WENTZVILLE, Mo. - From Wentzville to St. Louis, schools are facing a stressful number of bus driver vacancies. In the Wentzville School District Transportation Department, a new approach is helping to fill some of those vacancies.When you think about driving a 40-foot piece of equipment with nearly 80 passenger seats, it can be stressful. Kim Boix and her team at the Wentzville School District Transportation Department say it can be intimidating.“It takes a special kind of person to drive a bus," Boix said.Now director of the department, Boix started out as a bus driver. With a passion for students' safety, it's why several on her team have stepped up to the job.“It’s a big responsibility, but the kids are wonderful," said Jeff Rascher, a long-time bus driver.More recently, he started training others.

Newsom calls DeSantis ‘small, pathetic man’ over new migrant flights

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:22:52 GMT

Gov. Ron DeSantis has restarted controversial migrant flights to other states, according to California’s attorney general, but this time that state’s rival governor is threatening to slap Florida officials with kidnapping charges for doing it.“Ron DeSantis, you small, pathetic man,” Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom wrote in a tweet Monday, which included a link to the California statute on abduction by force or fraud. “This isn’t Martha’s Vineyard,” he added, comparing it with the September incident.The flights are resuming just as DeSantis begins his campaign for the White House, which former GOP U.S. Rep. David Jolly of Florida, now an MSNBC news analyst, said was no coincidence.The Republican governor “has shown us that he’s willing to take official actions from the governor’s office that ultimately are done to support his presidential ambitions,” said Jolly, a co-founder of the Forward Party. “And the migrant flights are a perfect example.”Eight months after previous Florida-funded ...

Nuggets guard Ish Smith doesn’t regret unorthodox journey to NBA Finals: “It’s been a fun ride.”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:22:52 GMT

In 2010, Ish Smith believed he found a home in Houston. When he signed with the Rockets as a rookie, he was confident this was the franchise he would spend his career with.“I’m gonna be here for 10 years,” Smith recalled thinking.Life had other plans. Several other plans.Smith bounced between the Rockets and their G League affiliate — the Rio Grande Valley Vipers —before getting traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in February 2011. Later that year, Smith was waived by Memphis and then picked up by the Golden State Warriors.At 23, Smith had played for four different organizations in two seasons. His path as an NBA journeyman had begun.Over a decade later, Smith has played on 13 teams and lived in too many apartments to keep track of. But as he is on the verge of winning his first NBA title with the Denver Nuggets, he doesn’t regret his journey.“Everybody’s journey is different,” the 34-year-old point guard said. “You just have to soak it in and use it as a testimony for people to k...

Kurtenbach: The question isn’t what the Warriors want to do this offseason — it’s what they can do

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:22:52 GMT

Amid a critical offseason for the Golden State Warriors, there’s an essential distinction for fans to make:It’s not what the Warriors want to do with their roster this summer. It’s what they can do.It’s fun to imagine moves the Warriors can make to put the team in a better position to win a fifth title under Steve Kerr and Steph Curry. I’ve spent plenty of mental bandwidth on the subject. I’ve even written some of it down.But, as is often the case, reality is far more limited than one’s imagination.And with the Warriors, there are layers of restrictions in place that lead me to believe that this offseason will leave the team in a significantly similar place to where they entered it.The first limitation is that the Warriors lack an appointed top decision-maker in basketball operations. That’s a big deal when you’re trying to make big deals.Related ArticlesGolden State Warriors | Steve Kerr, Draymond Green on Bob Myers&#...

CNN video pokes hole in Boebert’s ‘protest’ missed vote story

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:22:52 GMT

By Daniel Dale and Morgan Rimmer | CNNOn Saturday, Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado posted a video on Twitter in which she claimed that she had intentionally skipped Wednesday’s key House vote on a bill to suspend the nation’s debt ceiling.“No excuses: I was ticked off they wouldn’t let me do my job, so I didn’t take the vote,” Boebert said, going on to allege that the voices of individual House members had been stifled during the legislative process. “Call it a no-show protest, but I certainly let every one of my colleagues and the country know I was against this garbage of a bill.”But Boebert’s claim of a deliberate “protest” absence is contradicted by her own words in the congressional record. After the vote ended on Wednesday, Boebert submitted an official statement in which she said she had been “unavoidably detained” for the vote and would have voted against the bill had she been present.And Boebert’s claim is further called into question by CNN footage from the Hous...

By Michael Liedtke | Associated PressCUPERTINO — Apple on Monday unveiled a long-rumored headset that will place its users between the virtual and real world, while also testing the technology trendsetter’s ability to popularize new-fangled devices after others failed to capture the public’s imagination.After years of speculation, Apple CEO Tim Cook hailed the arrival of the sleek goggles — dubbed “Vision Pro” — at the the company’s annual developers conference held on a park-like campus in Cupertino, California, that Apple’s late co-founder Steve Jobs helped design.“This marks the beginning of a journey that will bring a new dimension to powerful personal technology,” Cook told the crowd.Although Apple executives provided an extensive preview of the headset’s capabilities during the final half hour of Monday’s event, consumers will have to wait before they can get their hands on the device and prepare to pay a hefty price ...
