As an added painful twist, Ingram's career is for now keeping him far away from the support group of his friends and loved ones. He can't just take a weekend trip to Humboldt to mourn, and the Crunch could potentially be playing several more weeks into the postseason. |
Hockey and teammates have always been important to Ingram, of course. |
But they may never have served as vital a role as they do now. |
Goalie Connor Ingram knew players involved in the fatal bus crash in Saskatchewan. |
Wareham Police came upon an alleged burglary in progress early on Thursday at a Route 6 construction site. |
Police responded to the site of the former Cranberry Cottage restaurant, which is being rebuilt following a fire last year, after receiving a report of suspicious activity at about 4:30 a.m.. |
At the scene, Officer Aaron Pacheco found a man on the site who had driven there in a pickup truck with a concealed license plate. After an investigation, officers determined an attempted breaking and entering had been thwarted. |
Sgt. Daniel Henderson and Officer Peter Silvia assisted in the arrest and investigation. |
Gavin Cowan's outstanding work at AFC Telford United has been rewarded with a new two-year contract. |
The Bucks boss has enjoyed a stunning debut campaign at the New Bucks Head where he has led a push for the National League North play-offs and guided the club to their first FA Trophy semi-final for 10 years. |
Assistant manager Phil Trainer and first-team coach Jamie Haynes also penned new deals. |
A delighted Cowan said: “It is a huge honour for me to be the manager of AFC Telford United. I’d like to thank everyone at the club who has worked tirelessly in making this season a success. |
"To the supporters, thank you for your backing and loyalty, it is our biggest reward. |
"We can now focus on leading this brilliant club forward for the next two years, building on what has been a big season so far and will hopefully bring even bigger rewards over the coming month. |
"A huge thank you must go to my staff and my players who truly deserve the plaudits." |
Cowan was handed his first job in management by the Bucks in May last year and has wasted no time improving the club's fortunes with his side sitting in the last play-off spot in National North with four games remaining. |
Chairman Andy Pryce "Myself and the board of directors are delighted to have extended Gavin’s contract for a further two years. We appointed Gavin 10 months ago with a belief in him and for him to carry through some continuity from the previous season and he has delivered a successful season. |
"This news allows Gavin to build on that continuity and success on the pitch and for us to in turn build on that off the pitch. |
A new event to connect start-ups, co-founders and jobseekers is ready to kick off, with the first UpStarter taking place this evening (16 February) in Dublin. |
Set up by UniTuition founder Sean Judge, the idea is that jobseekers link with tech companies of all sizes, and potential start-ups can find the right co-founders to get off the ground. |
To help with that, a swathe of companies currently hiring will be there, including Bizimply, NewsWhip, Opsh, HubSpot, FlipDish, UniTuition, Elm Solutions, Dynamic Res and Super Pixel. |
“The response to UpStarter has been phenomenal,” said Judge, who has also been named Accenture entrepreneur-in-residence. |
“There’s huge demand from start-ups for help in finding employees and interns for a variety of positions at different levels. |
300 co-founders, developers, marketers, designers and students are set to attend, with this evening’s event already oversubscribed – a follow-up in April is already in the works. |
“One of the reasons that we’ve created an entrepreneur-in-residence for Accenture is so that we can further our support for the start-up community through events like this,” said Eithne Harley, marketing director of Accenture. |
All the companies with stands are hiring for a variety of positions, including operations managers, digital content managers, UI developers, software engineers, project managers and internships. |
In the first part of this interview, my friend Brian Brodersen who leads Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, talked about some of Calvary Chapel's distinctives. These include verse-by-verse preaching, their beliefs on the Person and work of the Holy Spirit, and an eschatological focus. |
I greatly appreciate Brian taking the time for this interview. All the articles in this series are linked at the bottom of this post. Check them out when you have a chance. |
Feel free to drop questions you might have about Calvary Chapel in the comments. If you attend a Calvary Chapel church, feel free to answer. And, remember to follow the commenting rules and, as in all the interviews, we are not having a debate on Calvary Chapel, but asking what they believe and why. |
ES: What do many Evangelicals often misunderstand about your movement? |
BB: One of the most common misunderstandings about Calvary Chapel that I’ve encountered is on the issue of the ministry of the Holy Spirit. It seems that the non-Charismatics think we are Charismatics, and Charismatics think we are non-Charismatic. Or, the Baptists think we are Pentecostals, and the Pentecostals think ... |
Another subject of misunderstanding would be in relation to the Calvinism / Arminianism debate. This is one more area where we seemed to have landed in a bit of a different place from other Evangelicals. We are not Calvinists, yet we enjoy fellowship with and glean much from our Calvinist friends. |
However, we are not Arminians either, and we also enjoy fellowship with and glean from our Arminian friends. What we have sought to do when it comes to the subject of soteriology is to be as biblical as we can. This endeavor has landed us in somewhat of a middle position on the issue. |
As a young pastor in training, I was given my first library by my pastor and father-in-law, Chuck Smith. In it were books by Calvin, Luther, Whitefield, Wesley, Spurgeon, Moody, Griffith-Thomas, Torrey, Lloyd-Jones, Campbell Morgan, Tozer, and other similar Evangelical giants. All of these and others have shaped our un... |
ES:What do you wish Christians knew about your movement? |
BB: I’d like others to know that we are very much a church-planting movement. I’m of the personal conviction that every community on the planet should have a Jesus-loving, Gospel-preaching, Bible-teaching fellowship to be able to plug into. Presently, we have approximately 1,700 churches worldwide. Two hundred of those... |
Church planting has been a personal passion of mine for the past thirty years. |
Many of those we send out have already served in a pastoral role in the home church and have been trained and equipped through that experience. We also use our Bible colleges and School of Ministry to equip men to go out and plant new churches. |
We (Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa) are currently in the process of starting a new Pastor’s School. These men will receive specific training that they might then be sent out to plant churches both nationally and internationally. |
Church planting has been a personal passion of mine for the past thirty years, and that passion is held by many, if not most of the guys, pastoring churches in our movement. |
ES: How does your history impact your practices? |
BB: Our history continues to have a large impact on our practices. Having been birthed (so to speak) in an extraordinary outpouring of God’s Spirit (the Jesus People Revival), we continue to put an emphasis on the things we’ve practiced from the beginning. Evangelism has always been a big part of our ministry, includin... |
Calvary has also been very much a “faith ministry” from the beginning. By faith ministry, I mean that we depend heavily on the Spirit to guide us and to provide all we need to fulfill the ministry He has called us to. Pastor Chuck Smith coined the phrase: “Where God guides, God provides.” This has been a foundational p... |
Calvary has also been very much a “faith ministry” from the beginning. |
Another area where we continue to see our history impact our practice is in the area of music ministry. Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa was the place where much of the “Jesus People Music” originated. |
In the early days of the Jesus People Revival, Pastor Chuck Smith, along with a handful of musically gifted young men who had become part of the fellowship, started a recording company they called Maranatha! Music. The tradition that began then—producing good music that glorifies God and blesses His people—is one that ... |
ES: Why should Christians want to be like you? In other words, make the case for your distinctives. |
BB: I wouldn’t necessarily seek to make the case that other Christians should be like us. Rather, I would appeal to other Christians, especially pastors and leaders, to hold fast to the vital doctrine of the inerrancy and authority of Scripture, to faithfully preach the Gospel and teach the Word, and to do so in the po... |
Last night, in the most expensive U.S. House election ever, Republican Karen Handel beat Democrat Jon Ossoff by 3.8 percentage points, a fairly narrow margin for a seat the GOP won by 23.4 points in November. |
That turnout was high, and that Mr. Ossoff came much closer than previous Democratic contenders says a few things about the U.S. political climate. It shows that U.S. citizens are more civically engaged and apt to vote in special elections, which previously did not attract high turnouts. It shows that both parties are ... |
But what this race could never do is predict the events of November, 2018. And the panic, excitement and blame surrounding Ossoff vs. Handel was about exactly that: seeking a signpost, no matter how faint, for what lies ahead in the midterms. Had Mr. Ossoff squeaked out a win, the Democrats would be crowing about Mr. T... |
That Mr. Ossoff lost is less of a bad sign for the Democrats than that most of Mr. Trump's opponents – be they Democrats, anti-Trump Republicans, or independents – are still trapped in 2016, an era before the Trump administration commenced an ongoing assault on constitutional rights. Using Ossoff vs. Handel as a progno... |
The priority of the Democrats – or anyone who values freedom and fairness – should be combatting voter suppression. It does not matter how great your candidate is if people cannot vote, and it does not matter what their platform is if millions are disenfranchised. It is very likely that they will be. |
Since the U.S. Supreme Court enacted a partial repeal of the Voting Rights Act in June, 2013, many U.S. states have passed new voter ID laws making it more difficult for racial minorities, the poor and the elderly to vote. Voter suppression was so severe in 2016 that it arguably determined the winner in close states su... |
In addition to long-standing GOP tactics such as voter suppression and gerrymandering, the continued threat of Russian interference looms. Last week brought the revelation that the 2016 Russia election cyberattack breached the voting rolls of more than 39 states, and the full extent of the damage has still not been ass... |
On top of that, the Trump administration is taking active measures to further voter suppression, creating a "Voter Fraud Commission" based on Mr. Trump's lie that millions of citizens voted illegally. The commission is led by Kris Kobach, an anti-immigrant zealot who has aggressively peddled this myth and will likely u... |
Every burgeoning autocracy exploits pre-existing injustices. In the United States, race-based voter suppression has long been in play and Russian interference remains an active threat. Given the Trump administration's unwillingness to confront white supremacists and its willingness to rewrite laws, one cannot assume th... |
Tragically, Mr. Ossoff understood this. When asked in a debate to name an issue he wouldn't compromise on, he answered: "voting rights," and cited Mr. Sessions as a threat. This stands in stark contrast to Ms. Handel, whose long record of voter suppression includes voter-ID laws, trying to purge thousands of voters and... |

June Reid Richards Hanson, 85, of Northbrook, formerly of Elmhurst, originally from Gardner, MA, died peacefully at home of chronic illness, Jan. 29, 2009. |
Mrs. Hanson was born Oct. 3, 1923 in Gardner, MA to Viola Reid and Walter Richards. |
She is survived by her three daughters, Karen Bednar, Cris (Joe) Novak and Margaret (Matthew) Monsein; eight grandchildren; six great-grandchildren and one on the way. |
Mrs. Hanson graduated from Leminster Hospital with a diploma in nursing. |
She later joined the Army to serve as a nurse during WWII. After the war, she worked at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital, Rush Presbyterian St. Luke's Hospital, Loyola Medical Center and various private medical practices while raising her family. |
She was a woman of many talents. |
In addition to nursing and raising her family, she enjoyed playing the piano, sewing, knitting, entertaining, gardening, deep sea fishing and volunteer work. |
She will be deeply missed. |
A visitation will be held Sunday, Feb. 1, 2009 from 1 to 4 p.m. atN.H. Scott & Hanekamp Funeral Home, 1240 Waukegan Rd., Glenview (just South of Lake Ave. on West side). Funeral Service will be held on Monday, Feb. 2, 2009 at 10 a.m. at the Northbrook Village Presbyterian Church, 1300 Shermer Rd. (at Cherry Ln.), North... |
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Northbrook Village Presbyterian Church or the Alzheimer's Association, 8430 W. Bryn Mawr, Suite 800, Chicago, IL 60631. |
1) That an officer was not indicted for murdering Eric Garner—black, 43, and detained simply for selling single cigarettes—despite the fact that the killing was recorded from start to finish for all of America to see. |
2) That an officer was not indicted for killing Michael Brown after Brown had stolen from a store, refused the officer’s request to step aside and perhaps tried to grab his gun, with the officer shooting when Brown repeatedly lunged toward him for some reason, with none of this recorded and the details murkily varying ... |
Perfectly sensible people will be wondering why so many people in late 2014 thought of the Ferguson case, in particular, as the civil rights case of the 21st century. Yes, Brown should not have died—I have heartily agreed, repeatedly. But people in the future will see the current focus on Ferguson as evidence of people... |
Are we trying to create a humanity devoid of any racist bias, or are we trying to stop cops from shooting black men? The two aren’t the same. A world without racism would be a world without dirt. A world where episodes like what has happened just this year to Garner, Brown, John Crawford, Akai Gurley, and Tamir Rice is... |
As such, we must be pragmatic. I know the people protesting Michael Brown’s death nationwide are sincere. But it’s easy to forget that in cases like this, sincerity is supposed to be forward-focused. It’s all too human for people to end up mistaking the heightened emotions, the threats, the media attention, the cathars... |
Are we really committed to this thing lasting past the winter? |
If so, then we have to ask ourselves—is Michael Brown more important somehow because he was killed with a gun? Is Garner somehow less worthy of iconic, implacable protest because he was older than Brown, less “glamorous” than a teenager? Is it, in other words, that Brown is more dramatic? |
Because there are other kinds of drama, if we must. For example, Officer Daniel Pantaleo’s statement about Garner is outright tragedy—so disgustingly detached coming from someone’s murderer that it constitutes drama in itself. |
“It is never my intention to harm anyone,” Pantaleo says—as if we were thinking now of “harm,” a formal term you can use to refer to a dent in your car. “I feel very bad about the death of Mr. Garner”—my God, “very bad” sounds like he broke someone’s window with a baseball, and “the death of Mr. Garner” sounds like som... |
This, to me, is an articulate testament to how some whites can be unable to see black people as human—and, especially if cops, be more likely to kill them. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a precious teaching moment. Pantaleo’s statement is, in its way, as useful as Reverend King’s Letter From a Birmingham Jail as a look... |
Yet one hears that however iffy the Ferguson details are, we should just go with it because it has struck a chord. That our message to America is to be “Even when my son steals from a store, refuses a cop’s order and tries to take his gun, he shouldn’t get shot.” And he shouldn’t, but wow, what a delicate and hopelessl... |
How about this, as a story we can tell the next generation without taking a deep breath and thinking about how to paper over the holes? |
Here is where I am quite sure Reverend King and Bayard Rustin would be planning not just statements and gestures, but boycotts. The recording of Garner’s death has the clear, potent and inarguable authority of the Birmingham newsreels. We must use that. Yes, use—we are trying to create change, not just perform. |
Hope you had a great holy weekend, and that you were the April fooler, not the fool. |

At his confirmation hearing for Secretary of State, CIA Director Mike Pompeo will vow to rebuild Foggy Bottom — implicitly conceding shortcomings by his predecessor, Rex Tillerson. |
In several meetings Pompeo has attended at State, he started sending the message that he wants to rebuild the relationship between the secretary's seventh-floor office and the rank and file. |
In the other big spring fight that'll consume both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, look for Democrats to aggressively challenge Deputy CIA Director Gina Haspel in her confirmation hearing to succeed Pompeo. |
Dems plan to push Haspel, who in 33 years with the agency has served as station chief in world danger spots, on her involvement in past interrogation programs denounced as torture. |
Dems will also try to extract the declassification of new documents about "black sites." |
The big picture: Dems plan to use these hearings to uncork numerous frustrations with President Trump and his administration — including/especially questions about Russia, and objections to incoming national security adviser John Bolton, who isn’t subject to confirmation. |
Pompeo’s hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hasn’t been announced, but sources expect it April 12. |
Remember: 15 Senate Dems supported Pompeo's nomination for CIA director, making it harder for them to turn on him now. |
Haspel’s hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee will take longer to set because she’s not currently in the cabinet, giving Pompeo a head start on disclosures and background checks. But the White House will push for a quick hearing. |
One Republican, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, has already announced he'll oppose both nominations: "President Trump sought to break with the foreign policy mistakes of the last two administrations. Yet now he picks ... people who embody them, defend them, and, I’m afraid, will repeat them." |
Look for Pompeo to emphasize the diplomatic elements of his current job, including intense, difficult conversations around the world. |
The White House expects Haspel to be a strong witness, and think Dems could overplay their hands in attacking her. |
Don Jr., a favorite of outdoors enthusiasts, was a draw in 2016. Now Republicans are betting (hoping?) that he'll be equally effective for the midterms. |
The president's eldest son will focus on helping members who would benefit from his involvement and have been helpful to POTUS and his agenda. |
