Alaska firefighters help rescue a moose trapped in a home
Firefighters in Alaska got an unusual request for assistance last weekend from the Alaska Wildlife Troopers, but it wasn't your mundane cat-stuck-in-a-tree situation. โThey were looking for some help getting a moose out of a basement,โ said Capt. Josh Thompson with Central Emergency Services on the Kenai Peninsula. The moose, estimated to be a 1-year-old bull, had a misstep while eating breakfast Sunday morning by a home in Soldotna, about 150 miles (240 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage.

School apologizes for stating falsely in yearbook Trump was not impeached
โPolitical inaccuraciesโ in Arkansas junior high school yearbook included saying racial protests in US were โBlack Lives Matter riotsโ Yearbook included a photograph of the deadly 6 January insurrection in Washington DC captioned: โTrump supporters protest at the Capitol,โ were โboth biased and politicalโ. Photograph: Leah Millis/Reuters A school principal in Arkansas has apologized for โpolitical inaccuraciesโ in a yearbook falsely stating that Donald Trump was not impeached and that last yearโs racial protests in the US were โBlack Lives Matter riotsโ. Josh Thompson, principal of Bentonvilleโs Lincoln junior high school, admitted that some of the contents of the yearbook, which also included a photograph of the deadly 6 January insurrection in Washington DC captioned: โTrump supporters protest at the Capitol,โ were โboth biased and politicalโ. In a letter sent to students and parents, Thompson said the yearbook โdoes not represent our values nor meet LJHS and Bentonville Schoolsโ standards for quality and excellence.โ The letter did not address how the false statements and political opinions came to be published, but promised the school would โevaluate its vetting process for all yearbook content to ensure future publications are of the highest qualityโ. In many US schools, yearbooks are produced by students under the supervision of teachers, often during journalism classes. The Lincoln yearbook featured a photograph of an unidentified group next to an overturned car, with the caption: โBlack Lives Matter riots Started in Minneapolis in may of 2020 [sic]โ; and a separate photograph of the former president with his fists clenched and the caption: โPresident Trump WAS NOT impeached.โ In reality, Trump was the first president to be impeached twice, in 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, and again this year for inciting the Capitol insurrection. โWe can and will do better to provide a quality yearbook to students that can be a cherished item as they reminisce about their time at [the] school,โ Thompson said, offering his โdeepest apologiesโ and a refund to parents who had bought one. A spokesperson for the Bentonville school district declined to answer questions from the Guardian, stating that the principalโs letter would be its only comment. The Arkansas controversy follows another yearbook scandal earlier this week in which a Florida high school was criticized for digitally altering dozens of images of female students to hide their chests and shoulders. A teacher at Bartram Trail high school in St Johns admitted manipulating 80 photographs of girls she considered inappropriately dressed, while leaving images of male students, including one of a swimming team attired only in bathing trunks, untouched. The school also offered refunds.
