Young forward Ben Richards was able to lose his man early and force a quick-fire double attack before a moment of quality from Harley saw the returning ‘d’ man pick up possession of a loose puck near his own blue line, skate between two opponents before deking beyond a third and pinging a wrist shot off the bar on 45 minutes.
Those in attendance must have feared lady luck was against their heroes and with time quickly running out, Warriors coach Longstaff opted to call a time out and pull netminder Lawson for the extra skater.
At the ensuing face-off, Payette was able to win the puck to the right of the Telford goal before it was worked across to the impressive Harley who once more released a cannon slap shot that would this time fly into the net and earn the Warriors a much deserved point in a thrilling 3-3 draw.
Man the match awards went to Daniel Croft for Telford Tigers and Dean Holland for Whitley Warriors.
After the contest, Warriors’ assistant coach Dave Holland said: “We’ve picked up a really good point; I think we’ve improved a lot over the last few weeks.
“We started off a bit on the wrong foot against Solway, who we must remember are one the better teams in this league but week by week we’ve got better.
“For me to come back from 3-1 down going into the final period and draw 3-3 is a great point and shows we’re going in the right direction.
“Having some of the lads back gave us a bit more strength; we aren’t quite where we want to be yet, but certainly third period we dominated.
“We were able to change the lines up a little bit, but going forward there will be nights we have guys missing and ideally we could do with a couple of extra bodies.
“We’ve lost some important players over the summer in the likes of Jamie Tinsley and Callum Queenan and replaced with uni lads who are working hard with the rest of the team.
“Our performance was good and encouraging, especially as we’ve not been able to train much this week because of the work being done on the ice.
Warriors are in cup action on Sunday, October 2, at home to local rivals Billingham Stars, with the face-off at the usual time of 5pm.
Assistant coach Holland added: “Looking to the Billingham game we should have Callum Watson to come back into the fold whilst Dean [Holland] is getting back to fitness still after his injuries last season.
Lawmakers back effort to have Indigenous Peoples' Day replace Columbus Day in New Mexico.
FARMINGTON — The New Mexico Senate approved a measure to have Indigenous Peoples' Day replace Columbus Day in the state.
Senators voted 22-15 in favor of House Bill 100 on March 15, a day before lawmakers concluded the 60-day session in Santa Fe.
The bill moves to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham for her consideration.
It had passed the House on Feb. 7 with a vote of 50-12.
Senators spent more than an hour discussing the bill in comments that applauded the proposal as well as labeling it as "divisive."
Sen. William Sharer, R-Farmington, said the proposal divides rather than unifies communities.
"The reason that Columbus is celebrated is because he was the first step to the culture that we have today in America," Sharer said.
Sen. John Sapien, D-Corrales, said he understood the reason behind the proposal but found it difficult to vote for or against it because his constituency consists of Italian Americans and members of Sandia Pueblo.
"I have a lot of people who feel there was positiveness that they feel based on Columbus Day," Sapien said.
New Mexico is home to four tribes and 19 pueblos.
Sen. Benny Shendo Jr., D-Jemez Pueblo, presented the bill to the Senate and explained part of its purpose is to recognize challenges tribes and pueblos face, including sustaining languages and cultures and protecting sacred sites.
"We fight every day. …I think this bill is part of that, to recognize Indigenous peoples of this state and of this country," Shendo said.
Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez praised the bill's passage, stating the proposal was overdue.
Nez said in comments released by his office that the federal government created Columbus Day in 1937 without input from Native Americans.
"For many years, Indigenous people have protested Columbus Day because it celebrates colonialism, oppression and injustice inflicted on Indigenous peoples. Observing Indigenous Peoples' Day allows citizens to recognize our rich heritage and serves as a step toward healing and growth," he said.
It’s an age-old tradition for parents to read to their kids at bedtime, but finding children’s books with Jewish themes can be a challenge in Vermont. So, many families are turning to the PJ Library, which sends out free children’s books devoted to Jewish stories and holidays.
Each Vermont town independently operates its own library. This set up makes each library unique to its community, but it also puts limits on the amount of resources the library can offer and on the ability of staff to meet increasingly technical community needs.
The recession is a boon for Vermont libraries. Librarians say Internet use and circulation of books and periodicals is up and more people are attending library programs.
The privacy of library patrons’ borrowing records has been an issue since the Patriot Act of 2001 gave the federal government broad new powers to investigate them.
Here are the top stories at 7:30 a.m.: More than a third of Vermont’s schools failed to make progress in the past year toward increasing their students’ test scores.The Vermont House has approved legislation that makes all library records confidential, unless a judge issues a warrant for the information.
VPR’s Jane Lindholm talks with Vermont Sate Libriarian Sybill McShane and Lisa Von Kann, Livrary Director of the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum about the challenges facing libraries across the state.
