Cliff Wang had wrestled since he was 6. The sport had taught him countless lessons about determination, hard work, perseverance through adversity that echoed through his life off the wrestling mat.
In his sophomore season, while wrestling the country’s eighth-ranked wrestler, it taught him something else: There is a time for everything in life. Despite his continued love of the sport, his time on the mat had ended.
Wang suffered a devastating knee injury that day, tearing his anterior cruciate ligament, his medial collateral ligament, his lateral collateral ligament, and his meniscus. His opponent’s move was legal, Wang says in reflection, but his own knee, weakened by earlier injuries, just couldn’t stand up to it.
Roger Self will serve at least 38 years in prison after being convicted of killing his daughter, Katelyn Self, and daughter-in-law, Amanda George Self, in 2018 by driving his Jeep into a restaurant where his family was seated after attending Sunday morning worship services.
While 38 years represents the minimum prison sentence for the 65-year-old Self, his maximum sentence handed down Friday by Superior Court Judge Athena Brooks was 48 years. I wish I would have had an opportunity before I died to hold my family again, he said in addressing the judge after sentencing. I m going to die in prison, Self added. But then I ll be free because of Christ and his love for all of us.

A cool, gentle, creeping fire came to the bushland that surrounds the Tang Tang and Thunder swamps in central Victoria, north of Bendigo, in 2019. It burnt gently through grasslands and connected up with other fires lit on the forest floor to create a mosaic effect.
This fire was lit by Dja Dja Wurrung people, including employees of Forest Fire Management Victoria, and their non-Aboriginal colleagues. It was the first cultural burn in the area in 170 years.
It was a momentous day, says Trent Nelson, the chairperson of the Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation. In the years since cultural burning had been used, the landscape had become degraded and sick . The region, which includes the towns of Daylesford, Bendigo and Boort, used to be cloaked in box-ironbark forests and woodlands but is now one of the most profoundly altered landscapes in Victoria, where agriculture, urban settlement and mining have left ecosystems fragmented.
