Here’s a recent AP story on Caitlin Clark:

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark already is one of the WNBA’s most recognizable players.

So when she made her first road trip last week, the league’s top overall draft pick had to adapt. Instead of loading her bag directly onto a plane and boarding, Clark found herself traversing the same lines and waits as everyone else at the Dallas airport — just like most of the league’s players.

It’s a hassle she wouldn’t mind avoiding on future trips and now league commissioner Cathy Engelbert is working on a solution.

One day after Engelbert told a group of sports editors that she’s trying to find regular charter flights for all 12 WNBA teams, Clark and her new teammates embraced the move.

“I think you just have to be aware of where you are,” Clark said after Wednesday’s practice. “You travel with security, which is nice. It’s just different from college where you put your bag on the plane, hop on the plane and then you’re off. But like (here) you’re waiting at baggage claim, you’ve got to go through the normal security with everybody else. For me, it was my first time doing it. It wasn’t terrible. I just went about my business and kept my head down.”

Clark went on to score 21 points in her pro debut , a 79-76 loss.

But her star power has only fueled a debate that took center stage last season when Phoenix Suns star Brittney Griner was confronted by a man who started asking questions as she walked through an airport. The incident became so heated that the man was tackled and law enforcement was called.

League officials called the man’s actions “inappropriate” and “unfortunate.”

It spurred a leaguewide debate over player safety with some veteran stars asking that league officials do more, including charter flights. And now, with one of the most heralded rookie classes entering the league, Engelbert wants to take action even if she doesn’t have a defined timetable for when it could happen.

Fever coach Christie Sides also remembered sleeping in an airport while working with the Chicago Sky because of several delays before the flight was eventually canceled. She said the team took a 6 a.m. flight and played later that night.

For those reasons, it can’t start soon enough for those who have been around the league for years — or for Clark, who has been driving WNBA ticket sales upward after spending her last two seasons at Iowa driving a substantial increase in television ratings.

“I’m thankful at whatever point that happens, that would be great for us. It will make recovery easier, it will make travel easier,” Clark said. “It just makes life a lot easier for a lot of people, but also it’s just something a lot of people have deserved for years and years.”

Charlamagne tha god takes shots at the media, calls republicans ‘crooks’ and democrats ‘cowards’.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Charlamagne tha God , the popular host of “The Breakfast Club” radio show, bashed the conservative and liberal media spheres for creating division in America.

“We are insane right now,” Charlamagne said in an interview with The New York Times about the current state of U.S. politics.

“I blame the media so much for what’s happening,” he said.

Charlamagne said that he believes in telling the truth to both sides and “being objective.”

“I tell people all the time, ‘If you lie to them about Democrats, they won’t believe you when you tell them the truth about Republicans.’” he explained. “So why would I sit there and lie to people about the flaws I see in the Democratic Party?”

Charlamagne also spoke out on the three choices he believes voters have this year in the presidential election.

“This election is three options: Republicans who are the crooks, Democrats who are the cowards because they don’t fight enough for nothing, and the couch,” he said. “And the couch is voter apathy.”

Charlamagne said that Americans in general are “discouraged with politics,” but said he still believes the 2024 presidential election is easily “the most consequential election” of his lifetime.

“But it’s hard to get people to believe that, because we say that about every presidential election, because every Republican candidate has been demonized,” Charlamagne admitted.

“There’s all this talk about people being tired of Democrats,” he added. “No, people are just tired of politics.”

The podcaster and radio host referenced several media controversies that he has starred in over the last few years, claiming that some of them were blown out of proportion by “right-wing media.”

In February, Charlamagne told ABC that Biden was an “uninspiring candidate” who was not charismatic and had “no main character energy at all.”

Just two months later, Charlamagne said that DEI efforts are “well-intentioned” but “mostly garbage,” arguing that diversity efforts had backfired at companies across the U.S. and actually created worse work environments for Black employees.

Princeton, Clark landmarks among NJ's 10 most endangered historic places in 2024

T wo Central Jersey landmarks are on  Preservation New Jersey's  annual list of the 10 Most Endangered Historic Places in New Jersey.

Several challenges face properties on this year’s endangered sites list, including neglect and deferred maintenance, threats from redevelopment and new construction, difficulties in raising preservation funding, and the need for creative adaptive reuse proposals. 

The list, generated from nominations by the public, are based on three criteria: 

• historic significance and architectural integrity
• the critical nature of the threat
• the likelihood that inclusion on the list will have a positive impact on efforts to protect the resource. 

Homestead Farm at Oak Ridge enslaved quarters, Clark

Homestead Farm at Oak Ridge, which was called Ash Swamp during the Revolution, was once part of a 208-acre site. Today, little of it remains.

The area is home to Oak Ridge Park, Ash Brook Reservation, and Ash Brook Golf Course, and neighborhoods in Clark, Scotch Plains and Edison.

The remaining historic site includes enslaved quarters, which are one of the few examples of free-standing enslaved dwellings left in the state.

Local history: This Central Jersey arcade with cheap eats is the oldest in the country

The first section of the main plantation home was built between 1720 and 1740, partly with the proceeds from the sale of an enslaved woman named Phebe in 1717.

Although the Union County-owned site has been researched by the Clark Historic Society since 1995 — culminating in stories that include connections with the Underground Railroad — preservation efforts have stalled.

Union County is said to have plans to add new park amenities, which could impact the plantation and its significance to Black history.

According to a release, Preservation New Jersey supports the mission of the Friends of the Oak Ridge/Ash Brook Historic Sites in encouraging Union County to consider impacts to the Homestead Plantation.

Joseph Hornor House, Princeton

The brick, two-story Joseph Hornor House at 344 Nassau St. was built in the 1760s by the grandson of one of Princeton's Quaker founders.

An anchor to the Jugtown Historic District, the house occupies the northeast corner of the crossroads of Nassau and Harrison Streets.

However, an affordable housing project is proposed that would include adding a four-story structure to the rear that would amass and surround the historic structure.

Preservation New Jersey, the release said, supports and encourages the development to comply with preservation standards and guidelines as it will set the precedent for other new development in the Jugtown Historic District, as well as other historic Princeton neighborhoods. 

The rest of the 2024 list includes St. Paul's Abbey in Newton; the Anderson Farm and House, Bayville; the Garden State Gate House, Cherry Hill; Palace Amusements artifacts, Asbury Park; Orange Memorial Hospital, Orange; the MLK House, Camden; Urban Historic Districts, statewide; state owned and managed historic properties, statewide.

WNBA to begin full-time charter flights this season, commissioner says

The New York Liberty had a 13-hour travel day that included multiple bus rides, two commercial flights and time spent at three airports to get from Connecticut to Las Vegas. The wear-and-tear on their bodies is one reason players are lobbying for charter flights.

The WNBA plans to commit $50 million over the next two years to provide full-time charter flight service for its teams during the season, the league’s commissioner announced Tuesday in a move that addresses years of player safety concerns .

Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said in a meeting with sports editors that the league will launch a charter program “as soon as we can get planes in places.” She said it’s projected to cost around $25 million per year for the next two seasons.

That means no more long security lines, bodyguards in public spaces, cramped legroom or layovers for the professional athletes who have been lobbying for better travel long before Caitlin Clark’s celebrity brought newfound interest to the league.

Most importantly, Lynx forward Napheesa Collier says, it means safety for the players.

“All these players and these faces are becoming so popular that it really is about that as much as it as about recovery,” Collier said, noting how last season Brittney Griner was harassed by what the WNBA called a “provocateur” while traveling commercial.

The WNBA already had announced plans to once again pay for charter flights for the entire playoffs as well as for back-to-back games during the upcoming season. The league introduced that program last year, spending about $4 million on charter flights. Engelbert said at the time the league needed to be in the right financial position to do full-time charter flights.

The WNBA has never been more popular thanks to rookies like Clark , who helped the NCAA reach its best viewership in history for women’s basketball, with nearly 19 million fans watching the title game, along with Angel Reese who went to the Met Gala on Monday night and Cameron Brink.

Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve said it’s not business as usual anymore: It’s time for the league, franchises and women’s sports to be innovative.

“We’ve had moments in the league,” Reeve said, calling the current momentum a tsunami. “But this is clearly a movement. And if you think it’s not, you’re going to get left behind.”

Clark attracted attention walking through the airport with her new Indiana Fever teammates for a preseason game with the Dallas Wings last week. That exhibition sold out with fans lined up eager to get inside.

WNBA teams also have been moving games against Clark and Indiana to bigger arenas because of increased demand. The defending champion Las Vegas Aces became the first WNBA team to sell out allotted season tickets back in March after leading the league in attendance in 2023.

Flights have been an ongoing issue for the WNBA that only increased last year when the league began working with the Phoenix Mercury and Griner after the All-Star center’s 10-month detainment in Russia.

The league hadn’t allowed teams to use charter flights except for when they had back-to-back games.

That forced players like Breanna Stewart, the 6-foot-4 forward for the New York Liberty, to squeeze past fellow travelers on commercial flights to fit into her assigned window seat. WNBA players also had to not only retrieve their own luggage but endure travel days that could stretch 13 hours with delays.

Charter flights will allow WNBA players to go through private air terminals straight to buses or their own cars when returning home. Avoiding layovers also will help with recovery between games, which is even more crucial with this season’s schedule around the Olympics.

WNBA coaches and players were waiting Tuesday for details about the charter flights.

Stewart spoke to reporters via Zoom just before the commissioner spoke in New York. Stewart shared on social media an airplane emoji with a question mark to the attention of the WNBA’s account.

Las Vegas coach Becky Hammon, whose Aces already had security in place to protect players, knows what will make everyone ecstatic.

“Everybody’s very happy they’re not going to have to stand in security lines as much, or as long,” Hammon said.

Two-time WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson, who now has an endorsement deal with Gatorade, said the growth of the women’s game has been a “whirlwind” that was just a matter of time. Wilson said it’s up to the players and teams to put the best product on the court with so many people watching now.

“That’s what continues to bring more eyes and more people and more investors, and then we end up with charter flights, and then things are going off and people are spinning off, and now we’re having a great time,” Wilson said.
