BROOKINGS, S.D. — After more than a decade of asking, Brookings will finally be getting a Target. Brookings Mayor Ope Neimeyer announced Monday, Dec. 23, that the Minneapolis-based big box store would be adding a location in Brookings as part of an ongoing effort to construct a new shopping center. ADVERTISEMENT Target will serve as the anchor tenant of the Brookings Marketplace, a large planned shopping center located on the northeast corner of the Sixth Street exit from Interstate 29, according to a city news release. The shopping center will also include an Aldi grocery store and other smaller retailers. Construction crews are set to break ground in 2025 with a target completion date in 2026. “I am extremely proud and excited to make this announcement,” Niemeyer said Monday after transaction paperwork was finalized. “The City of Brookings has been working to bring Target here for several years.” He credited the “patience and collaboration exhibited by the Brookings City Council, city leadership and Minneapolis-based developer Ryan Companies. According to city officials, an annual survey from the Brookings Economic Development Corporation has shown significant interest from residents of Brookings and students at South Dakota State University for more than a decade. The next most-requested retailer is Kohl’s. “Our community members have been asking for diverse shopping options and national-brand retail opportunities, and the city council and staff are proud to be delivering on that request,” said Deputy Mayor Nick Wendell. Currently, those living in Brookings and surrounding communities have to drive roughly an hour to shop at Target or Aldi, with the closest storefronts located in Sioux Falls and Watertown. ADVERTISEMENT “I know residents from Brookings and neighboring communities will be excited when they no longer have to drive nearly an hour to shop at two of their favorite retailers,” Wendell added. “Shoppers will benefit, and the city of Brookings will benefit because we will reduce the retail leakage that occurs when people leave town to shop.” In addition to the estimated 148 jobs that will be created, Brookings Marketplace businesses are expected to generate nearly $16 million in economic output, including sales tax revenues of up to $1.5 million annually. Niemeyer and Wendell say that the development of the Brookings Marketplace reflects the city’s ongoing commitment to economic development as demonstrated through its strategic plan and related initiatives, including the recently approved Downtown Brookings Master Plan. “The Marketplace development is a testament to Brookings’ vitality, and I expect it will attract more businesses to our community,” Wendell said. “I also have no doubt it will benefit existing businesses as it attracts more shoppers to town. As the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all boats.” Niemeyer called the Marketplace development a “once-in-a-generation project.” “The Brookings Marketplace development project represents an investment in the Brookings community, and it has the potential to bring significant economic, social and quality of life enhancements,” he said. The shopping center will be built upon land the City of Brookings originally purchased from the South Dakota Department of Transportation in 2013. ADVERTISEMENTSAN ANTONIO (AP) — Colorado secured what it said was record insurance coverage for quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter as the star duo opted to complete their college careers in the Alamo Bowl rather than sit out and prepare for the NFL draft. Colorado would not disclose the amount of insurance coverage each received, citing privacy laws. Coach Deion Sanders and athletic director Rick George both said it was the largest in college football history. “We happen to have two players that are probably going to be the first two picks of the NFL draft,” Sanders said Monday. “We all know who those two are and they have received, I think, the highest number of coverage that has ever been covered in college football. It far exceeds anyone that has ever played this game of college football.” While college programs maintain insurance policies for their athletes in case of injury, Colorado increased disability coverage for its entire roster in the Alamo Bowl. Sanders, the coach of the No. 20 Buffaloes, ensured his QB son and two-way star Hunter received larger policies since both are expected to be among the top 10 selections in the upcoming NFL draft. “It was his idea we should get disability insurance for our athletes for this game to ensure that they played and if there was some kind of injury that they would be well taken care of," George said. “So, we worked together on that. We’re excited about it. We think it’s great that all our players are playing in the game. That’s what all bowl games should be like.” Colorado (9-3, No. 23 CFP) will face the 17th-ranked BYU Cougars (10-2, No. 17 CFP) in the Alamo Bowl on Saturday. While most teams are scrambling with starters opting out of bowl games this year to enter the transfer portal or NFL draft, the Buffaloes did not lose any player on their two-deep roster. “It’s more than what I got (when he played at Kansas State),” Colorado linebackers coach Andre’ Hart said. “They gave us a helmet and said pop this on your leg and get out there and play. For them to get that (increased insurance coverage), I just think it’s beneficial. To talk about where the game is, where it’s going and how leadership is taking care of the players, I thought that’s excellent.” Shedeur Sanders completed 337 of 454 passes for 3,926 yards and 35 touchdowns this season. Many scouting services have Sanders rated as the top quarterback in this year's draft. Hunter received the Heisman Trophy as a two-way standout at cornerback and wide receiver. He had 92 receptions for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns and as a cornerback had four interceptions, broke up 11 passes and limited the opposition to 22 receptions on 688 defensive snaps. “They’ve taken care of us, everybody,” Colorado running back Micah Welch said. “It really means a lot to have every teammate up here. That's a big thing. What I like about Coach Prime, they’re taking care of us.” Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

Quad comm to recommend raps: Will they tag Duterte?Srinagar, Nov 22: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) Chief, Tariq Karra, has called for a thorough investigation by a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) into allegations of bribery involving Adani Group. Addressing a presser here, Karra highlighted the need for accountability, particularly if the BJP-led government acknowledges that officials in opposition-ruled states and the centrally administered Jammu and Kashmir are implicated. “The Congress demands a full investigation by a Joint Parliamentary Committee into these grave allegations of bribery, which allegedly have credible evidence. If the BJP claims that these incidents occurred in opposition-ruled states or Jammu and Kashmir under President’s rule, it amounts to an admission that Adani bribed officials. Is not this a crime? We strongly demand that this crime be directly investigated by a JPC of the Parliament,” Karra said, reports KNS. He highlighted the disparity in legal actions taken against political leaders and influential business figures. “Why is it that opposition chief ministers are arrested for alleged irregularities involving Rs 31 crore or Rs. 100 crore, but close allies of the ruling party facing allegations of Rs. 2,000 crore roam free? This selective enforcement of laws is a disservice to the nation,” JKPCC Chief remarked
“Gladiator II” asks the question: Are you not moderately entertained for roughly 60% of this sequel? Truly, this is a movie dependent on managed expectations and a forgiving attitude toward its tendency to overserve. More of a thrash-and-burn schlock epic than the comparatively restrained 2000 “Gladiator,” also directed by Ridley Scott, the new one recycles a fair bit of the old one’s narrative cries for freedom while tossing in some digital sharks for the flooded Colosseum and a bout of deadly sea-battle theatrics. They really did flood the Colosseum in those days, though no historical evidence suggests shark deployment, real or digital. On the other hand (checks notes), “Gladiator II” is fiction. Screenwriter David Scarpa picks things up 16 years after “Gladiator,” which gave us the noble death of the noble warrior Maximus, shortly after slaying the ignoble emperor and returning Rome to the control of the Senate. Our new hero, Lucius (Paul Mescal), has fled Rome for Numidia, on the North African coast. The time is 200 A.D., and for the corrupt, party-time twins running the empire (Joseph Quinn and Fred Hechinger), that means invasion time. Pedro Pascal takes the role of Acacius, the deeply conflicted general, sick of war and tired of taking orders from a pair of depraved ferrets. The new film winds around the old one this way: Acacius is married to Lucilla (Connie Nielsen, in a welcome return), daughter of the now-deceased emperor Aurelius and the love of the late Maximus’s life. Enslaved and dragged to Rome to gladiate, the widower Lucius vows revenge on the general whose armies killed his wife. But there are things this angry young phenom must learn, about his ancestry and his destiny. It’s the movie’s worst-kept secret, but there’s a reason he keeps seeing footage of Russell Crowe from the first movie in his fever dreams. Battle follows battle, on the field, in the arena, in the nearest river, wherever, and usually with endless splurches of computer-generated blood. “Gladiator II” essentially bumper-cars its way through the mayhem, pausing for long periods of expository scheming about overthrowing the current regime. The prince of all fixers, a wily operative with interests in both managing gladiators and stocking munitions, goes by the name Macrinus. He’s played by Denzel Washington, who at one point makes a full meal out of pronouncing the word “politics” like it’s a poisoned fig. Also, if you want a masterclass in letting your robes do a lot of your acting for you, watch what Washington does here. He’s more fun than the movie but you can’t have everything. The movie tries everything, all right, and twice. Ridley Scott marshals the chaotic action sequences well enough, though he’s undercut by frenetic cutting rhythms, with that now-familiar, slightly sped-up visual acceleration in frequent use. (Claire Simpson and Sam Restivo are the editors.) Mescal acquits himself well in his first big-budget commercial walloper of an assignment, confined though he is to a narrower range of seething resentments than Crowe’s in the first film. I left thinking about two things: the word “politics” as savored/spit out by Washington, and the innate paradox of how Scott, whose best work over the decades has been wonderful, delivers spectacle. The director and his lavishly talented design team built all the rough-hewn sets with actual tangible materials the massive budget allowed. They took care to find the right locations in Morocco and Malta. Yet when combined in post-production with scads of medium-grade digital effects work in crowd scenes and the like, never mind the sharks, the movie’s a somewhat frustrating amalgam. With an uneven script on top of it, the visual texture of “Gladiator II” grows increasingly less enveloping and atmospherically persuasive, not more. But I hung there, for some of the acting, for some of the callbacks, and for the many individual moments, or single shots, that could only have come from Ridley Scott. And in the end, yes, you too may be moderately entertained. “Gladiator II” — 2.5 stars (out of 4) MPA rating: R (for strong bloody violence) Running time: 2:28 How to watch: Premieres in theaters Nov. 21.

Man arraigned on murder charges in NYC subway death fanned flames with a shirt, prosecutors say
Article content Vernon Fiddler scratched and clawed his way to almost 900 NHL games as a dogged, heart-and-soul centre after everybody passed on him come NHL Draft time. But Fiddler’s son Blake, 17, in his second junior season with Fiddler’s hometown Edmonton Oil Kings, will likely be a first-round pick this upcoming June. Blake looks today like what every NHL team is after—a right-shot, possible top-4 defender with impressive size (six-foot-four, 210 pounds). He could go in the No. 20 range in the 2025 draft after he was the first player taken in the WHL’s U.S. import priority draft in 2022, but before the draft next summer, Blake will be auditioning as alternate captain of the CHL rep team against the U.S. Development Program squad in a much-anticipated, highly-scouted two-game series in Ontario—in London Tuesday, in Oshawa Wednesday. The Canada-U.S. exhibition series could feature as many as 15 potential first-round choices in the 2025 draft, so half of the first round, and Fiddler is one of those who brings a lot to the table. “He’ll play in the NHL, probably as a support player to a No. 3, a second-pairing guy. He really defends well, plays within himself. Yeah, he’s going in the first round I would say,” assessed a long-time NHL amateur scout. The scouts will be watching—ex-Oiler captain Shawn Horcoff’s son Will, a forward, will be on the U.S. team, a nice twist because Will and Blake used to hang out at the Dallas Stars rink when Horcoff, now Detroit Red Wings’ assistant GM, and Fiddler were playing for the Stars. Blake’s pro pops Vern, 44, who lives in the Dallas area after playing for the Stars, and is in the residential real estate business, is more dad than instructor these days even if he coached Blake on rep teams in the 10-gallon Texas minor hockey market. Vern’s certainly keen on the Canada-U.S. bragging rights matchup this week but more the Oil Kings because it’s where Vern grew up. When the Oil Kings drafted Blake, it didn’t get any better than that. “Everything has just fallen into place,” said Vern, whose mother Pat looks after Blake at a townhouse in Sherwood Park that Vern bought for the family. “There were opportunities with the U.S. Development program for Blake but we started talking with the Oil Kings the January of his (import) draft year and we always looked at him playing junior,” said Vern, who was in the WHL once upon a time. “We wanted him in a big city so it would be easier for us to come and watch him. I was honest upfront and told the Kings (before the import draft) that I would like it if it was Seattle or Spokane (for better U.S. travel) but Edmonton would be perfect for my brothers and sisters there. “When it came to fruition and they took Blake, it was almost too good to be true.” Familiar surroundings for Blake. “We came up to Edmonton lots when I was younger, spent a couple of Christmases here and we would also be here in the summer. I’m pretty familiar with the city,” said Blake. “Living with my grandma, it’s awesome. She loves and so I do. I get great meals.” In an age when all NHL clubs are looking for offensive young D, Blake doesn’t fall into that realm. But he’s a right shot, something all teams crave for on the back-end. He’s a big teenage body, a player who shoos opposing players away from his net, and is an excellent, efficient skater. “For me it starts in the D zone, when I’m defending hard, making good first passes. That leads to getting my legs going, joining the rush. But the D zone...that’s a priority of mine,” said Blake, who is averaging about 22 minutes a game with the Oil Kings, and has had several phone calls and Zoom calls with NHL clubs already. He’s much taller than his dad, who is 5’11”. “I think I get my height from my mum’s side. Her side of the family is Croatian and my great grandpa was seven feet apparently and I have a cousin who played basketball and is 6’10”, said Blake. Being the son of a former NHLer always leads to questions about having a leg up on what being a pro is all about, of course. “It’s definitely an advantage. I was lucky that my kids caught the last four or five years of my NHL career and they remember the rinks, the dressing room, the morning skates. These kids soak everything in. They see dad cold-tubbing, and they’re curious about what that does,” said Vern. “Sometimes I question whether it was the right thing to get my kids into hockey but when you grow up around dressing rooms, you see your dad working out all the time, stretching, eating the right things,” said Vern. “Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of parents doing the right thing but it’s definitely an advantage (apple falling not far from the tree). And in the summers, you’re working out, or shooting pucks in the garage.” “It’s your line of work and the mental side, that’s the biggest part...being able to tell them what to hang onto and what not. We had other dads (NHL players) around too. Ray Whitney’s boy, Horcoff’s son, Travis Moen’s youngster,” he said. All good stuff for Blake. “My dad played in the NHL for a long time and I’ve got to spend a lot of time around pros, seeing how they prepare and play. It’s pretty cool,” said Blake. “From a young age, I’ve seen how hard NHLers work in the gym and it leads to their success on the ice.” ‘I coached him...but I’m his dad forever’ Blake never felt behind the 8-ball, growing up in Dallas, rather than in hockey-mad Canada. “We were on the planes a lot, we would have about 12 tournaments a year (rep hockey) and we would skate pretty much every day. I knew I was always getting enough work in,” said Blake. Seconded by dad Vern. “In the summers now Blake’s able to train at the Dallas Stars facility which is just down the street from where we live. He’s bumping elbows with Jamie Benn and skating with Wyatt Johnston. It’s not just me he’s learning from. He’s keeping an eye on Jamie or Tyler Seguin in the gym,” said Vern. “Yeah, later in the summers I’ve been able to skate with those guys (Benn, Johnston, Kevin Connauton), seeing what I could take away from those guys,” said Blake. Trying to steal some of their tricks of the trade? “For sure,” said Blake, with a knowing smile. Fiddler steadfastly has allowed to breathe. No telling him what he did wrong in the car after games. “When I was coaching him we had a rule. We just talked at the rink and once we got in the car if Blake asked me something I would talk, but I grew up in a family where everything was positive. In the car, it was always ‘You had a great game.’ If you had a bad game, you evaluated that yourself,” said Vern. “I coached him a little bit but I’m his dad forever.” “Blake can reach out to me and ask questions and I will give him information,” said Vern. “Sometimes it’s more honest than he would like it to be but I’m not there attacking him.” “I”ve tried to step away and the coaching staff is just outstanding (Luke Pierce, Devan Praught, Kyle Chipchura and Ladislav Smid),” he said. “He’s a long way from home but Luke and (GM) Kirt Hill are looking after him. He’s in good hands and it’s taken a lot of stress off us.” “It’s allowed me to be a dad,” said Vern. And Blake is living the hockey dream like his pops.
