Reporting from Surf City El Salvador, former CT surfer and current WSL commentator and Rip Curl athlete, Rosy Hodge, joins us on the podcast for another ‘On The Road' edition of The Lineup. Rosy breaks down the latest shake-ups at Punta Roca, Isabella Nichols narrowingly making heat against Caroline Marks, upsetting her chances at a 3-peat win at the Surf City El Salvador Pro, as well as Rookie Bella Kenworthy defeating Erin Brooks in the Round of 16 despite her knee injury. Rosy and Dave both discuss standouts of the event, Ethan's progressive style on the rail, and Rosy's picks to win the event. Rosy riffs on gear talk, sharing board banter with insights on shapers like Marcio Zouvi, Matt Biolos and Britt Merrick on the ground in El Salvador. She explains why the evolution of women's surfing—especially in heavy waves—is what excites her most right now. Bringing a fresh, layered perspective to the mic—one shaped by years on the CT, life as a mom, and a front-row seat to the sport's biggest moments as a commentator, Rosy shares how she's finding more joy in surfing than ever before, from catching waves herself to watching her son, Hayes, discover the water, and what she's looking forward to most in the world of competitive surfing.

Two veteran political journalists Jim Asher and Dale Eisman who have investigated and analyzed Washington power for decades discuss what they saw in watching the Trump Inauguration and what they think it portends. It was a weird day from the guest list to the richest man in the world making a Nazi salute and it's likely to get more weird, they agree. James Asher, now retired, was a veteran investigative journalist and Pulitzer-Prize winning editor. Over his career, he worked as reporter and editor at five newspapers on the East Coast, including the Philadelphia Inquirer and The Baltimore Sun, In 2002, he moved to Washington as national investigative editor for The Knight Rider company. He later ran the Washington Bureau for the McClatchy Co., which bought Knight Ridder in 2006. Under his leadership, McClatchy set a standard for independence in Washington, winning numerous national awards for journalistic excellence. In 2017, he shared a Pulitzer for his work on the global Panama Papers document leak about off-shore tax havens. In all, he managed and edited four other projects that were finalists for a Pulitzer, including two for McClatchy and two for The Sun.  After leaving McClatchy, he worked for Injustice Watch, a nonprofit focused on criminal justice reform, and he helped The Associated Press with its coverage of the Mueller investigation of Donald Trump.  A native of Utica, NY, Asher holds a B.S. and a M.S. from Syracuse University and did postgraduate work in finance, economics and accounting in Temple University's MBA program. Dale Eisman is a veteran journalist who capped a 37-year newspaper career in Virginia and Washington DC with an eight-year stint advocating for good governance as a writer and editor at Common Cause. He's covered trials in state and federal courts and campaigns for offices from city council to the Virginia statehouse to the US House and Senate. He's also been catapulted off aircraft carriers and tracked sailors, soldiers, airmen and Marines in the US, Europe, and the Middle East. Now retired, he lives in Surf City, NC.

El Gobierno de Nayib Bukele se ha caracterizado por mantener bajo secreto la información sobre el manejo de los fondos públicos. Como una evidencia más de que esta práctica de ocultar información sigue vigente, Acción Ciudadana presentó un nuevo informe en el que explica que solicitó documentos y detalles de 23 proyectos millonarios de infraestructura pública y que la respuesta de las instituciones encargadas de manejar los fondos y ejecutar las obras fue que no podía entregar información porque eso podría "poner en riesgo la defensa nacional y la seguridad pública" y también que "la información es inexistente". Aunque el gobierno publicita a escala internacional proyectos como Surf City, la megacárcel (Centro de Contención del Terrorismo CECOT), la Biblioteca Nacional de El Salvador, remodelación del Estadio "Mágico González", construcción de un nuevo Hospital Rosales, el Aeropuerto del Pacífico, entre otros; en la escala nacional la norma ha sido la ocultación de la información sobre el manejo de los fondos millonarios invertidos.

Daughter Receives Two Consecutive Life Sentences for Murdering Father and His Girlfriend Over Will Dispute

Sherry Lee Heffernan, a 57-year-old woman from Landenberg, Pennsylvania, has been handed two consecutive life sentences for the heinous 2021 killing of her elderly father and his longtime girlfriend, authorities announced on Friday. Heffernan was found guilty earlier this year for the murder of 87-year-old John Enders and his live-in girlfriend, 57-year-old Francoise Pitoy, at Enders' beach house in Surf City, New Jersey. The case, which has gripped the community for over two years, saw Heffernan vehemently deny any involvement, claiming she was being framed. However, a grand jury ultimately convicted her of the stabbing and shooting deaths. According to prosecutors, Heffernan's motive stemmed from her father's decision to exclude her from his will and prevent her from selling his house, where the gruesome murders took place. On top of that, Enders cut her and an estranged daughter out of his living will the previous month, a friend said in the police account.  In early March, Heffernan was convicted by a jury of her peers as the double murderer based on evidence that her RV was caught on video driving down the Long Beach Island Bridge on the early morning of Sept. 29, 2021. Next, Heffernan traveled on foot toward her father's home. She carried an orange bag and clothes “too large” for her, and she hopped a backyard fence. Later that day, video captured her as she drove her RV back over the same bridge as before. Heffernan's son reportedly told cops in an Oct. 4, 2021, interview that his mother left home the previous week to visit her father. He allegedly described this as a “midnight dash.” Days later, authorities conducting a welfare check found both victims shot in the mouth and stabbed dozens of times at the home on North 7th Street. Enders was stabbed 51 times and Pitoy 39 times. Neighbors recalled Enders and Pitoy's 19-year-long relationship as a happy and loving one, further underscoring the shock and devastation caused by their tragic deaths. The trial lasted almost four weeks, prosecutors said. Jurors convicted Heffernan of two counts each of murder, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and unlawful possession of a weapon. Superior Court Judge Kimarie Rahill on Friday ordered Heffernan to serve 63 years and nine months without the possibility of parole for each murder, saying the crime was committed with “extreme depravity.” “This defendant will spend the rest of her life in prison. This is an appropriate sentence and we are hopeful that this brings some measure of closure to the family and friends of John and Francoise,” Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said in a statement.
