On Dec. 7, Kirkland Lake’s Bella Batisse, who was 38 weeks pregnant, went to the hospital with contractions. She was checked over by a doctor, who decided to transfer her by ambulance to the Temiskaming Hospital in New Liskeard. En route, paramedics Brandi Ouellette and Natasha Albert of the District of Timiskaming Social Services Administration Board (DTSSAB) realized that the baby would arrive before arriving in New Liskeard. “The call came in the middle of the night during a snowstorm. We were travelling down Highway 11 with lights and sirens blazing, it was a Code 4 emergency,” Ouellette said in a joint statement to TimminsToday with Albert. A Code 4 is defined as a life-threatening situation which requires paramedics to drive with lights and sirens on to get to the hospital as quickly as possible. “It quickly became clear that the little one wasn’t going to wait for the hospital. We made the decision to pull over on the side of the highway, keeping our lights on for safety,” the paramedics said. “Thanks to the skilled support of nurse Ana, who happened to be travelling with us, we were able to safely deliver a healthy baby boy right there on the roadside.” Weighing in at five pounds six ounces, the yet-to-be-named baby boy arrived in the world at 12:36 a.m. on Dec. 8 near Aidie Creek Falls, about halfway to New Liskeard from Kirkland Lake. “As paramedics, we are trained to handle emergencies and prepare for everything that could go wrong. Often, we’re faced with severe injuries, illnesses, and loss. But this past weekend, everything went right,” the paramedics said. “It’s a rare experience to assist in the birth of a baby, and this was a first for both Natasha and me.” It was a rollercoaster of emotions for the paramedics. “Everyone came together seamlessly. Most importantly, mom did an incredible job, and we were fortunate to have such a positive outcome,” they said. Mary-Ann Toppi, the great aunt of the newborn, shared that Batisse and her baby are doing well and expressed the family’s immense gratitude. “We are forever grateful for Ana and the paramedics,” she said. “We’re just all so relieved that although everything unfolded so eventfully, everyone is safe and healthy.” The DTSSAB shared Batisse’s birth story in a Facebook post on Tuesday (Dec. 10), which has been getting a lot of attention. Kirkland Lake’s Bella Batisse delivered her son during a snowstorm on the way to the New Liskeard hospital. Supplied photo Toppi said the positive feedback on the post has been heartwarming. “I am happy to see the positive feedback for our first responders on the social media post. They do hero work on a daily basis. They deserve the recognition and appreciation,” she said. “Our family is forever grateful for them and the service they provide for our community.” Ouellette and Albert said this experience serves as a reminder for drivers to slow down when you see the lights of a first responder. “You never know what critical situation might be unfolding inside that vehicle,” they said. Toppi said Batisse and her baby boy, whose name has yet to be decided, are now home in Kirkland Lake adjusting to life as a family of four.

Limited time offer > With Souths now out of the running, the North Queensland Cowboys have emerged as the new front runner. The Cowboys and Bateman have reportedly been engaged in talks over a possible deal, however nothing has eventuated yet. In Townsville, Bateman would provide plenty of experience to a young, promising room of back rowers including Heilum Luki and Jeremiah Nanai. North Queensland lost a talented edge forward in Kulikefu Finefeuaki to the Dolphins in the offseason, so Bateman would be a welcome addition. At this stage, Bateman plans to return to Tigers training early next month even though the joint venture club are keen to release the forward from his contract two years early. Bateman is on the way out.

Pahulu, who won the 2024 Titans Rookie of the Year award, is said to be disgruntled with the club and is pushing to be released from his contract immediately. The dispute stems from Pahulu being rested for the Gold Coast’s final game of the 2024 season. Had he played in that, the 20-year-old would have received a bonus worth $40,000. The Bulldogs are monitoring the situation closely, as is the Raiders according to Sydney Morning Herald reporter Danny Weidler. Canberra have set their sights on Knights prop Leo Thompson , who goes off contract at the end of 2025, but according to Weidler, Pahulu is the Green Machine’s ‘Plan B’. Pahulu is reportedly frustrated with the club. (Photo by Chris Hyde/Getty Images) “I know Mal Meninga was up there (at the Titans) for a while and Mal is now at Canberra and he reckons this kid’s got it and he’s another Josh Papali’i, so that’s how good he is potentially,” Weidler said on the Footy Talk podcast. The Raiders are keen to bolster their front row stocks with Papali’i expected to hang up the boots at the end of next season. While rival clubs are circling, the Titans aren’t keen on letting a player with such potential like Pahulu leave without a fight. Weidler’s SMH colleague Michael Chammas said on the Footy Talk podcast that Gold Coast brass will meet with the forward later in the week.

The Bobby Sex Scandal remains one of the darkest political episodes in Bihar’s history. SSP Kunal relentlessly pursued the case, but it was effectively buried as CBI declared it a suicide even without visiting the crime scene On 29th December, Acharya Kishore Kunal, a former IPS officer of the 1972 batch, Chief of the Bihar State Board of Religious Trust, and founder Secretary of the Mahavir Mandir Trust in Patna, passed away. The 74-year-old Kunal suffered a cardiac arrest in the early hours of Sunday and was immediately taken to a hospital, where he passed away at around 8 AM. His son, Saayan Kunal, and daughter-in-law, Shambhavi Chaudhary, were present at the hospital at the time of his demise. Kunal’s body was later taken to his residence in Patna, where a large number of people gathered to pay their last respects. Former SSP Kishore Kunal’s life was marked by significant ups and downs. Among the cases that defined his career and haunted Bihar during his tenure was the infamous Bobby Sex Scandal. On 11th May 1983, two major newspapers in Bihar sent shockwaves across the state with a chilling revelation. Bobby, whose real name was Shwetnisha Trivedi, had died under suspicious circumstances. Bobby was the adopted daughter of a Congress leader and then Vice-Chairperson of the Bihar Legislative Council. Her body was secretly buried before any detailed investigation could be conducted. The news created a storm that shook every nook and corner of Bihar’s political landscape in the coming months. Then SSP of Patna, Kishore Kunal, initiated an investigation into her death days after the incident. What unfolded during the investigation was a web of sex, power, and crime that exposed the grim side of politics. Bobby’s real name was Shwetnisha Trivedi. She was the adopted daughter of Congress leader and then Vice-Chairperson of the Bihar Legislative Council, Rajeshwari Saroj Das. Bobby was known for her unparalleled beauty. Because of her charm, she was lovingly given the name “Bobby” by her admirers, inspired by Raj Kapoor’s film heroine. Due to her connection with Das, she secured a job as a telephone operator in the Legislative Assembly Secretariat. Despite her humble job, her charm captivated the elites of Bihar’s political arena. Several leaders were so flattered by her that they would hand over their entire travel allowances to her as gifts. On 8th May 1983, Bobby died, but the news of her death was suppressed for days. It was only after the news reports on 11th May 1983 that the people of Bihar became aware of the incident. According to her mother, she fell ill after consuming medicine, leading to hospitalisation, and she passed away during treatment. Her body was swiftly buried in a Christian cemetery, as Das was a Christian. Then SSP of Patna, Kishore Kunal, requested the post-mortem report for her death. Discrepancies in the post-mortem reports raised questions about the circumstances that led to her demise. This prompted the SSP to exhume the body twice for further investigation. One of the post-mortem reports suggested that she died from excessive bleeding. However, the second report indicated that she had died from a heart attack. Dissatisfied with these findings, SSP Kunal ordered the body to be exhumed a second time. This time, the forensic report shocked everyone: Bobby had died after consuming Malathion, a pesticide. The discovery turned the case into a full-blown murder investigation, and every politician close to Bobby became a suspect. As the investigation progressed, SSP Kunal discovered that Bobby had close ties with several influential leaders, including Congress politician and then Assembly Speaker’s son, Radha Nandan Jha. Testimonies from witnesses revealed that Jha had visited Bobby on the night of her death. Further investigations indicated that Bobby had been blackmailing some leaders with compromising photographs and letters. Such actions could have been the motive behind her murder. SSP Kunal conducted a sting operation to unearth the truth. He visited Das, Bobby’s adoptive mother, and hid a tape recorder under her chair. Pressed for details about Bobby’s death, Das broke down and confessed that Bobby’s health had deteriorated after taking medicine provided by Jha. She also revealed that a fraudulent doctor had treated Bobby, worsening her condition. The police now had enough evidence, and SSP Kunal sought to arrest Jha. However, then DIG Narendra Narayan Singh refused to permit the arrest. During that period, Chief Minister Jagannath Mishra had called SSP Kunal to take stock of the case. He was even threatened not to pursue the case as it would “burn his hands”. Immense pressure was placed on the state government as ample evidence against several leaders emerged. Around 44 MLAs and two ministers reportedly threatened Chief Minister Jagannath Mishra, stating that unless the case was transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), they would topple the government. Left with no choice, CM Mishra transferred the case to the CBI on 25th May 1983. While it was expected that the CBI’s investigation would uncover the truth and punish the culprits, what followed was another mystery. Numerous irregularities plagued the CBI’s investigation. Reportedly, no officer from the agency visited Patna for on-ground inquiries. The CBI concluded that Bobby had committed suicide due to unrequited love. This flimsy conclusion enraged the public, but as the PIL system did not exist at the time, no legal recourse was available unless her family filed a review petition. SSP Kunal relentlessly pursued the case, but it was effectively buried. The dubious report submitted by the CBI claimed that Bobby had ingested a laxative named Sensetable after her love affair failed. Despite the absurdity of this claim—given that the laxative could not cause death—the court accepted the report and closed the case. There were political consequences, albeit limited. CM Mishra was removed from office three months after the case came to light. Another Congress leader, Chandra Shekhar Singh, succeeded him as Chief Minister. SSP Kunal faced repercussions as well and was transferred. Although political pressure to remove him was significant, his popularity among the public deterred politicians from taking harsher action. The Bobby Sex Scandal remains one of the darkest political episodes in Bihar’s history. It serves as a testament to how the murky nexus of power, crime, and corruption can suppress even the most high-profile cases, despite public outcry. Kishore Kunal’s memoir, Daman Takshakon Ke, sheds light on the political establishment’s obstacles that prevented Bobby from receiving the justice she deserved. Nearly 40 years later, Bobby’s death continues to evoke unanswered questions, her story a haunting symbol of the compromises made in the pursuit of power.What does Sean Manaea's reunion with the Mets mean for the player, the team and the rest of the offseason?

TORONTO — Canada's main stock index pushed higher to end Monday up almost 150 points on light trading action, while U.S. stock markets also gained ahead of the Christmas break. "Today is a quiet pre-Christmas Day of trading," said Kevin Burkett, a portfolio manager at Victoria, B.C.-based Burkett Asset Management. While markets in both Canada and the U.S. were mild, Burkett suggests watching the markets closely during the holiday season, a contrast to what's typically a sleepy period for markets. "We're continuing to watch markets very closely here because you've got some tectonic plate shifting in terms of the macroeconomic backdrop," he said. "It's all the political conversations both in Canada and in the U.S." Burkett added fiscal policy seems to be disconnected from monetary policy in the post-pandemic period. "The fiscal policy may shift and that shift absolutely has market implications both in the short and long term," he said. The S&P/TSX composite index was up 149.50 points at 24,748.98. Statistics Canada released its latest numbers on Canada's economic growth, up 0.3 per cent in October — driven by the mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction sector. The loonie continued its slide, trading for 69.47 cents US compared with 69.61 cents US on Friday. The telecom sector was the biggest loser at the closing on TSX, which Burkett attributed to "tax loss selling happening at the end of the year." Competition Bureau Canada announced on Monday it was suing Rogers Communications Inc. for allegedly making misleading claims about its infinite wireless plans. The stock price for Rogers, which is hovering near 52-week lows, fell 0.7 per cent on Monday. Meanwhile, BCE was down almost 1.4 per cent and Telus dropped 0.9 per cent. Burkett suggested the day's poor performance among telecom companies was likely tax loss selling since it's almost the end of the year. "It's been a tough year for the communication services sector," he said. South of the border, communications services was the top-performing sector, led by large-cap tech companies. Several big technology companies helped support the gains, including chip companies Nvidia and Broadcom. In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 66.69 points at 42,906.95.
