A football player who just finished eighth grade in D.C. already rakes in name, image and likeness money and has an agent to help him navigate sponsorship deals at just 14 years old.

Kaden Coleman Bennett has had a knack for finding the end zone on the football field since he first discovered the sport, and he says he’s just getting started.

“I found something that I love; I found something that I wanted to do,” he said. “And you know, since then I’ve always been playing football since I was four.”

His athletic abilities as a running back have already earned him verbal college offers from Syracuse and Virginia Tech. He also was invited to Bill Belichick’s football camp at the University of North Carolina.

“It is kind of crazy, but it’s not hard to see because of my work ethic and the work that I’ve been put in throughout the years of me with football and school,” said Coleman Bennett, who committed to DeMatha Catholic High School.

A strong village helps ensure he keeps up with his practice schedule, potential business deals and his 3.5 GPA, Coleman Bennett said. He gives his mother, Brittany Coleman, a lot of credit.

“I’m super proud of him,” she said. “He’s faced a lot of adversity, through youth sports and just different things and people coming at him and stuff like that.”

His dad and stepfather also keep him grounded.

“As a young boy, we always taught him — me and mom — always taught him how to be ready for this moment with these NIL deals,” said his father, Bernard Bennett.

“It is our responsibility to set him up and put him in the position to accomplish the goals that he wants to accomplish,” said his stepdad and trainer, Quinton Brown.

With interest from multiple sponsors and potential NIL deals already knocking on his door, Coleman Bennett says having a solid infrastructure is imperative. That’s a key reason he already signed with a sports agent, Terrence Jackson, who is helping facilitate Coleman Bennett’s first NIL deals.

“There’s a reason why I’m here, and it’s really just to be … a place of peace. Someone that knows the ins and outs,” Jackson said.

Coleman Bennett’s focus is on getting better in order to get to the next level academically, athletically and professionally.

“Eat, sleep, grind and dedication,” he said. “I just keep those four in my pocket every time.”

Coleman Bennett aspires to become a biological engineer once he finishes his football career.

What did you do last Saturday?

One Rye resident spent the early morning swimming the ten kilometers (6.21 miles) across Long Island Sound from Morgan Park in Glen Cove, Long Island to the Larchmont Shore Club in support of Swim Across America’s mission to fight cancer. One of eleven elite open water master swimmers (four women and seven men), Adam Coe, age 45, of Rye, made the swim. It was his second time doing a 10K and third time participating in Swim Across America. Coe swam as part of the Next Level Private team run by Barry Mitchell of Harrison.

“I’m probably the one of, if not the least experienced out of the crew [that swam Saturday],” Coe told MyRye.com, who raised $5,000 to support the swim.

You do this for fun, and to be able to take a passion project and have it be for a good cause is just a neat thing that we all like to do.”

Coe grew up in the Midwest and Texas, and played water polo for Texas A&M. He moved to Manhattan in 2007 and then when he moved to Rye in 2022 with his wife and two kids, Coe fell in with Westchester Masters, an open water swimming group. Members of the group have swam around Manhattan and swam across the English Channel. Wherever there is water locally, Coe swims – the Rye YMCA, the Greenwich Y, Oakland Beach, Playland Beach, Coveleigh Club, Manursing Island Club and Rye Golf.

“I swim all over Rye. Any place that is wet in Rye I probably swam there,” said Coe.

Next up for Coe is a swim around Manhattan – his first. The swim will raise money for Family Reach, another nonprofit supporting those facing cancer (you can support Coe’s Manhattan swim fundraiser).

TRPA Board approves Transportation Plan update, settles enforcement cases

LAKE TAHOE, Calif./Nev. – The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) Governing Board unanimously approved the 25-year Lake Tahoe Regional Transportation Plan last week, TRPA said today.

LAKE TAHOE, Calif./Nev. – The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) Governing Board unanimously approved the 25-year Lake Tahoe Regional Transportation Plan last week, TRPA said today.

Called Connections 2050, the four-year update ensures that transportation policies and priority projects improve safety, protect the lake, and reduce vehicle miles traveled in the Tahoe Basin. Backed by extensive public and partner agency input, the plan includes more than 90 projects focused on improving transit, trails, town centers, and technology.

The redeveloped main street in Kings Beach, Calif. reduced traffic congestion, improved pedestrian safety, and is helping revitalize the town center. Locating more residential and visitor accommodations in town centers further reduces reliance on the car travel.

“Improving Tahoe’s transportation system supports our lake environment and communities,” TRPA Executive Director Julie Regan said. “Significant progress has been made upgrading Tahoe’s roads with water quality infrastructure and providing additional options like trails and transit. We must continue that progress while addressing growing safety concerns and strengthening the resilience of the region.”



Key strategies of Connections 2050 include:

  • Increasing safety and reducing congestion in Tahoe’s most popular roadway corridors through corridor management plans that coordinate transit, parking management, and reservation systems.
  • Supporting wildfire evacuation planning by ensuring roadways are safe and navigable and communication infrastructure is ready for more extreme weather and emergencies.
  • Integrating new technology including travel apps, communication systems, parking reservations, and on-demand microtransit.
  • Identifying sustainable funding to invest in transportation infrastructure and transit.

An example of corridor work kicked off earlier this month with the launch of the Emerald Bay pilot project. Public agencies and non-profit partners are coordinating new microtransit service, installation of roadside parking barriers, and more parking enforcement in one of Lake Tahoe’s most popular transportation corridors. In the first six days of the pilot, 460 passengers accessed Emerald Bay via microtransit thanks to the leadership of elected officials and the funding support of local nonprofits.

Enforcement Cases

The Governing Board also demonstrated its commitment for TRPA’s compliance initiatives by approving a $20,000 settlement for illegal tree removal at a property in Incline Village, Nev. The trees in question were not related to fire safety. TRPA works with all fire protection districts in the Tahoe Basin to ensure tree removal for defensible space is expedited, according to TRPA. Policies allow property owners to remove hazardous trees with fire district approval and, in some cases, without a TRPA permit. TRPA approval is generally required in non-hazardous cases to maintain forest health, prevent soil erosion, and protect scenic quality. For more information on tree removal, visit trpa.gov/trees-and-defensible-space.

The enforcement case adds to Board-approved settlements last month including a $16,000 fine for illegal tree removal on public land in South Lake Tahoe, and an $85,000 penalty for removing sensitive vegetation and disturbing the shorezone on a lakefront property in North Lake Tahoe. A list of approved violation settlements is available at trpa.gov/agency

Hundreds of tons of sand will transform Minnesota Street into beach volleyball courts for 88 teams and thousands of spectators at the third annual Spikin’ In The Street Sand Volleyball Tournament Friday and Saturday.

NEW ULM — Much of downtown New Ulm will become eight sand volleyball courts and sand wrestling mats for the third annual Spikin’ In the Street.

The Rolling Thunder Sand takedown wrestling tournament starts at 6 p.m. on Minnesota Street sand Friday. Age divisions are kindergarten through grade 12.

Rolling Thunder board member Shanna Kent said 38 male and female wrestlers from the Twin Cities to Wabasso were entered in the tournament as of late Monday afternoon.

New Ulm Area Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Sarah Warmka said the Rolling Thunder wrestling club asked if they could participate in Spikin’ In the Street after last year’s event.

“They wanted to be part of the fun. It sounds fantastic. Why not use the sand for another thing?” said Warmka.

She said 60 to 70 dump truck loads of sand will be dumped on Minnesota Street Friday.

It’s a rain or shine event barring lightning or a tornado.

Volleyball games begin at 7 a.m. Saturday and continue until about 10:30 or 11 p.m.

Warmka said a number of volleyball teams from New Ulm and Mankato are entered plus teams from Lafayette, Sleepy Eye, Morgan, Redwood Falls, Stewart, Sioux Falls, Hutchinson, St. Cloud, Plymouth, St. Louis Park, St. Paul, Vadnais Heights, Dakota City, Ne., Madison Lake, Eagle Lake, Duluth, Mapleton, Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Faribault, Jackson, Truman, St. James, St. Bonifacious, even as far away as Crestview, Fl.

Division B champion Team Thrivent of New Ulm returns this year.

There are cash payouts for all levels of play. The event is sponsored and planned by many local businesses. Funds raised will go to promote New Ulm and the New Ulm Business & Retail Association, a committee of the New Ulm Area Chamber of Commerce.

Warmka said she doesn’t have a figure on the amount of business the tournament brings to town but said it has a significant economic impact.

“We know our restaurants, bars and stores will be busy this weekend. The big picture is big events like this help businesses recruit and retain employees,” said Warmka.

Spectators are welcome. Bring a lawn chair. No coolers will be allowed. Food and beverages will be available for purchase on site.

Six food trucks will be downtown Friday–Legacy BBQ, Lola’s, Simply Made Right, Sleepy Bison Grill, Ruhland’s Strudel Haus and The Sugar Shack.

Ten food trucks are scheduled for Saturday–Jersey’s Food Truck, Legacy BBQ, Lola’s, NU Franklin Mobile, Reve Coffee Co., Sleepy Bison Grill, Chick-fil-A, Pronto Pups, Ruhland’s Strudel Haus and The Sugar Shack.

Downtown bars and restaurants have extended their liquor licenses into the street. The alley near the B & L Bar is a designated smoking area.

Warmka said volunteers are still sought for the tournament.
