Workers at Windham, NH transfer station find wedding ring accidentally thrown in trash

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 08:22:59 GMT

For the third time in two years, workers at the transfer station in Windham, New Hampshire have found a wedding ring accidentally thrown in the trash. The latest find came after a woman called the transfer station on the day before Thanksgiving saying she may have thrown out her ring. “She gave me some particulars: at what time her husband threw the trash out, what was in the trash bag, what kind of car he was driving,” said Windham General Services Director Dennis Senibaldi. Speaking with 7NEWS, Senibaldi said the transfer station has surveillance cameras. Those cameras, he said, were the key to finding the lost ring. “We were able to track when he was here, exactly what time he threw the trash out and where the trash in the trailer was located,” he said. Senibaldi said the trash in question “was literally the first scoop into the trailer.”“That’s 12 feet down from the top of the trailer that we had to dig through to find her one bag,” he said....

Ravens OLB David Ojabo had surgery to repair partially torn ACL, will miss rest of season | NOTES

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 08:22:59 GMT

Ravens outside linebacker David Ojabo had surgery last week to repair a partially torn ACL and will likely be ready for training camp next year, coach John Harbaugh said.Ojabo, the team’s 2022 second-round draft pick, had hoped to avoid surgery and play again this season, but Harbaugh said “every medical expert told him to get it fixed.”Ojabo has played just five games in two seasons after he spent most of last year recovering from a torn Achilles tendon suffered during his pro day at Michigan. He was considered a first-round talent with enormous upside as an edge rusher before that injury.“David’s going to be a great player in this league,” said Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald, who also coached Ojabo at Michigan. “He’s dealing with adversity right now, and he needs our support. He has it.”Stanley ‘needs to get stronger’Harbaugh said the Ravens came out of their Sunday night victory over the Los Angeles Ch...

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 08:22:59 GMT

The Chicago Bears amended their schedule on Thanksgiving, holding a walk-through and a handful of meetings at Halas Hall as they work toward Monday night’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. The team returned to practice Friday, pushing to move past Sunday’s collapse in Detroit while still looking for its first NFC North victory since late in the 2021 season.Here are five things we learned Friday at Halas Hall.1. Luke Getsy defended the offensive philosophy and play calling from the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss.There was a lot to unpack after the Bears settled for two fourth-quarter field goals against the Lions and later were outscored 17-0 over the final 4:15 in a 31-26 loss. The Bears began the quarter with a failed quarterback sneak on third-and-1, then chose to kick a 40-yard field goal for a 23-14 lead rather than going for it on fourth-and-1.On their next possession, despite chewing up 8 minutes, 45 seconds of clock on a 14-play scoring drive, the Bears ...
