Phantoms trade 1st round pick for young Florida star
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – The Youngstown Phantoms have given up their first-round pick in the 2025 USHL Phase I Draft for young Florida star Logan Anderson. Watch above for an extended interview with the new member of the Phantoms. 'Really an honor and I'm really fortunate enough to be with such a great organization,' said Anderson. 'I've been working with them for a while and showing interest in them.' The Fort Myers native played 56 games last season for the Florida Alliance South 15-Only team. He recorded 48 goals and 43 assists for 91 points last season. Those totals led his team in all three categories. 'It's going to be awesome to be playing with all these really good players that are bigger, faster, stronger to really help me develop my game,' said Anderson. Each USHL team is allotted two tenders per season and have to trade in its first or second round draft pick in the USHL Phase I Draft for the upcoming year. Anderson will be the 14th tender signing in the Phantom's history. The Florida native joins a long list of former Phantoms who had this tender used on them, then made it to the NHL. 'The goal is really to make the NHL,' said Anderson. 'It's just always been a dream of mine since I was a little kid.' The most prominent former Phantom is Winnipeg Jets forward Kyle Connor, who was drafted in the first round of the 2015 NHL Draft. Other former Youngstown players who had the tender used on them and were drafted to the NHL were Curtis Hall (Boston Bruins, 2018) and Trevor Kuntar (Boston Bruins, 2020). Even more have had stints in the NHL, minor leagues, and international leagues. Last season, the 16-year-old joined a Youngstown team that advanced to the USHL Eastern Conference Semifinals with the No. 1 seed. 'My game is a really physical, strong player. I love the physicality of the game,' said Anderson. 'Coming into this league with bigger and better players, I won't be getting very many hitting penalties as much as I did.' The Phantoms ended the 2024 regular season with a record of 42-18-0-2 for 86 points, best in the Eastern Conference. 'They have a great legacy every year, they're really good,' said Anderson. 'They've won the Clark Cup, so I think I want to come in here, have a really good season, and let's win it all again.' Anderson said he will be fully moved into the Valley and start training with the Phantoms as early as June. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Chennai Metro Rail to begin trial run on 9.1-km stretch from Poonamallee to Porur on April 28
Chennai Metro Rail is expected to commence the trial run for the 9.1-km stretch from Poonamallee to Porur on Monday (April 28). As part of the ₹63,246-crore phase II project, it is gearing up to begin passenger operations with driverless trains along this stretch later this year. Along the Poonamallee-Porur stretch, which is an elevated corridor, commuters can access stations at the following 10 locations: Poonamallee Bypass, Poonamallee, Mullaithotaam, Karayanchavadi, Kumananchavadi, Kattupakkam, Iyyapanthangal, Thellaiyagaram, Porur Bypass, and Porur Junction. This 9.1-km segment falls under corridor 4 of the phase II project (Light House to Poonamallee via Porur) and will be the first to be inaugurated under this phase. In the last week of March, Chennai Metro Rail conducted the first trial between Poonamallee to Mullaithottam amid some technical glitches in the overhead equipment, and subsequent trials have been progressing along this 3-km stretch rather smoothly, according to officials of Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL). The trials are going to be carried out on one of the tracks (upline). The second track (downline) will be ready, along with the overhead equipment, by June first week. The work on the first track is complete, and the overhead equipment work is nearing completion. It will be ready before the trial on Monday, officials said. Average speed 'In the first trial, between Poonamallee and Mullaithottam, the trains were operated at only 15 kmph. This time, the average speed is likely to be 35-40 kmph. In the past month, we tested trains at 80 kmph, and there were no issues,' an official said. As of now, two trains are undergoing trials, and the other two will also be inducted into the testing process shortly. Apart from testing the train for braking, air-conditioning, acceleration, and deceleration, the trials will also involve checking other aspects of the track and overhead equipment. 'As far as the track is concerned, we have double resilient fasteners, which will ensure there are no vibrations. Nevertheless, we will check them during the trials to be entirely sure. The parameters, geometry, and alignment of the track will be examined. We will also inspect whether there is noise during the train operations. If that occurs, we will take measures to prevent it so that passengers don't face any discomfort during travel,' a source said. S. Bala, a frequent commuter, said that while he is glad Metro services will begin along this stretch, many will benefit only when the network is extended and becomes operational up to Vadapalani next year, where there is connectivity to the Phase I network. 'For many who return home from other districts, quite a lot of buses stop at Porur. Those residing in Kattupakkam, Poonamallee, or Iyyapanthangal can take the train from Porur and head home. For others, initially, it may just be a joy ride,' he added.

Marshall Mitchell: Mitchell Ridgeview on Foster development streets to be turned over to city
Mar. 10—MITCHELL — Who owns the streets after a developer builds them? The Mitchell City Council, during their regular meeting on March 3, approved an agreement with non-profit Mitchell Area Housing Inc. (MAHI), at no cost to the city, to provide up-to-standard street improvements for the right-of-way at the Ridgeview on Foster housing development. The 22-acre Ridgeview on Foster housing development runs west to east from Foster Street to North Calhoun Street, and north to south from East Eighth Avenue to Bridle Drive. About 4.35 acres, or nearly 20% of the development, is made of right-of-way streets to be given to the city and include Nagle Lane, Peace Place and Nursia Drive. The agreement calls for MAHI to improve the right-of-way for residential purposes and to grade and surface all roads and streets, and provide a complete sewerage system throughout the entire subdivision before residents can occupy the houses, which are still under development. In addition to the city receiving the right-of-ways, the agreement calls for MAHI to reimburse the city for upgrading the Ridgeview on Foster sewage lift station from a submersible lift station to a dry well/wet well lift station. The total cost of the lift station was $345,000, according to MAHI president Terry Sabers. The city paid the up-front costs of the lift station and will be reimbursed $199,880 over time by Tax Increment District 36, which was approved in July 2024 for the Ridgeview on Foster and South Lake Estates developments. "A dry/wet well helps us with maintenance of the lift station, and it's safer for our crews to work in," Mitchell Public Works Director Joe Schroeder told the council on March 3. A submersible pump has the pumps in the sewage. Work on the pumps requires a worker to pull the pumps out of the sewage on rails. If the pumps get stuck, a worker wearing a ventilator has to go in to work on it, according to Schroeder. On the other hand, a dry/wet well has two different structures, one for the sewage, and a clean area for the pumps so they can be maintained in a dry and safe environment. "So if you need to work on the pumps, you're in a completely separate space from the sewage," Schroeder told the Mitchell Republic. Council member Mike Bathke questioned how the dollar figure was decided on and what the bidding process was for the life station. The city is paying the difference of the upgrade costs to have a type of lift station that meets maintenance requirements, according to City Administrator Stephanie Ellwein. "It was bid through the grant requirements. They were required to bid it just the same as a city bid," Schroeder said. The Ridgeview development project received a $1.026 million infrastructure funding grant from the South Dakota Housing Authority, which administers a mix of state and federal funds. Bathke asked if Nagle Lane to Foster Street would be part of the Ridgeview Phase I plan. "I believe it is being installed all the way to Foster right away as phase one. It's my understanding that it is to be built out 100% this spring. I believe all the utilities are in for the entire project," Schroeder said. The city has a one-year warranty from the development's completion, and if defects are found, the contractor has to come back and fix the city's right-of-way. "If there's any settlement, if there were to be any water leaks, those types of issues usually pop up within the first year. There are South Dakota statutes that protect us further," Schroeder told the Mitchell Republic. In 2020, Avera Queen of Peace hospital donated the 22-acre parcel to MAHI to build a workforce housing development. "We are ahead of schedule and behind schedule. We got a lot of work done. The construction season was good for us. However, our lift station, which is built right here in Mitchell with Dakota Pump, is behind schedule so that's slowing us down," MAHI housing leader Mike Lauritsen told the council during the March 3 meeting. In February 2023, $2.4 million in federal appropriations was awarded for Ridgeview on Foster. A groundbreaking ceremony was held in October 2023. There are 68 lots in the Ridgeview on Foster housing development. Fifteen of the lots along East Eighth Avenue are set aside for Mitchell Technical College to build homes as part of their carpentry training program. The tech students finish one house a year, according to Sabers. The 53 lots left are for workforce housing, with some framing planned by July 1. "Our goal has always been to try to get houses in that $250,000 to $300,000 range. Hopefully, we might have some smaller ones yet that will be under $250,000," Sabers said. In October 2023, the estimated cost of putting the street, sewer and utility infrastructure in place for the development was $3.4 million. That number is now over $4 million due to inflation, according to Sabers. "This fall, there should be some ready to move into," Sabers said. The 53 lots could take time to develop and for homes to be built. It just depends on the demand, according to Sabers. "Obviously, we're not going to build houses if the demand slows down because of the economy. We'll slow down our building also, because we don't want to sit on a house that's not sold," Sabers said. "It could be somewhere between seven and 10 years."
