fish fillet sauce LOS ANGELES (AP) — Anze Kopitar scored twice, Adrian Kempe had a goal and an assist, and the Los Angeles Kings got their seventh straight home win by beating the Philadelphia Flyers 5-4 on Sunday night. Kevin Fiala and Warren Foegele also scored for the Kings, who trailed 4-2 midway through the second period before rebounding to sweep a back-to-back after defeating recent playoff nemesis Edmonton in overtime on Saturday. David Rittich made 17 saves. Kopitar was in the right place to redirect Quinton Byfield's rebound in and tie it at 4 early in the third, before following it up by chopping in Kempe's shot during a power play at 8:55 for the 5-4 lead. Matvei Michkov had a goal and an assist for the Flyers after being benched for the third period against Anaheim on Saturday . Tyson Foerster, Scott Laughton and Joel Farabee also scored, and Aleksei Kolosov made 15 saves. Flyers: Michkov responded well after some tough coaching from John Tortorella, ending a seven-game point drought. Kings: Kopitar is 19 seasons into his Kings career but shows no signs of slowing down. He is up to 12 goals and 27 assists through 36 games. Foegele showed good composure in following up his rebound on a breakaway with 4:56 left in the second, getting the Kings back within 4-3 and setting the stage for Kopitar's final-period heroics. Los Angeles is a resilient bunch, improving to 8-7-1 when allowing the first goal. The Flyers visit San Jose on Tuesday, and the Kings host New Jersey on Wednesday. AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhlBy ADRIANA GOMEZ LICON FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump promised on Tuesday to “vigorously pursue” capital punishment after President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of most people on federal death row partly to stop Trump from pushing forward their executions.

Biden said converting their punishments to life imprisonment was consistent with the moratorium imposed on federal executions in cases other than terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder. “Joe Biden just commuted the Death Sentence on 37 of the worst killers in our Country,” he wrote on his social media site. “When you hear the acts of each, you won’t believe that he did this. Makes no sense. Relatives and friends are further devastated. They can’t believe this is happening!” Presidents historically have no involvement in dictating or recommending the punishments that federal prosecutors seek for defendants in criminal cases, though Trump has long sought more direct control over the Justice Department’s operations. The president-elect wrote that he would direct the department to pursue the death penalty “as soon as I am inaugurated,” but was vague on what specific actions he may take and said they would be in cases of “violent rapists, murderers, and monsters.” He highlighted the cases of two men who were on federal death row for slaying a woman and a girl, had admitted to killing more and had their sentences commuted by Biden. On the campaign trail, Trump often called for expanding the federal death penalty — including for those who kill police officers, those convicted of drug and human trafficking, and migrants who kill U.S. citizens. “Trump has been fairly consistent in wanting to sort of say that he thinks the death penalty is an important tool and he wants to use it,” said Douglas Berman, an expert on sentencing at Ohio State University’s law school. “But whether practically any of that can happen, either under existing law or other laws, is a heavy lift.” Berman said Trump’s statement at this point seems to be just a response to Biden’s commutation. “I’m inclined to think it’s still in sort of more the rhetoric phase. Just, ‘don’t worry. The new sheriff is coming. I like the death penalty,’” he said. Most Americans have historically supported the death penalty for people convicted of murder, according to decades of annual polling by Gallup, but support has declined over the past few decades. About half of Americans were in favor in an October poll, while roughly 7 in 10 Americans backed capital punishment for murderers in 2007. Before Biden’s commutation, there were 40 federal death row inmates compared with more than 2,000 who have been sentenced to death by states. “The reality is all of these crimes are typically handled by the states,” Berman said. A question is whether the Trump administration would try to take over some state murder cases, such as those related to drug trafficking or smuggling. He could also attempt to take cases from states that have abolished the death penalty. Berman said Trump’s statement, along with some recent actions by states, may present an effort to get the Supreme Court to reconsider a precedent that considers the death penalty disproportionate punishment for rape. “That would literally take decades to unfold. It’s not something that is going to happen overnight,” Berman said. Before one of Trump’s rallies on Aug. 20, his prepared remarks released to the media said he would announce he would ask for the death penalty for child rapists and child traffickers. But Trump never delivered the line. One of the men Trump highlighted on Tuesday was ex-Marine Jorge Avila Torrez, who was sentenced to death for killing a sailor in Virginia and later pleaded guilty to the fatal stabbing of an 8-year-old and a 9-year-old girl in a suburban Chicago park several years before. The other man, Thomas Steven Sanders, was sentenced to death for the kidnapping and slaying of a 12-year-old girl in Louisiana, days after shooting the girl’s mother in a wildlife park in Arizona. Court records show he admitted to both killings. Some families of victims expressed anger with Biden’s decision, but the president had faced pressure from advocacy groups urging him to make it more difficult for Trump to increase the use of capital punishment for federal inmates. The ACLU and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops were some of the groups that applauded the decision. Biden left three federal inmates to face execution. They are Dylann Roof, who carried out the 2015 racist slayings of nine Black members of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina; 2013 Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev ; and Robert Bowers, who fatally shot 11 congregants at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018 , the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S history.

Can America build big things anymore? Donald Trump can prove that the answer is still yes — by revolutionizing how America builds energy infrastructure. In the process, he’ll transform our economy and secure our global leadership. Trump’s opportunity centers on his excellent picks for three key federal agencies: Doug Burgum at the Interior Department, Lee Zeldin at the Environmental Protection Agency and Chris Wright at the Energy Department. He should charge them with circumventing the National Environmental Policy Act — the biggest barrier to US infrastructure and energy dominance — by creating hubs where energy projects are not only welcome but speedily built. Let’s call them “American Abundance Zones.” The need to move past NEPA is clear: The well-intentioned 1970 law has morphed from a simple environmental-review process into a chokehold on infrastructure development , blocking everything from solar projects in Arizona to pipelines across the Midwest to liquefied natural gas terminals in Texas. NEPA has created a lawsuit factory that leaves America unable to build many small energy projects, while global competitors like China build massive infrastructure in the blink of an eye. Look at the nearly three-fold increase in Chinese nuclear generation since 2014. The solution is to set aside designated zones on federal lands where innovators could quickly deploy energy infrastructure without fear of NEPA permitting delays or lawsuits. That could include nuclear plants, transmission lines, pipelines, grid-scale batteries, wind farms, solar installations and more. These zones would be easiest to establish in western states, where the federal government owns vast swaths of land. Yet throughout the United States, even in the East, South, and Midwest, the federal government owns land that can be carved out for this purpose. Federal law gives the executive branch wide latitude over how federal territory is used — and the Biden administration itself has proposed using this authority to bypass NEPA requirements for geothermal projects. The Trump administration can go much further. Trump’s Cabinet secretaries at Interior, EPA and Energy could work in concert to designate abundance zones across the 640 million acres owned by the federal government. Then each of them could take specific steps to make these zones a success. It starts with the Department of the Interior, which generally oversees federal land. Burgum could streamline land-use review processes and pre-clear suitable locations for rapid development while ensuring responsible stewardship of public resources. Interior’s Bureau of Land Management could create an expedited program to lease federal lands specifically for clean energy projects, like solar and geothermal, within these zones. At EPA, Zeldin could establish standardized environmental criteria for all projects within the zones, eliminating the need for project-by-project reviews and speeding up construction dramatically. Finally, under Wright’s leadership, Energy could help fast-track the approval process for new projects, particularly regarding new technologies like small modular nuclear reactors. For example, the department could establish general safety standards for such reactors, or could propose a series of standardized designs that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission could use to quickly green-light proposals. This three-pronged approach would open up huge swaths of land for energy infrastructure. No decade-long reviews. No costly litigation. Just American energy dominance — built at what used to be American speed. And while extreme environmental activists may claim the sky is falling, their catastrophizing can be dismissed as the obstacle it has always been to progress. Strong environmental protection doesn’t require endless reviews. Good government doesn’t mean strangling innovation in red tape. And America doesn’t need to apologize for wanting to win the economic race in the 21st century. More energy is particularly important for America’s leadership in cutting-edge technology like artificial intelligence, which requires massive amounts of power — far more than our country currently produces or has credible plans to generate. More energy would also make feasible innovations like ocean desalination to provide water for growing cities and industry, as well as vertical farming in large buildings, which is more efficient than normal farming on vast tracts of land. But these technologies aren’t viable right now — because energy isn’t abundant or affordable enough. The best way to unleash American energy and economic growth would be the wholesale reform of NEPA, or better yet, its repeal. That seems unlikely in a closely divided Congress, so making the most of federal land is the next best bet. As new energy projects break ground and get online in short order, they would remind our people of what’s possible if we dismantle the regulatory barriers holding us back. By creating American Abundance Zones, President Trump can not only usher in a brighter economic future, but restore Americans’ belief that such a future is possible — and worth pursuing, nationwide. Christopher Koopman is CEO and Josh T. Smith leads energy policy at the nonprofit Abundance Institute.

Enterprise senior Lee Lott visited several college softball programs in recent months in a quest to find her future home in the sport. One stood out above the others to her – the University of West Alabama, located in Livingston. The Wildcats' outfielder has signed to play for the Tigers’ softball program. “I had other offers, but this one stood out to me,” Lott said minutes before a signing ceremony on Monday outside the Enterprise High School Performance Arts Center (PAC). “I knew I wanted to go there from the start. “It just stuck out to me. Ever since my visit, that (school) is all I can think about. I just love it.” Lott said UWA “stuck out” to her mainly because of the friendliness of the coaches and players. “The coaches are awesome and when we went to the camps, the girls (players) who help run it were great,” Lott said. “It just felt like a family there.” Lee Lott is shown during the signing ceremony at Enterprise High School on Monday. Enterprise head coach Kate Stump said Lott has been a valuable player both offensively and defensively for the Wildcats the past two seasons. The Wildcat head coach adds Lott will be counted on for big production this upcoming season. “She is a really good outfielder,” Stump said. “She gets great reads. Offensively, she is a power hitter. When she puts the ball in play, there is a good chance it is going to be a double or a home run. “Having her offensive ability for our team is going to be crucial, especially in her senior year. We are going to look to her to kind of fill some roles in RBI situations. Definitely, offensively is where she shines.” Lott batted in the four through six spots in the lineup during her previous two seasons. She has delivered a career .312 batting average with 15 doubles, four home runs and 43 runs batted in over 75 games. She also drew 20 walks and scored 37 runs during her sophomore and junior years. While she has power on offense, Lott feels defense is another strong part of her game, especially in anticipating plays from her outfield position. “My on-field IQ is pretty good, and I am good about thinking where the play is (the throw back in) before the ball is hit to me,” Lott said. Lott said another strength of hers is the ability to help keep her teammates upbeat at all times. “I feel I am a good encourager,” Lott said. Stump said Lott is indeed a valuable teammate and is a role model for Enterprise players. “One thing about Lee is she is a good all-around kid,” Stump said. “She is a coach’s dream to have in the program. She will always do what you ask her to do to the best of her abilities and give 110 percent. She is always a good teammate.” Get in the game with our Prep Sports Newsletter Sent weekly directly to your inbox!

"The state of emergency has been lifted...we want people to be back to normal is quickly as possible," he added.

CONCRETE — One year ago, the Upper Skagit Library stepped up its efforts to fight local food insecurity by starting a community refrigerator known as a Freedge. A celebration of the first year was held Friday at the library. Loly Gomez, the library technology specialist who spearheaded the program, said in one year the library has saved about 4,000 pounds of food that may otherwise have been tossed out, putting it in the hands of people in need at no cost to them. Library Director Erica Brown said Upper Skagit has had to throw out food only in cases of extended power outages or other library closures. “We really love this project,” Gomez said. “It’s a huge help for the community.” She said local businesses such as 5 B’s Bakery and Concrete Market Fresh, and PeaceHealth United General Medical Center, have donated. Gomez said the library is always on the lookout for donors and that it has volunteers who can drive as far as Burlington to pick up donations. Library volunteer Diamondrose Alkire said the Freedge helps everyone from newborns to seniors and has been good for the teens who frequent the library after school and on weekends. She said it provides a safety net both for herself and for members of the community. “It is a blessing because it helps us in our time of need,” Alkire said. In addition to the food in the Freedge, the library has snack baskets for the teen and kid zone.None

The Miami Hurricanes, who once appeared to be a near-lock for the College Football Playoff, are not playing for a national title. Instead, they will play in the Pop-Tarts Bowl in Orlando. That bowl berth against Iowa State is a let-down for fans with dreams of a sixth national title in their minds, as well as players hoping to compete for a championship. However, Miami’s trip to Orlando and the lead-up to it are still crucial periods for the Hurricanes for multiple reasons. First, it’s a chance for the program to achieve something it has not done in more than two decades: win 11 games. Although the 11th win won’t get them closer to a championship, it is a good sign of the program’s progress over Mario Cristobal’s tenure. It would also end UM’s five-game losing streak in bowls. “We’re not satisfied,” Cristobal said. “We want to win every single game. We won 10. We were close on the other two, but close isn’t good enough. We want progress. We’re hungry and driven to get better, and so that’s what our focus is on: to improving as a football program, to getting better, to moving into the postseason with an opportunity against a great football team like this and putting our best on the field.” There are signs the Hurricanes will show up at close to full strength for the bowl game. Running back Damien Martinez announced he was going to play, and star quarterback Cam Ward said in a video call posted on social media that he intends to play, as well. “We’re trying to win our first bowl game in 20 years,” Ward said in the video, mistaking the length of UM’s long bowl losing streak. “We’re going hard.” Playing in the bowl game also provides the opportunity for the Hurricanes to get in several practices between now and the game. That means Miami can develop its young players and prepare them for next season during both the practices and the bowl game itself. “It’s extremely valuable,” Cristobal said. “You really don’t have many opportunities throughout the course of the year — time is limited more and more each season with your student-athletes. I want to state this and be very clear: it’s very important, it’s ultra-important for the University of Miami to continue to develop and grow and progress by stressing the importance of offseason opportunities ... You learn a lot about your team and learn a lot about your people and your program when you head to the postseason.” Of course, there are potential negatives. Players can get hurt; Mark Fletcher Jr. suffered a foot injury in the Pinstripe Bowl last year that cost him all of spring practice. A poor performance can also potentially set the tone for next season, like how Florida State, fresh off a playoff snub last year, suffered a devastating loss against Georgia in the Orange Bowl and went on to a dismal 2-10 season this year. “This is the ending of ’24 and the beginning of ’25,” Cristobal said. “This is the last opportunity to be on the field and carry some momentum into the offseason. So it is, in essence, it is the most important game because it’s the next game. “There’s a lot of excitement in the form of opportunity for our guys. Our guys love to play football. The chance to play one more time with this special group — this is a special group of guys now. They’ve worked hard to really change the trajectory of the University of Miami, and they want to continue to elevate the status and the culture at the University of Miami. So certainly a ton to play for.” ____ Get local news delivered to your inbox!
