Third ACL heartbreak for luckless Richmond youngster
Richmond youngster Judson Clarke has suffered more injury heartbreak after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee for the third time. Clarke suffered the latest setback playing in the VFL on Saturday - a cruel blow just as he was on the cusp of an AFL recall. The 21-year-old was playing his sixth game back after tearing his ACL for a second time in April last year He first tore the ACL in his right knee in 2019 - two years before he was snared by Richmond with pick No.30 in the 2021 national draft. Clarke kicked 11 goals for Richmond across 13 games in 2023, before his 2024 campaign was cruelled early by his second ACL tear. The skilful left-footer re-signed with Richmond until the end of 2026 just last month, and he impressed with two goals from 27 disposals in the VFL last week. But his AFL career now hangs in the balance following his latest setback. "Judson is a great character and has worked so hard behind the scenes to get himself back playing football and into fantastic form," Richmond's general manager of football Tim Livingstone said. "This is such an unfortunate setback for Judson, and we are all so disappointed that he will not be on the field for a little while. "He will have the support of everyone at Richmond to come back again from this, and we know he will give it his all." Fellow Tiger Campbell Gray, a mid-season draftee from last year who has been playing as a key back, has a posterolateral knee injury that does not require surgery. He is expected to miss some football, with a timeline for his injury to be clearer in the coming days.

Busy weekend at downtown nest as 4 peregrine falcon chicks hatch
It's falcon season in Hamilton again. On Saturday, four peregrine chicks hatched in a nest on the 18th floor of the downtown Sheraton hotel. McKeever, the mother falcon nesting there since 2022, laid four eggs within about a week in late March. According to Falconwatch, the community group that monitors the nest, says this may be the first time they've recorded a mother's chicks all hatching within the same day. Peregrines have nested at the hotel in Hamilton since at least 1995, and throughout that time, Falconwatch has supervised them using webcams and volunteers who track the birds as they learn to fly, ready to help if a bird is injured or gets stuck somewhere. WATCH | Hamilton peregrine falcons are banded and weighed in 2024: Hamilton peregrine falcons are banded and weighed 12 months ago Duration 1:03 Pat Baker, a senior monitor with Falconwatch — formally the Hamilton Community Peregrine Project — said this year's chicks will be banded later this month. That's a process in which chicks are brought inside and have identifying markers attached to their legs for conservation purposes. Falconwatch has historically worked with the Toronto-based Canadian Peregrine Foundation to do that work. At last year's banding, foundation head Mark Nash said because of monitoring efforts, researchers know urban peregrines are out-producing their rural counterparts. "[Cities] can be and have been a very hospitable place for your peregrines … with a lot of support in-between," he said. Peregrine falcons, the world's fastest animal, were once endangered in Ontario, largely because of the pesticide DDT. The bird of prey is now considered a species of special concern, meaning they could still be at risk but are not endangered. Ontario's recovery strategy for the species includes promoting community monitoring by groups such as Hamilton's or one in Windsor. A Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks page cites a case in which an unnamed partner promoted a volunteer fledge watch and found those who participated "increased survival of young Peregrine Falcons from 47 to 79 per cent in one year." Last year, McKeever and her mate Judson, successfully fledged two sisters: Blakeley, and Stinson. They had a third chick, Westdale, who died from an illness in May before she could fly. Before that, they fledged eight more: Auchmar, Balfour, Dundurn, Wynnstay, Delta, Gibson, Kirkendall and Stipley. Born in Windsor, Ont., on the Ambassador Bridge in 2019, McKeever is named after Kay McKeever of the Owl Foundation. Based in Vineland, Ont., that charitable organization helps owls and other birds of prey who are injured or orphaned. Judson arrived in Hamilton in 2021. He fledged in Buffalo, New York, in 2018, and is the grandson of Madame X and Surge, who nested on the Sheraton for 13 and nine years, respectively.

Families reunite to celebrate NICU milestones and healing
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Sunday was a day full of joy and healing as families who once found themselves in the midst of a difficult and uncertain time are now celebrating milestones with their little ones. The 4th annual NICU reunion brought a mixture of families together who had babies in the neonatal intensive care unit. They shared stories, reconnected with the health care team, and celebrated the progress their children have made. Free fun for kids at the 28th annual 'Kidfest' 'Judson was born in March of 2024 at 27 weeks, five days gestation. He weighed two ounces, and he spent 70 days in the NICU at the HCA Florida Gulf Coast hospital. It's very overwhelming. But the nurses and the staff are incredible people. They meet you in a place where you know, you're just… you're lost. You're afraid of what the next day's going to bring. And they have confident eyes,' former NICU resident Jennifer Daniels said. Since Daniel's journey her and her family still remain in strong connections with the staff who cared for them. She says those relationships have turned into lasting friendships. 'I still talk to several of the nurses and several of the therapists today, and I've made some great friendships over those three months that we were in the NICU and there are several that I still talk to, and I feel like I will talk to them for the rest of my life,' Daniels said. 'Walk in My Shoes' stops in Panama City to raise awareness on child sexual abuse Many of these babies are born prematurely or with medical conditions that require specialized treatment and care. Officials say their favorite part of the reunion is reuniting with the babies they helped save. 'One of the families here actually did a fundraising event for us that was a beauty contest. And one of the kids in the beauty contest had been in our NICU like 15 years ago. It was it was amazing. So it's really, really fun. They have continued to support us even after all these years,' Women and Children's Services Vice President Elizabeth Boyle said. HCA Florida Gulf Coast Hospital is the only Level III NICU provider in Bay County, which means they can take care of a baby that weighs as little as 28 ounces. Also known as a micro preemie.
