New sculpture adds to history of Japantown’s Heinlenville Park

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:35:59 GMT

There’s a new landmark in San Jose’s Japantown neighborhood in the form of an 18-foot-high stainless steel sculpture called “Sheltering Wing.” The gleaming metal artwork was installed July 21 at Heinlenville Park, which is still under construction.Artist Roger White Stoller of Stoller Studio in Portola Valley said the piece is about Asian positivity and is also a nod to John Heinlen, the businessman who leased property to Chinese immigrants who were burned out of the previous Chinatown in downtown San Jose in the 1880s. Heinlenville, which was on the site of today’s Japantown, was a hub of Chinese cultural activities in the city for the next five decades, centered around the Ng Shing Gung temple.Stoller consulted with historian Connie Young Yu, San Jose Taiko co-founder PJ Hirabayashi and others from the city’s Asian community about what imagery should be contained in the metal-lace artwork. “Sheltering Wing” was completed a couple of ...

Boutier takes 4-shot lead into final round of Évian Championship

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:35:59 GMT

ÉVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) — Céline Boutier carded a 4-under 67 in the third round of the Évian Championship on Saturday to increase her lead to four shots going into the final day.The 29-year-old Boutier aims to become the first Frenchwoman to win the tournament, which became a major in 2013.“I didn’t start that good to be honest. I missed the first three greens but got a good break on 2 and was able to chip in. Then I just had really good chances on the two par-fives, seven and nine, and was able to take advantage of that,” said Boutier, who had a bogey on the 12th hole in a round of five birdies.“I was just trying to focus on making, hitting a good shot, and if I happen to have a birdie opportunity, I hit a solid putt. It was definitely positive and felt pretty good to start very good on the front.”Boutier’s closest challenger is Japan’s Nasa Hataoka, who posted a 68 on Saturday after rounds of 70 and 67.“Hopefully I will get more birdies tomorrow. It was good iron ...

Port workers in Canada’s British Columbia reject contract offer leaving ports hamstrung by dispute

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:35:59 GMT

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Port workers in British Columbia have rejected a mediated contract offer meant to end a labor dispute that stopped goods from moving in and out of harbors, including at Canada’s busiest port in Vancouver.In a letter posted on the union’s website late Friday, International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada President Rob Ashton said workers in the province are now calling on their employers to “come to the table” and negotiate directly, instead of doing so through the BC Maritime Employers Association.The vote to reject the contract raises the prospect of back-to-work legislation to end the uncertainty at more than 30 port terminals and other sites.The four-year agreement between the union and maritime employers went to a vote of about 7,400 workers on Thursday and Friday, after union leaders presented the deal to local chapters on Tuesday.The deal worked out with federal mediators had put a temporary halt to a 13-day strike that had commenced Jul...

Lo que Ucrania debe hacer para ganar en su avance hacia el sur, y lo que Rusia tiene en reserva

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:35:59 GMT

(CNN) — El ejército ucraniano está redoblando sus esfuerzos para romper las gruesas defensas rusas en su contraofensiva en el sur, que ha tenido problemas para ganar impulso desde que se lanzó a principios de junio.Los funcionarios ucranianos han dicho poco sobre qué nuevas unidades se están comprometiendo con la ofensiva, pero el ejército claramente ha agregado unidades recientemente acuñadas equipadas con blindaje occidental en al menos un segmento importante del frente sur.Los desafíos que enfrentan los ucranianos tal vez tengan menos que ver con el número y más con las capacidades, el entrenamiento y la coordinación, factores que son críticos cuando una fuerza atacante se enfrenta a tal variedad de defensas.Los militares ucranianos disparan un pequeño sistema de lanzamiento de cohetes múltiples Partyzan hacia las tropas rusas cerca de la línea del frente.
