New Scotland manager acknowledges fan frustration after debut loss
Andreatta, the former Australia assistant who succeeded Pedro Lopez last month, was helpless to prevent Scotland from losing their penultimate Nations League Group A1 match and being relegated. However, the 46-year-old, whose team will now take on the Netherlands in Tilburg on Tuesday evening, stressed that she learned a lot from the outing and will be able to build on the performance. Read more: "What I've taken is a baseline,' she said. "There's one thing to be training and doing what we're doing and players executing what we're asking of them in a training session, and it's another to do it in a match and in a match with that context behind it. "So I think I have a good baseline now to understand where we're at, and some areas of work in order for us to progress to where we want to be.' Andreatta added, "I think you could tell by the fans, there was a frustration, but I think the key part that I take from that is that we had players that took on the information at half-time and made some adjustments to what we were doing and trying to do, and they did that well. (Image: PA Wire) "And then, together with the subs, who were a combination of experienced players and emerging players, they brought on the energy and had a real impact. So while it was frustrating not to get some reward from, that impact and those changes, I know where we are now, and it's given me some ideas, moving forward.' Scotland captain Rachel Corsie, who this week announced she will retire from international football following the meeting with the Netherlands, came on in the second half of the match to win her 155th cap for her country. Read more: Andreatta is confident the Aston Villa player will be fully focused on the team performance in midweek. 'I'm sure there would have been a lot of emotion for her having friends and family there for sure,' she said. 'But what I know about Rachel is she's a real team person and she'll be more hurt for the team that we didn't get the result that we all want. 'I'm sure she'll quickly refocus as the leader and professional that she is and help the team to bounce back because that's what we need to do now.'

Killeen Community Honors Crime Victims During National Crime Victims' Rights Week
KILLEEN, Texas (FOX 44) — Recognizing National Crime Victims' Rights Week, the Killeen Police Department hosted a heartfelt event on Monday, bringing the community together to honor local crime victims and emphasize the importance of victims' rights. According to Killeen Chief of Police Pedro Lopez, the department's Victim Services Unit supported over 1,700 crime victims in 2024 alone. To mark the occasion, the department invited community members to participate in a symbolic act of solidarity—placing ribbons along the streets in support of victims. Each ribbon's color represents a different crime victim. Attendee Lisa Hatfield expressed her appreciation for the turnout: 'It's wonderful to see all of these people, many of them from different disciplines within Bell County, but also the community coming out of support to show that they understand the need for these services and why it is so important to support victims, to help them throughout the healing process.' Among those showing support was domestic violence survivor Chicara Wheeler, who attended the ribbon event for the second consecutive year. 'Coming out here is a way to show my support of the other victims who didn't make it, are surviving. Still trying to survive through this.' Wheeler shared that the act of placing the ribbons in the trees made her feel empowered and visible. 'My life was completely, almost taken, and to experienced the homelessness that we had to endure. But I know God turns things around for a reason and there's a reason and a purpose why I'm still here, and why other survivors are here.' Kimberly Isette, the Crime Victim Liaison at Killeen PD, stressed the importance of raising awareness about available resources for victims. 'If anyone has questions about their rights as a victim of crime, or as a survivor or family member of a crime victim, they can reach out to their local law enforcement agency to get those rights. We can support them throughout the entire process, including prosecution and court.' The ribbons placed along Killeen's streets will remain throughout National Crime Victims' Rights Week, symbolizing the community's commitment to honoring victims and ensuring they are not alone in their journey.

A century of service
Feb. 18—MOSES LAKE — One of the most active service organizations in America is turning 100 this year, and most of its members haven't even turned 18. "Key Club is all about service and helping the community," said Pedro Lopez, who's the Key Club district governor for Moses Lake High School's chapter. There are also chapters at Vanguard Academy and Ephrata High School, he said. Key Club was started in 1925 by two Sacramento businessmen as an outreach of Kiwanis International, according to its online history. The idea was to take the "key boys" — and girls, after 1977 — in a school and guide them in serving their greater community. There's been a Key Club at Moses Lake High School since 1981, Said Louis Logan, the Kiwanis advisor for the Moses Lake High School chapter. It was started by a now-defunct chapter of the Kiwanis Club in Moses Lake and subsequently taken over by the remaining club. Key Club is mostly student-run but has adult advisors from both Kiwanis and the schools. "We try to attend their meetings, and if they need any assistance, making contacts or maybe providing treats or something like that, we try to do that," said Susan Blackwell, the Kiwanis advisor for the Vanguard Academy chapter. "If there's assistance that Kiwanis International can provide, like grants or something like that, we try to make that connection." Due to the Moses Lake School District's recent financial woes, the teacher advisors at Moses Lake High School and Vanguard Academy, Heather Whittall and Stephanie Lopez respectively, are both serving as unpaid volunteers, Logan said. "Without them, we would not have had Key Club this year," he said. Lopez said that key Club volunteers choose some of their own projects. At last year's Moses Lake Spring Festival, Key Club students provided scoring services for the event's 3-on-3 basketball tournament — a substantial job with 121 teams competing. "I went to the beginning meetings of Spring Fest where they talked about how they would run the event (and) how many volunteers they would need," Lopez said. "From there, I made Google forms, and then I sent out all that information to the officers of all the Key Clubs, and then I asked them, 'Hey, can you start promoting this event to your members?' Once all the events were promoted, people signed up, and then we managed to get around 40 volunteers over two days." For its services, the Spring Festival Committee presented the Key Club with a donation of $1,000, half of which went to New Hope in Moses Lake and the other half to the Pacific Northwest Key Club District's project to end youth homelessness, Lopez said. The Kiwanis also guide students toward projects, Blackwell said. "At Vanguard last year I had five or six committees," she said. "One was tutoring kids at an elementary school after school. One was working with the elderly. (There was) community cleanup, food bank, collecting materials for the animal outreach." Key Club students also help out the Kiwanis Club with its events, Logan said, working the concession booth at the Moses Lake Roundup Rodeo, and providing childcare at school Parent Teacher Organization meetings. While Key Club tends to attract students who already have a high degree of involvement, Logan said, the club is also always interested in students looking to get more involved. The club does charge dues to its members, he said, but for students who can't pay them Kiwanis picks up the tab. "We want to make sure that anybody that's interested in becoming a better leader, or learning leadership skills, and wants to do things for others (has the opportunity)," he said. "It's also a fellowship, friendship organization. In their meeting, they always start with what's called an icebreaker, some kind of fun thing that everybody just giggles and laughs and enjoys themselves. We also try to build friendships." There's a great deal of help to be offered. "We've found a lot of need in the community, people that need assistance, and we're trying to fill up anywhere in the gap," Lopez said. "You know, we're doing our best to help people, people within the Moses Lake community, within the Ephrata community, within our towns."
