 60 jonrones, y Sosa sumó una tercera en 2001.

CIUDAD DE MÉXICO (AP) — La violencia que estalló en México tras la muerte de un poderoso capo del narcotráfico ha dejado a muchos preguntándose si el país podrá ser coanfitrión de la Copa del Mundo en poco más de tres meses.

El presidente de la FIFA Gianni Infantino cree que sí.

“Por supuesto que estamos monitoreando la situación en México en estos momentos, pero quiero decir desde el principio que tenemos confianza total en México, en su presidenta (Claudia) Sheinbaum, en las autoridades y que estamos convencidos de que todo va a pasar de la mejor manera posible”, dijo Infantino en una conferencia de prensa en Barranquilla, Colombia, a última hora del martes.

“México es un gran país, es un país de fútbol, como en cada país en el mundo pasan cosas, no vivimos en la luna o en otro planeta pasan cosas”, agregó. “Por eso tenemos Estados, policías, autoridades que van a asegurar el orden y la seguridad”.

El ejército mexicano mató el domingo a Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, “El Mencho”, quien lideraba el Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación, lo que desató varios días de violencia. Integrantes del cártel incendiaron autos y bloquearon carreteras en casi una docena de estados mexicanos. Las autoridades informaron que al menos 70 personas han muerto.

Cuatro partidos de ligas locales fueron pospuestos el domingo pasado, incluido uno en la ciudad central de Queretaro, donde México tiene previsto jugar contra Islandia a última hora del miércoles en un partido amistoso.

México albergará 13 partidos del Mundial, incluido el duelo inaugural en la Ciudad de México el 11 de junio entre el coanfitrión y Sudáfrica. Guadalajara, eje del cártel de Jalisco, tiene previsto recibir cuatro.

Colombia tiene previsto jugar un partido en Ciudad de México y otro en Guadalajara.

“Nuestros primeros dos partidos son en México, pero sabemos que lo van a superar y que van a salir adelante”, manifestó Ramón Jesurún, el presidente de la Federación Colombiana de Fútbol. “Tengo absoluta y total confianza en mi pensamiento geopolítico que es un tema que México lo va a superar y lo va a superar muy rápido”.

Otras naciones han expresado mayor preocupación. La federación portuguesa de fútbol señaló el martes que estaba siguiendo de cerca los acontecimientos antes de un amistoso contra México en el Azteca en marzo. Jamaica tiene previsto jugar contra Nueva Caledonia en Guadalajara el 26 de marzo en una semifinal de repechaje intercontinental, y el ganador avanzará para enfrentar a Congo por una plaza al Mundial.

“Los partidos son a finales de marzo, así que todavía tenemos otro mes para ver qué pasa; pero, para ser honesto, esto me pone muy nervioso”, señaló Michael Ricketts, el presidente de la Federación Jamaicana de Fútbol. “Estaremos atentos a que la CONCACAF y la FIFA nos den instrucciones sobre si se juegan los partidos o si de inmediato están buscando otras opciones”.

Otra ciudad mexicana, Monterrey, albergará un repechaje en el que Bolivia juega contra Surinam y el ganador se enfrenta a Irak por un lugar en el torneo.

Sheinbaum dijo el lunes que existen “todas las garantías” de que los partidos de la Copa del Mundo en Guadalajara se jugarán según lo previsto y añadió que no hay “ningún riesgo” para los aficionados que asistan al torneo.

“Estamos en contacto regular con la presidencia y las autoridades y seguimos la situación, el Mundial va a ser una fiesta increible”, expresó Infantino.
