Kelsey Mitchell Explains Caitlin Clark’s Influence on Fever Re-Signing

January 29 has been a fantastic day for the Indiana Fever and its fanbase.

This is because star guard Kelsey Mitchell has re-signed with the team for the 2025 season. Not only is Mitchell beloved among the Fever’s fanbase because she has been with the team ever since getting drafted with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 WNBA Draft by Indiana, but because her backcourt duo alongside Caitlin Clark turned the Fever into one of the WNBA’s most lethal teams in the second half of the 2024 regular season.

Clark already made her opinion about Mitchell re-signing apparent. And during her welcome reception back at Indiana’s arena on Tuesday, Mitchell spoke about how Clark helped convince her to stay.

“I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart,” Mitchell said when addressing the Fever crowd, per an X post from the Fever’s social media account. “Indiana has been my second home since I went pro, so this is the only city I know.

“To see you guys open your arms up to me… that was a big part of me coming back because I got a chance to meet really great people,” she added.

“Then I met one of the greatest people in the world, Caitlin Clark, who just ran the basketball world,” Mitchell said. “I think together, we hope to make you guys proud. We hope to make you guys feel like you’re a part of our success and our journey. And I’m here. Let’s do this.”

It will be…

OPINION: The Last of the Republican Mohicans: McConnell, Murkowski, and Collins Are Fighting a Lost War

Donald Trump is back in the White House, and the Republican Party is firmly his. The old-guard GOP—the party of Bush, McCain, and Romney—is dead and buried, replaced by an America First movement that is stronger than ever.

But not everyone got the memo.

A few holdouts from the old establishment—Senators Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and the fading Mitch McConnell—are still clinging to their power, trying to stand in the way of Trump’s agenda. They are the Last of the Republican Mohicans, relics of a party that no longer exists, desperately fighting to maintain relevance in a GOP that has moved on without them.

Their resistance is not a sign of strength. It’s the last gasp of a dying political class, one that has run out of time, power, and options.

McConnell’s Final Act

For decades, Mitch McConnell was the ultimate Washington insider, the Senate’s master of maneuvering. He blocked Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, pushed through conservative judges, and kept the Republican caucus in line. Love him or hate him, he knew how to wield power.

Not anymore.

McConnell is a shadow of his former self. His grip on Senate Republicans has weakened, his ability to stall legislation is no longer absolute, and his declining health has left him visibly struggling to keep up. At 82, this is likely his last term, and with nothing left to lose, he is playing the only card he has left: obstructing Trump’s second-term agenda, not because he thinks he can win, but because it’s all he has left.

But here’s the problem for McConnell—he doesn’t run the party anymore. The days of Republican senators bowing to his authority are over. The House GOP has fully embraced America First, electing their Speaker on the first ballot without the backroom chaos of past leadership fights….

North of Middle Island by D.A. Lockhart

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedit is better to dream than to face the darkness.

D.A. Lockhart’s seventh poetry collection, North of Middle Island, is a work that I struggle to share adequately.

Divided into two parts, the first half consists of poems in which Lockhart examines and reports on a “land that has been forgetful of its Indigenous past”: Pelée Island (resting north of Middle Island in Lake Erie), and the forces (both natural and colonial) that shape life there. Something is unsettling about the poems; at times, his descriptions would leave me feeling that I was in a remote space. He uses white space and words with equal skill, creating the feeling of quiet remoteness that one can have while in nature “alone” (despite being surrounded by teeming hidden life).

Other times, the world of the island is sumptuously painted: A sunrise is described as being “awash in a deepening bruise of our long waking slide towards morning and beyond”; the skittering of terns are “talons raking sand like a breath”; or, the rabbits (chëmàmsàk) kick up dust “as they dance from ditch to ditch” (the latter a particular example of the poet’s use of white space to simulate the darting of small creatures across the road).

Primarily in English, Lockhart weaves the Lenape language (of the Unami dialect) throughout the collection, providing spiritual links across time and space. (He shares a reference guide defining the words used; I wish I could hear how they are pronounced for the full lyrical effect I fear that I’m missing.)

The second part of the collection is a shift in tone (with a…

The state of the art of state names

Here’s an oddity: No doubt you’ve noticed that some of our states bear Native American names. But have you ever counted how many? Illinoisans, of course, know we’re surrounded by such states: Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, and, of course, our own Illinois (a Frenchification of a Native American tribe, the Illini). 

We’re so used to it, we take it for granted. But keep going: Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Kentucky, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Alaska, Idaho, Nebraska, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.

Twenty-eight out of 50. More than half! Add the six states with Spanish names, California, Colorado, Florida, Montana, Nevada, and Oregon (a little less definitively), and the tally is 34. For good measure, throw in the French-derived states, Louisiana, Maine (also less definitive), and Vermont, plus one from the Dutch, Rhode Island (anglicized from Roode Eylandt, referring to the red clay near the shore, which resolves the mystery of why a state that isn’t an island should be named “Island”). 

That brings the total to 38 out of 50 states bearing non-Anglo names (the remaining 12 are Washington, Virginia, West Virginia (Kanawha, the lovely name of a principal river, regrettably, didn’t make the cut), North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Georgia, New York (changed from New Netherland when the English took over), Pennsylvania (William Penn wanted it named just “Sylvania” for the forests), and Delaware (which sounds Native American, and there is a Delaware tribe, but the state was named after Lord De La Warr, the first governor of Virginia, go figure).

One would expect, in a country culturally “descended” from the British, that the majority of states would bear Anglo names. No, they are but a small minority. And one would definitely not expect —…

Below freezing? Perfect for fishing! Nanticoke Conservation Club hosts 28th annual derby

The Nanticoke Conservation Club hosted their 28th annual ice fishing derby Saturday morning.

The return of the event after two years of cancellations, cold weather allowed for the ice to freeze eight to nine inches thick, creating perfect fishing conditions.

“Ice fishing is not for everybody but when you fall in love with ice fishing, it may become your favorite place to be,” said Philip Dale, a member of the Nanticoke Conservation Club.

The derby at Francis Slocum State Park invited fishermen of all skill levels to brave the cold and reel in the biggest catch.

“We sometimes used smaller poles as you can see, so you can sit alongside holes drilled through the ice. You have a short pole so you can get up close to it. This is jigging, using a small jigging pole and you can bob that up and down a bit and hopefully it will attract a fish to come over and grab your bait,” explained Dale.

Using sleds to bring equipment on the lake, holes are dug throughout the ice with special tools to find the perfect spot.

“Drilling holes all over the ice and going from spot to spot until you find where those fish are. Typically, they’ll be around different structures like a stump or a rock,” said Dale.

Different species of fish can be found in different lakes, but for the derby, six were being targeted.

“Bass, pickerel, perch, crappie, trout, bluegill and we have a youth prize for the biggest fish overall that they catch,” said Gary Gronkowski, president of the Nanticoke Conservation Club.

Metal crampon spikes attached to shoes allowed those on the ice to enjoy a safe day on the lake.

“It does not affect how structurally sound it is for people to be out there. It can be frightening. You can be…
