Good Humor ice cream’s ad notes its Creamsicles are only a 100-calorie treat. (Courtesy: Unilever) I have to admit to a certain weakness for creamsicles. The curious mixing of orange and vanilla into an ice cream treat had long been a personal favorite, and it seems that a flock of product managers for noteworthy food brands have similar feelings. Various spins on orange and cream have made this classic combo a hot item again in 2022 on menu boards and grocery shelves. Now, it’s a good bet this springtime splurge is simply a timely marketing play pushing a popular flavor. Food trend watchers at Innova found that 44% of consumers say what they eat is most influenced by traditional or nostalgic flavors. I’ve long wondered what might compete with pumpkin spice as the king of seasonal flavors. So, let’s consider who’s going with orange cream – some big names. Start with the Wendy’s burger chain. The early 2024 twist on its signature Frosty sweet treat is its Orange Dreamsicle. “Travel back in time with sweet, nostalgic flavors,” the announcement states. The April special at the

By AAMER MADHANI and SEUNG MIN KIM (Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden signed into law on Wednesday a $95 billion war aid measure that includes assistance for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and that also has a provision that would force social media site TikTok to be sold or be banned in the U.S. The announcement marks an end to long, painful battle with Republicans in Congress over urgently needed assistance for Ukraine. “We rose to the moment. we came together. and we got it done,” Biden said at White House event to announce the signing. “Now we need to move fast, and we are,” But significant damage has been done to the Biden administration’s effort to help Ukraine repel Russia’s brutal invasion during the funding impasse that dates back to August, when the Democratic president made his first emergency spending request for Ukraine aid. Even with a burst of new weapons and ammunition, it is unlikely Ukraine will immediately recover after months of setbacks. Biden also signed an initial aid package of military assistance and said shipment would begin in the “next

Two years after overturning Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court is hearing a high-profile abortion case Wednesday involving Idaho’s near-total abortion ban. The Biden administration is challenging the Idaho law with a creative legal argument, saying it conflicts with an existing federal law requiring hospitals to provide emergency care for pregnant women, even if it means performing an abortion to save the mother’s life. CBS News chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford is at the Supreme Court with more.

Chris Paul’s season ended earlier than it has in over a decade. He’d made the playoffs for 14 straight seasons. He was a fixture of May basketball. But with the Warriors, Paul missed the playoffs despite teaming up with three other future Hall of Famers. Before this year, the last time he played for a lottery team was 2010. Life was different back then. Paul was 24 and in his athletic prime. It was five teams ago, before he created pick-and-roll nirvana in Los Angeles with Blake Griffin. His first child, Chris Paul II, was only one year old; he’s now on the cusp of the preps basketball hype machine. Paul is older and wiser now. He’s a father of two. He intends to extend his career into Year 20, confident in his ability to still drive efficient offenses. He did so this past season with the Warriors, even on a team that seemed like an awkward fit personality-wise but ended up being a tougher fit on the court. Paul has a “big summer” ahead of him, he said. His offseason will be another one

RED BLUFF — Tehama County Sheriff Dave Kain held the first in a series of town hall meetings to discuss his department’s successes, challenges and future. The sheriff’s patrol radius on any given day or shift is approximately 3,000 square miles for the around 67,000 Tehama County residents. A few years ago, the sheriff’s office had to pause some of its dispatch services due to staff shortages. Since February 2023, staffing has increased, and the county has 24-hour service, seven days a week. Since Kain took office, the department has hired three lateral officers from Portland, two from Red Bluff, one from Redding, one from Siskiyou County, one from Modoc County, and one from Trinity County. “It is unheard of for us to bring these level of people that already have street experience as deputy sheriffs to work in our community,” Kain said. “They have been cops for a long time in other jurisdictions, and they have come to our agency and that is great for us.” He promised to keep fighting to get the sheriff’s office fully staffed. As the staffing issue continues, the

“We’re making important progress with representatives of the student encampment” By Jon Haworth Wednesday, April 24, 2024 10:22AM Lindsay Tuchman reports on the protests from Morningside Heights. NEW YORK — Columbia University has said they are making “important progress” with representatives of the student encampment on campus as protests calling for the divestment of college and university funds from Israeli military operations have continued to spread on campuses across the country. The student protests — some of which have turned into around-the-clock encampments and have led to hundreds of arrests — have erupted throughout the nation following arrests and student removals at Columbia University in New York City. “We are making important progress with representatives of the student encampment on the West lawn,” Columbia University said in a statement released early Wednesday, adding that student protesters have committed to dismantling and removing a significant number of tents and that protesters will ensure that those not affiliated with Columbia will leave. Columbia University also said that student protesters in the encampment have agreed to comply with all requirements of the New York City Fire Department and
