EVANSTON, Wyoming (KSTU) — A new white bison calf was born at Bear River State Park in Evanston earlier in May, attracting the attention of hundreds of visitors.Just an hour and a half away from Salt Lake City, this sighting has captured the attention of many Utahns — like the White family, who are no strangers to rare occurrences, including raising spontaneous triplets.The Whites, with their four kids, including the three triplets, embarked on a Memorial Day weekend trip to Bear River State Park upon hearing about the presence of two white bison and a newborn calf.“We packed some binoculars and thought we’d have to be looking for them in the hills, but it turns out they’re right across the fence and right off the freeway. We saw them driving in,” Michael White said. “Apparently, it’s not an albino buffalo; it’s actually genetically a white buffalo.”Bear River State Park is home to three white bison. The first two were acquired i...Fire crews battle large Brockton blaze that spread through 2 multi-family homes

Published Sat, 30 Nov 2024 12:22:33 GMT
Within the span of half an hour on Aug. 2, 2022, Yennier Cano’s life changed twice.First, his wife, Arianny, told him she was pregnant. Cano had longed to be a father, and to that point, the couple’s efforts to have a child had been fruitless. The joy of the news was jolted by a phone call, one to inform Cano that the Minnesota Twins had traded him to the Orioles.In summarizing his initial reaction to the trade, Cano offered an expletive, a word he felt captured both his bewilderment and disappointment at leaving behind the only major league organization he knew. Almost 10 months later, he views both events as blessings. Cano and Arianny’s son, Cristopher, was born in early March, and with Baltimore, Cano has broken out as perhaps baseball’s best reliever despite coming into this season an unknown 29-year-old with previously disastrous results in the major leagues.The gifts in his personal and professional lives follow an odyssey in which he nearly quit baseb...Latest news
