Protest draws crowd from across nation near Capitol
March 15 rally near the Capitol disperses after about 30 minutes with no arrests. Organizers claimed 100,000 plus, police privately estimated fewer. Notable guests included Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, and Jane Fonda who contrasted with Vietnam era protests. A 12 year old Harvard student led a petition against the war, citing over 3,000 U.S. deaths and seven reported Saturday. Congress members warned of acting to stop the war while White House dismissed claims. Busloads from 40 states joined, and a small counter protest voiced veterans’ concerns.

Volunteers fear insurance burden and court penalties cited in interviews
Kernan argues volunteers should not face legal risk or extra insurance when aiding during emergencies such as bird flu or wildfires. She recalls 2006 smoke emergencies that required housing and meal support, noting no one faced legal consequences but schools could not be liable for allowing aid. She also supports SB68 to notify school officials when a student is charged with violent offenses, stressing confidentiality and limited access to superintendents, principals, and counselors to protect children while enabling counseling and safety.

Barbaro Undergoes Procedure On Right Hind Leg
Barbaro, the Kentucky Derby winner, had a custom-made cast removed and underwent a procedure on his right hind leg on Saturday. It is the first time that leg has been the focus since the earlier injury eight months ago in the Preakness, while the left hind leg had previously caused serious recovery concerns due to laminitis warn. The co-owner Roy Jackson said the team performed procedures on the original injured limb.
