BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — If the teary-eyed hugs with his two sons and wife at the Zamboni entrance weren’t hints enough, Sabres goalie Craig Anderson made it official following a 4-3 overtime win against Ottawa on Thursday night.

And that’s just the way this game goes, Father Time always catches up to you.”The 41-year-old from Park Ridge, Illinois — who won’t be suiting up in Buffalo’s season finale at Columbus on Friday — closes his career at 319-275-71.

Aurora superintendent candidate Andre Wright avoids questions on embezzlement report

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 22:13:01 GMT

AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — Andre Wright's meet and greet with Aurora Public School teachers probably didn't go the way he hoped Wednesday night.He's one of three finalists to be the new superintendent for Aurora Public Schools. The public forum for teachers was a chance for educators to ask questions of the candidate but the Problem Solvers estimate not even 10 teachers showed up from the entire district, and one teacher who did have questions was not given an answer by Wright. "So I'm curious to know how you feel like your name should still be in the running for superintendent when your name is riddled throughout that police report against Ron Fay and Jill Watkins," was the question posed by Jill Cullis. Cullis taught at Gateway High School for 30 years but retired in 2021, after she says she was forced out by her principal Ronald Fay. Fay himself would retire in July of 2021 after he became the target of an embezzlement investigation.Alleged embezzlement and grade fixingA 338-page Aur...
