It’s fitting that the Stillwater Amateur Radio Association’s next major event will be held at Belwin Conservancy’s Savanna Center in Afton. The Savanna Center was once the home of the Rev. George Metcalf, a late Episcopal priest who helped craft a famous World War II prayer 80 years ago this week and was a ham-radio operator under the call sign of WØJH. “Remembering Father Metcalf-WØJH” will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 2-4 at the center, located at 795 Indian Trail S. The event is free and open to “anyone interested in communicating with other radio operators around the world,” said Dave Glas, past president of SARA. “This is a way for us to honor Father Metcalf,” Glas said. “We want to recognize his generosity in donating the land and his support of amateur radio and other sciences.” Metcalf, who died in 1995 , founded the Oratory of St. Mary’s on the site in 1959. For years, the land and the buildings, which included a residence and two small guest cottages, served as a spiritual retreat, and “Metcalf’s radio ministry was broadcast around the world from towers on the sloping hillside,” according to Belwin’s history of the center. Metcalf was a longtime volunteer with the Courage Center’s Handiham program, helping members with ham-radio education and learning Morse code, Glas said. Patton’s chaplain Metcalf grew up in St. Paul and served as Gen. George Patton’s personal chaplain during World War II. He was one of two chaplains who drafted the “Weather prayer” that Patton’s troops believed ended three months of cloudy skies and rain in December 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge. “There was terrible weather in that part of the world,” Glas said. “The Allies couldn’t fly airplanes in to provide support, and the Germans had tanks surrounding Bastogne.” At 8 a.m. on Dec. 22, 1944, Metcalf was at his desk in the Caserne Molifor, an old French military barracks in Nancy in the region of Lorraine, when the telephone rang, according to Stillwater historian Anita Buck, who interviewed Metcalf in 1975 and wrote about that interview for an article that was published in the Stillwater Courier News in 2003. “‘This is General Patton,” the voice on the other end of the phone stated, according to Buck’s account. “Can you find me a prayer for fair weather for battle? We can’t get air cover under the present conditions. It’s pretty serious, and I think we ought to pray about it.” Metcalf told Buck that he found several excerpts from four or five prayers in the Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church. He also conferred with the Third Army’s head chaplain, James O’Neill, an American Catholic priest who “picked phrases from his missal of the Catholic church,” Buck wrote. “Using that material, the two men put together the ‘fair weather’ prayer.” FROM THE ARCHIVES: Afton priest’s faith bolstered by WWII Christmas prayer O’Neill presented the prayer to Patton, who had it printed and distributed to unit members. Here is that prayer: “Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies, and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen.” The weather cleared soon after. Afton property After the war, Metcalf was chaplain for Episcopal students at the University of Minnesota and, later, associate minister at St. Paul’s On-the-Hill Episcopal Church on Summit Avenue. In 1959, Metcalf and his wife, Mary, went looking for property in the country and fell in love with 100 acres in Afton. In 1972, the Metcalfs donated about 90 acres of their 100-acre parcel to the Science Museum of Minnesota. The couple wanted the land, which included a freshwater marsh, to remain undeveloped and to be used for the observation and study of natural phenomena. The Metcalfs eventually became frustrated that the museum was not using the land for scientific study as stipulated in the deed agreement, family members said.

A settlement reached in 2006 transferred the land to Belwin . Mary Metcalf died in 2007 . Belwin officials have transformed the land into the Savanna Center, a hub for expanding programs and partnerships that make outdoor experiences more accessible to the community. The center is surrounded by 250 acres of restored oak savanna. The Belwin Conservancy, which specializes in outdoor science education, has protected more than 1,500 acres in the St. Croix Valley from development. The permanently protected land includes woodland, prairie, oak savanna, ponds, streams and wetlands. For more information about the SARA event, go to radioham.org .fc188 login 。

A new round of Israeli air strikes in Yemen have targeted the Houthi rebel-held capital and multiple ports while the World Health Organisation’s director-general said the bombardment occurred nearby as he prepared to board a flight. “The air traffic control tower, the departure lounge — just a few metres from where we were — and the runway were damaged,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on the social media platform X. He added that he and UN colleagues were safe. “We will need to wait for the damage to the airport to be repaired before we can leave,” he said. UN spokesperson Stephanie Tremblay later said the injured person was with the UN Humanitarian Air Service. Our mission to negotiate the release of @UN staff detainees and to assess the health and humanitarian situation in #Yemen concluded today. We continue to call for the detainees' immediate release. As we were about to board our flight from Sana’a, about two hours ago, the airport... pic.twitter.com/riZayWHkvf — Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (@DrTedros) December 26, 2024 Israel’s army later told The Associated Press it was not aware that the WHO chief was at the location in Yemen. The Israeli strikes followed several days of Houthi launches setting off sirens in Israel. The Israeli military in a statement said it attacked infrastructure used by the Iran-backed Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa and ports in Hodeida, Al-Salif and Ras Qantib, along with power stations, asserting they were used to smuggle in Iranian weapons and for the entry of senior Iranian officials. Israel’s military added it had “capabilities to strike very far from Israel’s territory — precisely, powerfully, and repetitively”. The strikes, carried out over 1,000 miles from Jerusalem, came a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said “the Houthis, too, will learn what Hamas and Hezbollah and Assad’s regime and others learned” as his military has battled those more powerful proxies of Iran. The Houthi-controlled satellite channel al-Masirah reported multiple deaths and showed broken windows, collapsed ceilings and a bloodstained floor and vehicle. Iran’s foreign ministry condemned the strikes. The US military has also targeted the Houthis in recent days. The UN has said the targeted ports are important entry points for humanitarian aid for Yemen, the poorest Arab nation that plunged into a civil war in 2014. Over the weekend, 16 people were wounded when a Houthi missile hit a playground in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, while other missiles and drones have been shot down. Last week, Israeli jets struck Sanaa and Hodeida, killing nine people, calling it a response to previous Houthi attacks. The Houthis also have been targeting shipping on the Red Sea corridor in what it says is an act of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The UN Security Council has an emergency meeting on Monday in response to an Israeli request that it condemn the Houthi attacks and Iran for supplying them with weapons.THIAROYE-SUR-MER, Senegal — Biram Senghor regularly goes to pay his respects at a military cemetery in Thiaroye, a fishing village near Senegal’s capital Dakar, bowing in front of a different grave each time. The 86-year-old has no way of knowing which grave belongs to his father, M’Bap Senghor, one of likely hundreds of West African riflemen who fought for France during World War II but were killed on Dec. 1, 1944 by the French army after demanding unpaid wages. In this cemetery where they are supposedly buried, all the graves are anonymous and the exact location of the remains is unknown, as is the number of victims. The true scale and circumstances of the killings remain unclear as Senegal commemorates the 80th anniversary of the massacre on Sunday, threatening to reignite smoldering tensions between France and the former colony. “I have been fighting to get answers for over 80 years,” said Biram Senghor. “(French President Emmanuel) Macron cannot do what the other French presidents before him did; France has to repent.” The West Africans were members of the unit called “Tirailleurs Sénégalais,” a corps of colonial infantry in the French Army that fought in both World Wars. According to historians, there were disputes over unpaid wages in the days before the massacre and on Dec. 1, French troops turned on the unarmed African soldiers and shot them dead.

Reports by the French military shortly after the massacre determined that 35 West African soldiers were killed in response to a “mutiny.” Other reports by the French army mention 70 deaths. But today, many French and Senegalese historians agree the true death toll is likely in the hundreds, with some speaking of almost 400 soldiers killed, based on estimates of the number of riflemen present at the camp on the day of the massacre.

Credit: AP/Sylvain Cherkaoui On Thursday, Macron officially recognized the events of Thiaroye as a massacre for the first time in a letter to Senegal’s President Diomaye Faye, which was seen by The Associated Press. “France must recognize that on that day, the confrontation between soldiers and riflemen who demanded their full legitimate wages be paid, triggered a chain of events that resulted in a massacre,” read Macron’s letter. But many historians dispute the idea of a confrontation between the French soldiers and the riflemen. “What happened on December 1st was the execution of unarmed soldiers,” said Martin Mourre, a French historian and author of Thiaroye 1944, History and Memory of a Colonial Massacre. A student points at a poster marking the 80th anniversary of the Thiaroye massacre in Thiaroye, Senegal, Thursday, Nov. 28, 2024. Credit: AP/Sylvain Cherkaoui He points to the fact that no weapons were mentioned during the trial of the African riflemen accused of mutiny and the absence of any injuries among the French soldiers as evidence that no confrontation took place. In his letter to the Senegalese president, Macron did not mention the number of soldiers killed. The controversies and unknowns about the massacre are in part due to a lack of transparency by French authorities regarding the military reports and testimonies. In 2014, French President Francois Hollande handed over the European nation’s archives on Thiaroye to Macky Sall, then-president of Senegal. But historians say that key documents, including ones indicating the site of the mass graves and the number of West African soldiers present at the camp on the day of the massacre, are still missing. It is unclear if France holds such archives or if they even exist. Macron’s office and the French foreign ministry did not respond to requests for comment. Additionally, very little was done by the Senegalese authorities under former president Sall to allow historians to delve into the historical documents. “The archives remained inaccessible until this year, for obscure reasons,” says Mourre. Mamadou Diouf, a Senegalese historian who heads the commemoration committee for the Thiaroye massacre this year, says Sall did not show much interest in the subject in order to avoid diplomatic tensions with France. But Senegal’s President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, who was elected in March in part on a promise of redefining Senegal’s relationship with the former colonizer, has vowed to regain control of the historical narrative on Thiaroye. His administration has organized major commemorations of the massacre from Dec. 1 to April 2025 across the country. “The authorities' goal behind the major commemorations is to make Thiaroye part of Senegal’s national story,” said Babacar Ndiaye, political analyst at the Wathi think tank, which focuses on political and economic issues in West Africa. “It will be talked about a lot on television, in the press and most importantly on social media,” he adds. “This will reach a younger audience who might know little about the events of Thiaroye.” The 80th anniversary of the massacre comes as France’s influence is declining in the region, with Paris losing its sway in its former West African colonies. French troops have been ousted in recent years from Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso after years of fighting Islamic extremists alongside regional troops. Earlier this week, Chad, one of the last countries in the region in which France had maintained a large military presence, ended a military cooperation agreement with Paris. France still has around 350 troops in Senegal, mainly in a supportive role. Asked about their continued presence, Faye suggested it is not be something the Senegalese would want. “Historically, France enslaved, colonized and stayed here,” he said. “Obviously, I think that when you reverse the roles a little, you will have a hard time conceiving that another army — of China, Russia, Senegal, or any other country — could have a military base in France.”

The Florida Panthers are at a crossroads right now. They are in the midst of a five-game stretch where they are 1-4-0. Florida is not playing very good hockey, according to Panthers Head Coach Paul Maurice. "It wasn't the game, it's bigger," Maurice said Thursday. "This is five-game block we've played one way, and that's not good enough for us." After losing two home games to the New Jersey Devils and splitting a home and home with the Winnipeg Jets, the Panthers dropped a 3-1 decision to the Chicago Blackhawks Thursday night. The good news is they get to come back to Sunrise for a three-game homestand which begins Saturday night against the Colorado Avalanche. The bad news is that they'll be facing three very good hockey teams. Florida will face the Avalanche, the Washington Capitals and the Toronto Maple Leafs at Amerant Bank Arena before taking to the road again. These three games are very important and they must pick up points. The Panthers are one-point behind the Maple Leafs, who they'll face Wednesday, in the Atlantic Division standings. Florida is currently 12-7-1, while the Maple Leafs are 12-6-2. There are still plenty of games left for the Panthers to turn things back around. The lone goal by the Panthers was scored by none other than Sam Reinhart, who is tied for the NHL lead with 15 goals. Reinhart is also fourth in the league with 30 points. His point streak has now reached 12 games, with Reinhart accumulating 10 goals and 18 points during the run. Florida captain Sasha Barkov was held off the scoresheet in Chicago, bringing his point streak to an end at nine games after he'd racked up three goals and 17 points.( MENAFN - Jordan Times) LONDON - There has been much talk lately of a return to 1970s economic conditions. Here in the United Kingdom, year-on-year inflation reached 9.1 per cent in May, and disruptive labour strikes are dominating the headlines. But is a 1970s-style Economy really in the offing? Much will depend on what happens with wage settlements and monetary and fiscal policy. And there are of course several global forces to consider, including COVID-19, China's uncertain economic outlook, Russia's war in Ukraine, and the parlous state of global economic and Political governance generally. With workers demanding higher wages, long-term inflation expectations have become a central issue. In early June, the University of Michigan's closely watched inflation-expectations survey showed that respondents' expectations of inflation over the next five years had risen sharply from 3 per cent to 3.3 per cent. This is worrisome, and it is a blow to those (like me) who have been arguing that the evidence for the medium- to long-term picture is still rather mixed. Other surveys (outside of financial markets) had suggested that the recent spikes in energy, food, and consumer prices were one-off events, rather than signs of genuine inflation. But now, there is a greater risk that inflation expectations are indeed becoming unanchored. That puts the US Federal Reserve and other central banks in a difficult position, because they simply cannot allow this trend to become entrenched. If they did, we really would be heading back to the dark days of five decades ago. The tone of the Bank of England's minutes following its recent 25-basis-point interest-rate hike was notably more hawkish than it had been previously, pointing to more big policy-rate increases in the coming weeks and months. In this context, wage negotiations have become a decisive factor in the economic outlook. Given the heightened risk of a wage-price spiral, I think the British government is right to take a tough line with the main rail workers union. A strong message must be sent to the public and the media. While 8-9 per cent inflation represents a large hit to disposable incomes, it is driven largely by energy- and food-price spikes that eventually will be resolved. If we want inflation to return to the low levels of the previous 20-plus years, the last thing we need is a massive permanent increase in public-sector pay settlements (unless they can be justified by equally massive increases in productivity). Moreover, the additional pressure on public-sector finances would be even more severe than in the past, further complicating difficult debates about the appropriate level of taxation relative to public spending. I write this as a champion of concepts like“profit with purpose”, and as the vice chair of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership and the chair of Northern Gritstone. For now, policymakers need to be allowed to get inflation - especially long-term inflation expectations - under control. To that end, there are three elements to an effective response. First, governments must allow their central banks to do what they need to do to rein in prices. Second, politicians must stop creating the impression that governments have a magic money tree that they can shake to solve every problem that arises. If a government wants to show that it is being proactive, it should introduce a properly considered framework for its fiscal policy. A good example is former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown's famous“Golden Rule”, which allowed the public sector to borrow only to pay for capital investment, whereas current spending had to be financed by taxes and other revenues. A revised version of this is desperately needed now to ensure that public-sector investment spending is not only protected but encouraged. Third, and on a related note, governments must become more serious about long-term investment spending in general, especially as it relates to“levelling up” left-behind regions. Policymakers should tell businesses to forget about tax cuts unless they can marshal evidence to show that such measures will boost productivity. Decades of corporate-tax cuts do not appear to have boosted business investment and productivity in any meaningful way. The better approach is to support risk-taking businesses and industries (such as venture capital) in underdeveloped regions, and to be bolder about regulating sophisticated balance-sheet management techniques such as share buybacks - perhaps allowing them only when there is real evidence of productivity improvements. At the same time, political leaders need to explain to the public - especially the millions of lower-income workers - why it is in everyone's interest to accept some real (inflation-adjusted) income setbacks as part of the process of reining in inflation. Without price stability or productivity improvements, generous wage, fiscal, or monetary policies will be economically unsustainable. They will represent nothing but false promises.

Adam Pemble, an Associated Press video journalist who covered some of the biggest global news of the past two decades, from earthquakes and conflicts to political summits and elections, has died. He was 52. Pemble died Thursday in Minneapolis surrounded by friends and family, according to his friend Mike Moe, who helped care for him in the final weeks of his fight against cancer. Known for bringing stories alive with his camera, Pemble epitomized the best of television news traditions, casting a curious and compassionate lens onto the lives of the people and communities whose stories he told. He joined the AP in 2007 in New York before moving to Prague in 2011 to help launch AP’s first cross-format operation combining photography, text stories and video. He enhanced Eastern European news coverage, creating distinctive stories highlighting the region’s culture and society. “Adam was an incredibly talented and passionate journalist and an empathetic storyteller. He had this amazing ability to get anyone to talk to him on camera, which I attribute to the Midwestern charm he embodied throughout his life.” said Sara Gillesby, AP’s Director of Global Video and Pemble’s former manager in New York when he joined the AP. “He was the best of us.” Pemble was born in Saint Louis Park, Minnesota, in 1972 and grew up in Minneapolis. After graduating with a degree in mass communications from Minnesota State University Moorhead, he started his journalism career in 1997 at KVLY, a television station in Fargo, North Dakota, and later worked at WCCO in Minneapolis. “He had the skills of the old-school camera people to meet a deadline and turn a beautiful story,” said Arthur Phillips, a cameraman who worked with Pemble at WCCO. “But he had a calling for greater things.” Moving to New York, Pemble covered some of the biggest stories in the city, including the trial of Bernie Madoff, interviews with former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and with then-real estate developer, now U.S. president-elect, Donald Trump. He went to Haiti to cover the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, where he captured shocking images of devastation. A few weeks later he was in Vancouver, covering the Winter Olympics. With his transfer to Prague, Pemble quickly became the go-to video journalist deployed to the biggest news events in Europe, interviewing government leaders, covering violent protests, the aftermath of terror attacks and numerous national elections across the continent. “An inquiring mind, a keen eye and a healthy skepticism for those in power who tried to spin away from the truth all combined to make Adam’s stories as rich in colour as he was in character,” said Sandy MacIntyre, former AP head of global video. “Time and again he was asked to do the impossible and without fail he delivered the exceptional.” ”But more than all of that, he was the colleague and friend you wanted by your side because if Adam was there we knew we were going to be the winning team.” As civil unrest rocked Ukraine in 2014, Pemble reported from Kyiv and later Donetsk, where he covered the first Russian-backed demonstrations before spending weeks in Crimea during Russia’s annexation of the strategic peninsula. His video reports included the last remaining Ukrainian sailors loyal to Kyiv, who had finally abandoned their ship and came ashore. With the Russian national anthem playing from a car in the background, his final shot showed two distraught sailors heckled as they walked away. Pemble returned to Ukraine following Russia’s invasion of the country in 2022. Among his many assignments was March 2023 AP interview by Executive Editor Julie Pace with across Ukraine to cities near some of the fiercest fighting. “Adam showed up to every assignment with enthusiasm, creativity and commitment to his work and his colleagues. He loved what he did, and so many of us at AP are better for having worked alongside him,” Pace said. When not deployed overseas, set his camera’s gaze on his new home in the Czech Republic, offering insight into the traditions and unique stories of Eastern Europe. From Christmas carp fishing at sunrise to graffiti artists in Prague to the intimate story of a Slovak priest challenging the celibacy rules of the Catholic Church, he brought his unmistakable style. He worked with a traditional large broadcast camera in an era where many video shooters shifted to smaller, lighter cameras. He always put himself in the right place to let reality unfold like “an old school analog painter in an often fast and furious digital age,” former AP cameraman Ben Jary recalled. Pemble’s interest in visual storytelling led to experimenting with new technologies, including aerial videography. In 2015, he was the first major news agency camera operator to film live drone footage when reporting on the migration crisis in the Balkans. An avid gardener who planted trees and chilis on his rooftop in Prague, he was adventurous in the kitchen and especially proud of his vegan “meatloaf,” friends said. He loved a seedy dive bar as much as a Michelin restaurant and foods as varied as charcoal choux pastry with truffle creme and his favourite road trip junk food, Slim Jim’s jerky and Salted Nut Rolls. Pemble’s wit, wisdom, energy and positivity enriched the lives and experiences of those around him, friends and colleagues recalled. “If someone asked me to see a picture of quiet strength and courage, dignity and grace, and most of all kindness, I would show them a picture of a man for all seasons,” said Dan Huff, a Washington-based AP video journalist, “I would show them a picture of Adam Pemble.”United States of America has the world's oldest democracy but the country is yet to get a female President.

Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., don't agree on much. Yet, recently the ideological adversaries found some common ground on a political question that has quietly endured over nearly two decades. Yes, a woman can win the White House, they agree. But she's probably going to be conservative, NYT News Service reported. "Are there women out there, governors, Republican, Democrat, that can be the next president of the United States? Absolutely," Graham said in an interview on Capitol Hill this month. "If you have a Republican female nominee, they would have a good shot of being the first woman president."

"But I think a woman can be elected president. I do." Their similar predictions are the latest in a conversation that has frustrated and foiled two generations of female candidates. For Democrats still scarred by Hillary Clinton 's loss to Donald Trump in 2016, Vice President Kamala Harris ' defeat at the hands of the same man in November has only deepened anxieties over gender bias and prompted a fresh round of debate over the electability of women to the nation's highest office. For decades, advocates for female political leaders argued that if more women ran for president, their presence in American politics would become normalized and one would eventually win the White House. Since Clinton's first attempt to break what she called "that highest, hardest glass ceiling" in 2008, nine other women have vied for a major party's nomination. Those candidates have been conservative and liberal, racially diverse, and from big cities, small towns and across the country. Some campaigned on an economic message, others focused on social issues. Only two -- Clinton and Harris, both Democrats -- captured their party's nomination. As they process the second defeat of a female nominee, Democrats are divided over the question of how much Harris' gender actually contributed to her loss, making it hard to divine what exactly that could mean for their party in 2028. Two weeks before Election Day, Harris openly dismissed concerns that sexism could hurt her chances, saying in an interview with NBC News that the country was "absolutely" ready to elect a female president.
