Bombers' Dreamtime record intact as Gresham returns
Essendon's record of fielding at least one Indigenous player in every "Dreamtime at the G'' contest will remain intact after Jade Gresham declared himself fit. Sidelined by an adductor strain for the past two weeks, Gresham is set to return when the Bombers take on Richmond in the annual Sir Doug Nicholls Round feature match at the MCG on Friday night. "I'm all good to go. I got through training yesterday and Brad (Scott) gave me the all-clear that I'd be playing Friday night, which is awesome," Gresham said. "It's a game you want to play, as an Indigenous player, every year. "To be able to run out this week and represent your people is going to be really important for the footy club and, more broadly, for the AFL and the community." Former St Kilda forward Gresham, a proud Yorta Yorta man, will feature in "Dreamtime at the G'' for the second time, after running out in front of almost 80,000 fans last season. "I grew up coming to these games every year and running around in the Auskick at halftime," Gresham said. "I always dreamt to be able to run out in 'Dreamtime' and it's just an awesome occasion for the Indigenous community to represent your people." Richmond will also have at least one Indigenous player in Friday night's contest, with Rhyan Mansell set to play and Maurice Rioli Jr in the selection mix. Mansell, a proud Pakana man, helped design the Tigers' predominantly yellow "Dreamtime'' guernsey and addressed his teammates this week during Sir Doug Nicholls Round celebrations. "I told my story, my family's story and (that of) the guernsey," Mansell said. "We're really celebrating the week and what it really means to us as a footy club. "We've got good (Indigenous) history and we've got a lot of new boys coming in this week for their first Dreamtime (game). It's going to be very exciting."

‘A lot of emotions' as friends, family say goodbye to slain Happy Valley teen
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — There wasn't a dry eye in the church Saturday morning as family and friends took turns sharing happy stories about a teen who was shot and killed while sleeping at his dad's Gresham apartment last month. Dozens of people filled the pews at the Milwaukie Lutheran Church to say goodbye to 13-year-old Liam Spahnle-Bailey of Happy Valley. Domestic violence suspect allegedly tried to run from police in Portland high school parking lot Liam was sleeping over at his dad's apartment near 4700 SW 11th Street last month planning to wake up early to go snow boarding. But the teen's life was cut short when several rounds of gunfire from a neighboring apartment pierced the walls, striking Liam while he slept at around 1:30 a.m. He was rushed to get medical treatment, but died in the hospital. There was one other person injured in the incident who has since been released from the hospital. 'Experienced criminals': Portland leaders come together to address safety in the cannabis industry Currently, Gresham police are searching for 20-year-old Anthony Hunter, Jr., 20-year-old Xavier Hirsch and 16-year-old Terrell Coy, who are all wanted for Liam's death. They have each been charged with second-degree murder. 'I lost my kid. It's a lot of emotions going on,' said William Spahnle, Liam's father. 'I hope justice is served. And I hope that with the news release and the faces that they find, these guys get their justice.' Meanwhile, at the church, grieving friends and family shared memories of Liam, having to say goodbye far too soon. 'He has been brought to god's home,' said Pastor Jesse Christopherson. 'And who knows, even now he's snowboarding up on the peaks in heaven or something like that.' 'I love my son. I'm going to miss him. And I wish this never happened,' added Spahnle. 'And I got to deal with the aftermath of everything. And move forward the best we can.' Police say the three suspects should be considered armed and dangerous. Anyone who sees them should call 911.

‘Devastating amount of loss': Lac du Bonnet residents cope with tragedy
LAC DU BONNET — News of the deaths of two residents rippled through Lac du Bonnet Thursday, compounding the destruction of dozens of homes and the displacement of residents. 'It's just a tragic event,' said Glen Hart, a co-owner of Lake Like Powersports in Lac du Bonnet. Hart and his business partner, Craig Becker, opened the store's parking lot for evacuees to stay in trailers on the property or store equipment. MIKE DEAL / FREE PRESS Tracey Nurenberg, program coordinator for the Lunch Is On Us soup kitchen which serves soup and bread to vulnerable people every Tuesday and Thursday in the Lac du Bonnet Arena, made extra portions for evacuees, RCMP and emergency personnel. The co-owners were rocked by the news of the deaths of Sue and Rich Nowell, who were well-known members of the community. 'It's a devastating amount of loss, and I think it's a shock realization of what's possible with Mother Nature,' Becker said. Residents mourned the loss of the Nowells and comforted each another throughout the day at nearby campgrounds, the legion hall and restaurants in town. Many were still waiting for word on the state of their home or cottage and what — if anything — remained. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Volunteers quietly worked away in the Lac du Bonnet Arena kitchen Thursday morning as they prepared hamburger soup and buns for the local food program's biweekly pickup. Lunch is On Us serves soup and bread to vulnerable people every Tuesday and Thursday and made extra portions for evacuees, RCMP and emergency personnel. 'We've had some people come in, but I think everyone is sort of frozen and waiting to see if they can go back to their houses,' said program co-ordinator Tracy Nurenberg. For residents like Dorothy Gresham, she has no home to return to. Gresham evacuated Tuesday morning with her three dogs and some medication, but had to leave most of her possessions behind. '(My neighbour) bolted over and basically told me 'get the hell out,'' she said. MIKE DEAL / FREE PRESS Dorothy Gresham lost her family home in the Lac du Bonnet wildfire on Tuesday and has been staying at a friend's place. Gresham has lived in the area on-and-off since she was a girl and was neighbours with the Nowell family. They lived across a field from one another and visited often. She received photos and videos of her home Wednesday, which has been reduced to a foundation and charred land around it. She had been fielding calls and messages since Tuesday from family, friends and strangers, including several during an interview with a reporter, checking on her well-being. Gresham is staying at a friend's apartment in town and doesn't know what her future holds. Losing her neighbours hurts. 'That whacked me more than anything,' she said. 'You can fix a house, you can't fix… that.' The town's clergy have offered counselling to anyone who needs it, RM of Lac du Bonnet Reeve Loren Schinkel said.
