Dunfermline Athletic poised to agree new deal with midfielder as 3 youngsters sign extensions
Dunfermline are poised to agree a new deal with midfielder Chris Hamilton. The former Hearts youngster was one of six players the Pars announced they were in dialogue with following the end of the season. The 23-year-old was joined by Victor Wanyama, Tashan Oakley-Boothe, Josh Cooper, Jeremiah Chilokoa-Mullen and Lewis McCann in having discussions with the East End Park outfit. And it is understood the two parties are close to an agreement in Hamilton's case. The Scotland U/21 cap has proven a committed and versatile performer for Dunfermline since joining in 2022 following a successful loan stint from Hearts at Arbroath. A boyhood Pars fan, he has racked up 119 appearances for the club he supported. That includes in six of Neil Lennon's seven games in charge. With Dunfermline holding an option to extend Chilokoa-Mullen's contract, he is also expected to be part of the Pars squad next term, whilst the likely re-signing of Cooper would be popular with supporters. Meanwhile, Dunfermline have announced that three more promising youngsters have put pen to paper on new contracts. The news follows the deal for Lucas Fyfe. Jake Sutherland, the younger brother of Pars striker Taylor, as well as Liam Hoggan and Ewan McLeod have committed their futures to the East End Park club. Sutherland, 18, finished top scorer on loan at Cowdenbeath this season with 16 goals in 29 appearances. He has agreed a two-year extension, whilst Hoggan, 18, and McLeod, 19, have both signed on for one more year. The trio caught the eye of watching first-team manager Lennon as they helped the club win the SPFL Reserve Cup with victory over Kilmarnock last month. 'I'm very delighted,' said Sutherland. 'It's great to sign a new deal after being an apprentice; it's the one you want. 'So, I'm delighted to sign a two-year deal. 'Of course, the ambition for myself is to be playing first-team football here. If not, going out at a higher level on loan. 'I'll see where pre-season takes me. I'll hopefully do well there and make a couple of appearances. 'It was very good at Cowdenbeath. It was a wee bit rocky to being with; I wasn't playing as much. 'But as soon as I started playing and scoring goals, I got 90 minutes most games and I kicked on playing men's football. It was really good. 'You just want to be playing minutes and if you're scoring it's a bonus. It's about improving and getting better.'

Restaurant owners grill up custom dishes for Owensboro Burger Week
OWENSBORO, Ky. (WEHT) — The 2025 Burger Week is underway in Owensboro and nearly 50 burgers are on this year's menu. The annual event began in 2021 as a way to push support to local businesses after the COVID-19 pandemic. Each year, the event has gotten bigger than the last as city officials tell us last year drew in approximately $1.5 million in sales from featured burger week items. Eyewitness News spoke with the restaurant owners of The Cottage, Windy Hollow Biscuit House and Libertalia to see how this year's festivities has affected their business. Libertalia owner, Chris Hamilton, was so busy he had to speak to us from behind the grill. He says the annual event is a 'remarkable experience' and tells us sales from one day of burger week is comparable to two weeks worth of normal sales. At Windy Hollow, owner Hallie McCarthy tells us the story of their burger and how it was named in honor of hostess Sarah Elliot. She says Elliot was also a longtime educator for Daviess County. McCarthy tells us they are glad this event gets to highlight the small businesses in Owensboro, especially those that typically have burgers on their daily menu. At The Cottage, owner Marlene Knight tells us they have exceeded the amount of supplies they allotted for the week and had to regain a bit to be able to finish out the rest of the week. With 49 burgers on the menu, local foodies have until Saturday, March 15 to enjoy these burgers and a winner will be crowned next week. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
