My friend, Mike DiMauro, the sports columnist for The Day, wrote a column recently celebrating the re-opening of New London’s iconic Dutch Tavern after a pandemic-related closure of more than a year. In describing The Dutch’s cozy interior, he pointed out, among other qualities at this fine establishment, that there is no Wi-Fi.
“But there are several newspapers,” he wrote, adding parenthetically “A newspaper is a printed publication issued daily and commonly contains news, sports, features, commentary and advertising, in case the word is unfamiliar.”

NOTRE DAME, Ind. Jackie Wolak collected a career-high six points (4G, 2A) and Bridget Deehan made 10 saves as #5 Notre Dame earned a 13-8 victory over Virginia in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday afternoon at Arlotta Stadium.
With the victory, Notre Dame (11-6) has earned its fifth trip to the NCAA Quarterfinals (2002, 2006, 2009, 2016, 2021) and will meet #4 Boston College next Saturday (May 22) at 3 p.m. ET. The Irish will be aiming to reach the National Semifinals for just the second time in program history (2006).
“Today was another total-team effort that was led by our graduates and seniors and their unwavering belief in where this program is going,” said Irish head coach Christine Halfpenny. “I think the performance today and the outcome we earned came off of an incredible week of preparation. I’m really proud of this group, who has now played every ACC program except for Virginia Tech twice this season. That in and of itself has given us incredib

Dias added that the scale of the layoffs in the airline sector was unsustainable, noting that the possibility of travel to more remote areas in Canada was being threatened. The industry also needs the government to provide a plan for safely reopening the Canadian border, Dias said.
Some cities in Canada have been left with drastically limited access to air travel, particularly in the Atlantic provinces. WestJet and Air Canada have both cut many routes in Atlantic Canada since the start of the pandemic, affecting the regional economy and threatening the survival of certain airports, which depend on revenues from passengers and airlines.
