Facebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save Republican U.S. Sen.-elect Tim Sheehy this week claimed a firework-ignited grass fire set near his campaign sign west of Livingston was a politically motivated arson. The Park County Sheriff's Office, however, said it has no evidence that this was a politically motivated incident and is not investigating it as such. A Park County sheriff’s deputy on Dec. 21 notified dispatchers of a fire near Interstate 90 and West End Road. On social media, the sheriff’s office said winds that night were clocked at 50-to-60 mph and helped push the fire out to 26 acres.

(courtesy Park County Sheriff's Office) Authorities issued evacuations for the nearby residents and firefighters knocked the blaze down in roughly an hour and a half, according to the sheriff’s office post. The fire "definitely" started near a Sheehy campaign sign, Park County Rural Fire District Chief Dann Babcox told the Livingston Enterprise. No arrests had been made or charges filed in response to the fire as of Friday. The Park County Sheriff's Office said on Facebook on Monday it had obtained video evidence of a person shooting a firework out of a moving vehicle and igniting the dry grass before heading west on I-90.

JOSEPH SCHELLER ,The Montana Standard On Tuesday Sheehy appeared near the scorched scene and issued a social media post of appreciation for the responders, which, according to the Enterprise, included neighbors to the threatened properties. He also posted a picture with two Montana Department of Transportation employees, whose facility was adjacent to the burned area, as well as a photo of a blackened building. Initial reports from the sheriff’s office did say the incident was being investigated as a criminal act but did not imply political motivations, although Sheehy appeared certain of it in a video posted to his social media. "We just visited with the Jensen family here, four beautiful young kids, it was actually their third daughter’s birthday the night that these arsonists started the fire to burn down our sign and started about a 30-acre wildfire, burned their grazing land, harmed their property and its just sad that would happen here," Sheehy said. "We can still disagree, we can still respect each other in this country. We don't have to do things like this." Sgt. Ryan Call, the fire-arson investigator for the Park County Sheriff's Office, told the Montana State News Bureau on Friday the office had not identified anyone responsible for the fire. However, given the information law enforcement is working with, he said it's not clear that this was a political act. "We can't say for 110% it was politically motivated," Call said. For example, its unclear from the video law enforcement obtained whether the person shooting the fireworks was aiming at another vehicle on the roadway, Call said. Additionally, Sheehy described no political threats or similar incidents to the fire near his campaign sign when talking to law enforcement about the Dec. 21 fire, Call said. "None of that has happened," he said. Call said he is not investigating the incident as a politically motivated attack and asked anyone who was in the area or may have more information to contact the Park County Sheriff at 406-222-2050. This story has been updated with additional comment from the Park County Sheriff's Office. Author twitter Author email

Quebec attracts substantial mining investment thanks to strong government support, a well-developed critical minerals strategy and innovative technologies, an industry panel heard this month in London. That enables companies like Osisko Metals (TSXV: OM), a key beneficiary of these policies, to revive the past-producing Gaspé copper mine. The $1.8-billion project, the largest undeveloped copper-molybdenum deposit in eastern North America, has been designated a pilot project by Quebec’s Natural Resources and Forestry Ministry to increase regional economic benefits. "Quebec’s geological wealth, combined with government reforms such as the updated Mining Act, has created a more transparent and predictable investment environment," strategic government advisor Jonathan Lafontaine told The Northern Miner’s International Metals Symposium on Dec. 1. The province has committed hundreds of millions in funding for mining projects through agencies like Investissement Québec, Soquem and Sidex. The panel heard how Quebec's Institut National des Mines partners with schools to train workers. Innovation hubs, like Rouyn-Noranda's mining zone, foster sustainable solutions. The private sector is doing its part to drive industry sustainability. Dundee Sustainable Technologies (CSE: DST) is commercializing cyanide-free gold extraction and arsenic vitrification, which could reduce environmental risks and fast-track permitting. Watch the full panel discussion below, moderated by The Northern Miner’s editor-in-chief Colin McClelland.

Chad Michael Murray maintains his abs for the best reason possible. Murray, 43, opened up about taking his core routine seriously while chatting with Interview Magazine on Wednesday, December 11. When asked what his secret is to always having a ripped six-pack, the actor cheekily replied, “I’m going to say having a pretty wife, wanting to keep her happy.” Murray explained that although his wife, Sarah Roemer , is “totally not the type” to “demand” he has a six-pack, he still wants “to look good for the missus” Besides keeping Roemer, 40, happy, Murray also keeps up with his workouts for his own sake, too. “I also like to be at a certain place at all times, just in case an opportunity like this arises,” he said, referencing his recent movie, Merry Gentlemen , in which he plays a male dancer . “It’s a lifestyle.” After Merry Gentleman premiered, fans (and let’s be real, Us ) took to X to swoon over the actor’s rock-hard body. “I don’t mind seeing Chad Michael Murray’s abs 😋,” one social media user wrote. “He’s aging like fine wine.” Another agreed, “He’s looking damn good!” while more dropped a chef’s kiss emoji.

Murray dramatically gazed into the distance with eye black drawn across one cheek. For his birth month, August, Murray held a funfetti cake while biting down on a party noisemaker. Murray shrugged at the camera with a knowing smolder.

U.S. to require passenger vehicles to sound alarms if rear passengers don't fasten their seat beltsMAPUTO, Mozambique (AP) — Violence that engulfed Mozambique after the country’s highest court of disputed Oct. 9 elections killed at least 21 people, including two police officers, authorities said Tuesday. Mozambique Interior Minister Pascoal Ronda told a news conference in Maputo late Tuesday that a wave of violence and looting was sparked by the court’s announcement a day earlier. He said it was led by mostly youthful supporters of losing candidate Venancio Mondlane, who received 24% of the vote, second to Chapo, who got 65%. “From the preliminary survey, in the last 24 hours, 236 acts of violence were recorded throughout the national territory that resulted in 21 deaths, of which two members of the Police of the Republic of Mozambique also died,” Ronda said. He said 13 civilians and 12 police were injured. Ronda said 25 vehicles were set on fire, including two police vehicles. He added that 11 police subunits and a penitentiary were attacked and vandalized and 86 inmates were freed. Tensions were high in the country ahead of the The Constitutional Council ruling on Monday and violent protests started immediately after the announcement was made. Footage circulating on various social media platforms showed protesters burning and looting shops in the capital Maputo and the city of Beira, where some city officials were reported to have fled the city. Mondlane has called for a “shutdown” starting Friday but violence in the country has already escalated and the situation remained tense in the capital on Tuesday night following a day of violence and looting by protesters. The country of 34 million people . Mondlane’s supporters, mostly hundreds of thousands of young people, have since taken to the streets, and have been met by gunfire from security forces. This brings to from post-election violence since the initial results were announced by the country’s electoral body. The Associated Press

Mnangagwa Bribes The Elderly With Rice

Like Kylie Minogue, Cathy Freeman or AC/DC, Australia has its fair share of icons. And one of the most unique might just be a little fat cat from Victoria who loves to meow. Bender is the enigma known as 'Huh Cat' — a cat who skyrocketed to fame after a clip of him meowing was transformed into a viral meme, a piece of media that's usually funny in nature and spread rapidly by internet users. It's not quite clear how and why Bender was chosen by the internet, but the celebrity cat now boasts a combined four million followers across TikTok and Instagram. The reason for his fame? 'Saying' the word 'huh?'. Huh Cat became a viral meme seemingly overnight. A video posted in 2021 showed Bender making a confused and shocked-looking face as he meowed. The video was later dubbed in 2023 with the now famous 'huh?' sound quickly going viral and gaining millions of views and fans. A legend was born. But what you might not have realised is that this 15-year-old celebrity cat lives in an apartment in the foothills of Victoria's Dandenong Ranges. Yep, Australia has its very own famous cat. 'An overnight success' Bender's owner is the 73-year-old Nellie Cage. She lives inside a little unit in Tecoma, 35km east of Melbourne. While she might never have envisioned herself becoming a content creator in her 70s, Cage has taken to the creator life and runs the Huh Cat social media pages. Huh Cat has 3.2 million followers on TikTok and over 700,000 followers on Instagram. "I started with bits and pieces and then one day I just posted him meowing a few things, and his meow just went viral," Cage told SBS News. "It was an overnight success. "I don't know who did the dubbing of the 'huh'. There were two videos. One went viral when he was by the... Alexandra Koster

Between now and April 2, the folks on Oro-Medonte Township council will wade through thousands of bytes of information as they try to pull together a budget that will meet residents’ needs without breaking the bank. It’s not going to be a cakewalk. At the township’s most recent council meeting, Shawn Binns, chief administrative officer, and Shannon Johnson, chief financial officer, shared with council a long list of challenges the township is facing as it heads into budget preparation for 2025-2026, including the growth of the township’s neighbours, Barrie and Orillia, and growth throughout the township, in Craighurst, Horseshoe Valley, Eagle’s Rest, Eagle’s Landing and Warminster. The township is also dealing with the challenges of appropriate staffing levels, staff compensation, Information Technology adoption and connectivity, updates to fees and charges, legacy legal issues (cannabis, STRs), the impacts of climate change and uncertain economic conditions. “Not surprisingly, probably the biggest part of our budget is salaries and benefits,” Binns said during his budget preparation presentation last week. “Our people are the critical ingredient in delivering quality service. “We will continue to build on recruitment, development and retention,” Binns added. According to Binns, the township’s collective agreement with its unionized employees ends in 2025 and that will be a major area of focus for management. He said staff will provide township council with an overview of the salary compensation policy and market review that is currently underway. Binns noted he had a particular concern with the township’s fire and emergency services. “Another significant challenge, particularly for community services and fire and emergency services, is the continuity and sustainability of our volunteer service model that’s heavily reliant on dedicated volunteers to provide service on behalf of the municipality,” he said. While it was a hot topic for a couple of weeks, the proposed increase from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) for 2025 has been reduced from $659,000 — a 23 per cent increase — to $151,000, a modest-by-comparison increase of five per cent. (According to the presentation document, the province plans to review the OPP billing model and despite the relief, base service costs will rise in 2026, adding budget pressure. The OPP billing model does not provide a mechanism to reconcile paid duty and calls for service reporting which is resulting in duplication of cost, and costs borne by the township related to large scale special events like those held at Burl’s Creek. The township continues to advocate for changes to the billing model to address this and sustainability of policing costs.) One area where the township is looking to make gains is in IT. According to Binns, the township has placed a lot of emphasis on technology over the past couple of years. “Technology really is core to improving our service,” Binns said. “We’ve invested quite heavily over the last number of years to be able to get systems to be able to help us be able to do our jobs more efficiently and effectively.” He ran through a list of IT initiatives and improvements: Binns and Johnson’s presentation wasn’t all about the challenges — there were a couple of bright lights, particularly when it comes to insurance, township revenue, user fees and grants. According to the presentation: Here is the timeline for Oro-Medonte Township’s 2025-2026 budget process:
