Pegula beats Yuan to claim Korea Open title

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:49:27 GMT

SEOUL (AP) — Jessica Pegula beat Yuan Yue 6-2, 6-3 in the final of the Korea Open on Sunday for the fourth title of her career. The top-seeded Pegula dropped only one set through the tournament and becomes the first American since Venus Williams in 2007 to win the title in Seoul. “My mom is Korean and she was adopted from here so it’s really special to be able to win here,” Pegula said. “In the last few years, as my ranking has gone up, I’ve definitely felt so much more support from the fans, a lot more than I expected coming back here from five years ago. So it’s really special.”Playing in her first career final, 128th-ranked Yuan showed no signs of nerves and earned a break point in Pegula’s opening service game, which the American saved with a forehand winner. The world No. 4-ranked player then won eight consecutive games to take the first set and build a 3-0 lead in the second as a quick victory looked likely. Yuan then rallied to get back to 3-4 but Pegula’s power from th...

An Arab paramedic who treated Israelis injured by Hamas militants is remembered as a hero

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:49:27 GMT

When Hamas unleashed its attack on thousands of Jews attending a music festival in southern Israel earlier this month, an Israeli Arab paramedic insisted on staying at the scene to try to save lives.In the end, he gave his own.Awad Darawshe was 23, single, handsome — but he wasn’t at the Tribe of Nova festival to dance. He worked for Yossi Ambulances and was among a team of paramedics assigned to work the festival in a tent on the site’s periphery. He was killed when Hamas militants slipped undetected into Israel from the Gaza Strip and butchered their way through the festival crowd and into nearby villages, settlements and kibbutzim.Shortly after dawn on Oct. 7, rockets pierced the skies. Grenades went off. Gunfire ricocheted everywhere. Injured, bleeding revelers raced to the paramedics’ station. But the chaos quickly escalated. As the scope of the Hamas attack became clear, the station’s leader ordered the paramedics to evacuate.Darawshe refused to leave. He was shot to death whi...

Pot shops lucky to be in business amid competition, advertising rules and THC limits

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:49:27 GMT

TORONTO — Sean Kady spent most of his 20s toting around a teal tackle box that once belonged to his roommate’s grandfather. Occasionally, people would spot the box and ask to borrow a wrench, but it didn’t contain tools or bait.Instead, the box was home to a cannabis supply Kady covertly sold to a steady stream of customers. Kady has since gone legit, having opened Toronto pot shop Cosmic Charlies with his brother in 2021. But the money was so good in his tackle box days, he sometimes wonders if he had the right idea even though he was on the wrong side of the law.“I have made the joke that we’ll just relinquish our licence and I’ll start selling the weed that I could get again, and I’ll make a lot more money,” Kady said.“I would never do it, but I’ve threatened to do it for fun.”Kady can be forgiven for wistfully recalling his past. Pot shop owners have had a rough five years.Since Canada legalized recreational cannabis on...

Review: Parody, melody and blasphemy come together in ‘Dicks: The Musical’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:49:27 GMT

If you like your “Parent Trap” riffs with heaping helpings of horny humor, insane musical numbers and a soupcon of monsters in diapers, then “Dicks: The Musical” may be your jam, especially if blasphemy is your bliss.To be clear, this film version of an off-Broadway musical comedy (the name of which this family newspaper will publish as “F—ing Identical Twins”) could turn into an actual parent trap if families confused it for kid-friendly fare. Your first clue this isn’t the Disney version is the opening title card, which proclaims the thing was “bravely written by two homosexuals,” helpfully adding that it’s the first thing ever written by homosexuals. Then Bowen Yang shows up as disco-fied God (“He/Him,” He asserts), and we’re off.Co-playwrights and stars Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson reprise their stage roles as alpha-male douchebags Craig and Trevor, respectively, businessmen in an “American Psych...

Skywatch: The great autumn galactic happening

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:49:27 GMT

Now that we’re well into early autumn and the bright light of the harvest moon is long gone, it’s a fabulous time to make a date to get out in the dark skies of the countryside, that is, if you’re not already living out there. I guarantee this will be a treat you’ll remember for a long time, whether by yourself or with family or friends. Bring blankets, binoculars, star charts, snacks, and beverages, and be prepared to sleep in the following day. Even better, turn this into an overnight campout if you don’t mind braving the October chill! It will be a great show. The clear autumn skies are more transparent because the air has much less humidity.For the heck of it, when you settle under the autumn evening heavens, attempt to estimate how many stars you can see with your naked eye. Traditional astronomy textbooks say you can see about 3,000 stars in the dark countryside with the naked eye, but I’m sure there’s much more. Don’t even try t...

Francis Wilkinson: Hamas’ terror also holds a warning for the U.S.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:49:27 GMT

We become depraved by degrees.Germans did not become Jew killers in a day. It took years of conditioning, via propaganda, and then steady practice, via party and state brutality, to shed their humanity and become a nation of functional sociopaths.The Hamas terrorists who murdered babies in their cribs last week weren’t stamped with pathological hatred at birth. It was an acquired habit, the result of a process of moral dulling and rage sharpening. No doubt some foes of Hamas will now rejoice at the sight of Palestinian babies blown to smithereens in retaliation. It’s not a terribly long distance from eye for an eye to baby for a baby.If you look around American politics, you can see the early stages — and in select cases not so early — of the kind of moral, social and intellectual deterioration that first imagines, and later gleefully invites, atrocity.At New York magazine, Eric Levitz has an excellent survey of moral idiocy on the left.
