TORONTO – Allen Graves stopped and shook every reporter’s hand before he stepped into his post-practice media scrum on Monday.
When he had answered all their questions, he shook everyone’s hand again, thanking them for their time. It’s rare for any professional athlete to be so formal, but Graves is dedicated to doing all the little things right, including anything that the Toronto Raptors ask of him. “Whatever the plan is for me, I’m ready and willing,” the 20-year-old said. “Just hopefully whatever it may be, I’m just going to take every opportunity I get and just run with it.”The Raptors drafted Graves 19th overall out of Santa Clara University this past summer. Graves redshirted his first season with Santa Clara, but averaged 11.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game for the Broncos last season. He also had 1.9 steals and 0.9 blocks per game in his only NCAA season, earning him the West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year and Sixth Man of the Year awards.

Letter to the Editor: Who is willing to stand up for Arizona's water? - Arizona Daily Sun
I have written 100 essays about Arizona water, runaway growth, sprawl, wildcat development, the Colorado River and the relentless destruction of the desert we keep claiming we want to save. At some point the argument has to become simpler: enough is enough. We know the river is shrinking. We know groundwater is being overdrawn. We know the 100-year water guarantee has become buried beneath credits, certificates, transfers, replenishment schemes and legal language that almost nobody outside the system can follow. We know every new subdivision creates another permanent demand for water and permanently removes another piece of desert from the map. And still the answer from the growth machine is more growth.

Kyle Kennedy, granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy, dies.
Kyle Francis Kennedy, a granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Kennedy, died last month at her home in Westwood, according to an online obituary. She was 42. The notice, posted to the Burke Funeral Home website, said Kyle Kennedy died “peacefully” on Sept. 21. No cause of death was provided. She had suffered a spinal cord injury in 2020 that brought “long term paralysis, disability, and other medical challenges,” the obituary said. She was born in Washington, D. C. in 1984 and spent most of her life in Massachusetts, where she “built a career devoted to early childhood education,” the obituary said. “Blessed with a formidable intellect, dry wit, and beauty, she will be remembered for her devotion to her children Conor, Josephine, and Declan, and her support for educational reform for disadvantaged children and for people living with disabilities,” the obituary said. She attended Milton Academy and later graduated with a degree in history from Georgetown University before earning master’s degrees from both Pace University and Harvard’s Graduate School of Education, the obituary said.
