New Ottawa Police Service district model to cost taxpayers $11.4M over three years
Article content Maloney said the OPS referenced other community safety frameworks from police jurisdictions in the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom when building their own. Article content He and his team also looked at existing data and talked to academics to make sure the new framework has evidence-based policies, he said. Article content 'We changed our practices. We're returning to that more community-based policing methodology and bringing it and enhancing it, but also infusing it throughout various aspects of the organization,' Maloney added. Article content But Stubbs said this model isn't unique to the OPS. Other Canadian cities, like Vancouver and Toronto, have a similar framework and district model. Article content 'Every big city will have districts and zones and areas. Every single one of them. They don't just tell constables to go police somewhere and hopefully we cover all of the city. There's structure in every city,' the police chief said.

Plumber who allegedly voiced 'extremist' views in IPAS attack given rally ban
A plumber, who allegedly voiced "extremist" views during an assault and criminal damage at a Tallaght IPAS centre, has been ordered to avoid rallies and social media posts inciting hate or violence. Declan Stubbs, 34, of Bolbrook Drive, Tallaght, Dublin, was told "people have a right to be in the State" by Judge Catherine Ghent at Dublin District Court on Saturday. The warning came at the end of a bail ruling after Mr Stubbs was charged with causing €1,000 worth of criminal damage by kicking the door of St John's House, on High Street, during a drink-fuelled incident on Friday. He also had a connected charge for trespassing at the IPAS centre, a minor assault of a named male there, resisting arrest, using threatening, abusive, or insulting words or behaviour and being intoxicated to the extent of being a danger to himself and others. Garda Gavin Cribbin objected to bail due to the seriousness of the incident, telling the court that Mr Stubbs was accused of assaulting a security guard after he had to be removed from the building and kicked the door. The garda said Mr Stubbs was arrested at the scene, at the IPAS centre, and there was video footage. The court heard claims Mr Stubbs expressed extremist political, anti-immigration views. Garda Cribbin feared the accused would interfere with staff or residents at the centre. His phone had been seized. Defence counsel Kevin McCrave argued that his client could be freed on bail with conditions. The Criminal Courts of Justice in Dublin (Image: Getty Images) He told Judge Ghent that the father-of-one had received bad personal news on Friday, was off his medication, and could not remember threatening anyone because he was intoxicated. Counsel added that his client worked full-time for a company and paid rent. Setting bail, Judge Ghent ordered Mr Stubbs not to go within three kilometres of the IPAS centre, except when he has to sign on three days a week at the nearby Garda station. He also has to provide his phone number. She ordered Mr Stubbs to refrain from extremist posts on social media, "for clarity, they are posts that would incite hate and/or violence."

However, the judge directed him not to attend rallies or marches reasonably considered as inciting hatred or violence. She let him know that breaking the bail terms would not be tolerated and would put him in a difficult situation. Disclosure of evidence to the defence was ordered. Mr Stubbs spoke only to consult with his barrister and to confirm he understood the judge's order. He was ordered to appear at Tallaght District Court on September 8 to enter a plea.

USC baseball alum Garrett Stubbs heads back to World Baseball Classic with Team Israel
Coming off their first NCAA Tournament berth in a decade, it is certainly an exciting time for USC baseball. In addition to the current team, it is also an exciting time for a notable alum of the program. On Thursday, it was announced that former USC star catcher Garrett Stubbs will once again represent Team Israel in next year's World Baseball Classic. Stubbs previously played for Israel in the World Baseball Classic in 2023. Although he is from San Diego, he is eligible to play for the team due to the fact that he is Jewish. 'I'm incredibly excited and honored to represent Israel in the World Baseball Classic," Stubbs said. "Being able to connect with my heritage on such a global stage, alongside so many talented players, is a truly special opportunity. I'm ready to help Team Israel compete at the highest level.' Stubbs played at USC from 2012-2015. During his senior year, he was named an All-American behind the plate and won the Johnny Bench Award as the top catcher in the country. He also helped lead the Trojans to what was, prior to this past season, their most recent NCAA Tournament appearance. The Houston Astros selected Stubbs in the eighth round of the 2015 MLB Draft. He made his major league debut with the team in 2019 and spent parts of three seasons with the team before being traded to the Philadelphia Phillies in November 2021. Stubbs spent the past three seasons as Philadelphia's backup catcher, but has spent all of 2025 thus far with Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

HBCU track's top sprinter announces transfer to SEC
The HBCU track world just lost one of its brightest stars to the SEC. Alabama State sprinter Jamarion Stubbs, a standout over the past two seasons and one of the most decorated athletes in the SWAC, is bolting to Fayetteville to join the track program at the University of Arkansas. The move hasn't yet been made official by Arkansas' track program. Still, Stubbs essentially broke his own news on Instagram with a not-so-subtle flex. A photo of him in Razorbacks gear standing between two NCAA Track & Field National Championship trophies, captioned:"? ??? ???????. #wooopig?." That caption says everything. Stubbs, who just wrapped up his junior season by finishing 21st in the nation in the 100 meters at the 2025 NCAA Division I Outdoor Championships, was already regarded as one of the most explosive sprinters in HBCU track. But now, he's joining a program that's been the standard in collegiate track and field. The University of Arkansas isn't just any landing spot-it's a powerhouse. The Razorbacks are the back-to-back USTFCCCA Program of the Year, dominating across indoor, outdoor, and cross country disciplines. With top-tier facilities, world-class coaching, and one of the deepest sprint squads in the NCAA. The University of Arkansas continues to attract elite talent from every corner of the country-and now, from the HBCU ranks. For Jamarion Stubbs, it's a chance to elevate his game to the next level while training alongside Olympic hopefuls and national champions on a daily basis. The transfer marks the next chapter in what's already been a stellar collegiate career. Stubbs was a six-time SWAC Champion, earning conference titles in the 100m, 200m, and multiple relay events during the 2024 and 2025 seasons. His 2024 campaign was historic: NCAA Division I All-American in the 200 metersFinalist at the 2024 U.S. Olympic TrialsRanked among the top 25 sprinters in the nation His speed, poise under pressure, and ability to shine in championship settings made him a fan favorite at Alabama State. And a nightmare for every other lane on the track. Now, he'll bring that same firepower to an Arkansas team that doesn't rebuild, it reloads. Stubbs isn't the first HBCU standout to chase SEC-level opportunity-and he won't be the last. This past May, Tyson Williams, a freshman phenom from Johnson C. Smith University, announced his move to the University of South Carolina. Williams made the move mere days after wrapping up a stellar performance at the 2025 NCAA Division II Outdoor Championships. Williams, who dominated the CIAA and turned heads with sub-10.30s in the 100m this spring, represents another major talent leaving the HBCU pipeline for the 'big' leagues. His potential at the Division I level is massive, and South Carolina is betting big on his upside. These moves reflect a growing reality in collegiate track and field. While HBCUs continue to develop elite sprinters, the resources, exposure, and NIL opportunities available at major SEC programs are tough to match. From nutrition and training facilities to international competition and professional development, the jump to the SEC is often as much about infrastructure as it is about talent. It's bittersweet. On one hand, these transfers signal recognition-proof that HBCUs are producing talent that belongs at the highest level of NCAA competition. On the other hand, it highlights the challenge HBCUs face in retaining elite athletes. For Jamarion Stubbs, the move from Alabama State to Arkansas is the next logical step in a journey that may very well end on the Olympic stage. For HBCU programs, it's another reminder that they are indeed breeding grounds for greatness-even if that greatness eventually wears different colors. As the college track world reloads for 2026, one thing's clear: the SEC just got a little faster. And HBCU pride will be right there with it, even if it shows up draped in Razorback red.

Phillies Predicted To Cut Ties With Struggling Young Catcher This Season
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Philadelphia Phillies have placed themselves in the middle of the National League East race alongside the New York Mets and ahead of the Atlanta Braves. With this level of play, the Phillies are going to need to part ways with some of the players at the bottom of their roster. Zachary Rotman of FanSided recently predicted the Phillies would cut ties with young catcher Rafael Marchan ahead of the trade deadline. DETROIT, MICHIGAN - JUNE 24: A detail of the Philadelphia Phillies logo on a hat during the game against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park on June 24, 2024 in Detroit, Michigan. DETROIT, MICHIGAN - JUNE 24: A detail of the Philadelphia Phillies logo on a hat during the game against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park on June 24, 2024 in Detroit, Michigan."Rafael Marchan made the Phillies' opening day roster over fan favorite Garrett Stubbs to be J.T. Realmuto's backup catcher because he's out of options, and Stubbs is not," Rotman wrote. "It made sense to give Marchan a long look in the majors, especially because Stubbs doesn't do much offensively, but he has looked overmatched this season. "Marchan has slashed .163/.281/.265 with one home run and five RBI in 20 games this season. Realmuto plays as much as any catcher, but all catchers need days off once in a while. It's really hard to justify giving Marchan any playing time with how much he has struggled offensively." Of the players on the Phillies roster, Marchan is one of the more obvious cut candidates. He's struggled tremendously this season, just as most might have expected, and he also has a potential replacement, Garrett Stubbs, waiting in the wings. Stubbs isn't a star himself, but he would likely be a better option than Marchan. In fact, there aren't many worse options at this point. Luckily for the Phillies, J.T. Realmuto can handle most of the catching duties, but they're going to need to figure out the backup catcher slot at some point.
