For the third New Year’s Day in a row, residents of Huron County will start the new year with a chilly dip in Lake Huron. “Well, they tell me it's fun. I've yet to find the fun in the Polar Plunge going in myself, but it is a community event – and as a family event, we see families coming out and bringing their kids and everybody going in together,” said Huron Polar Plunge co-organizer Patrick Armstrong. Armstrong came up with the idea for the Huron Polar Plunge to help raise money and awareness for the Huron and Area Search and Rescue Team (HASAR). He brought the Alzheimer’s Society of Huron-Perth to benefit from funds raised as well – and this year they will not only be helping to organize the event, but will be putting in a team of ‘chilly dippers’ for the first time. Members of HASAR (Huron and Area Search and Rescue) and the Huron-Perth Alzheimer’s Society meet in Bayfield to discuss the upcoming Polar Plunge, December 10, 2024 (Scott Miller/CTV News London) “I am completely flabbergasted that I have chosen to do this,” said Erin Dale, Fund Development and Communications Manager with the Huron-Perth Alzheimer’s Society. $20,000 was split between HASAR and Huron-Perth Alzheimer’s Society from last year’s Polar Plunge proceeds. Nearly 100 people participated in the Polar Plunge, organized by HASAR and the Alzheimer’s Society, on January 1, 2024, in Goderich (Scott Miller/CTV News London) “The first year we had less than 30 people, and then it jumped to around 100 people last year – and so we're hoping for even more. There's over ten teams signed up already, so the more the merrier,” said Dale. HASAR is a team of professionally trained volunteers who can be called into to assist police and fire, with things like missing persons, or high angle rope rescue, or cold water/ice rescue. Our own Scott Miller got a taste of what some of the cold-water training might look like, by donning a dry suit and wading into the chilly waters of Lake Huron on Tuesday. He survived and found a greater appreciation for the HASAR volunteers who wear drysuits on New Year’s Day, to ensure all the ‘polar plungers’ have an exhilarating, and safe kick off to 2025. CTV News reporter, Scott Miller enters the chilly waters of Lake Huron near Bayfield in a rescue dry suit provided by HASAR (Huron and Area Search and Rescue), December 10, 2024 (Scott Miller/CTV News London) “I know people historically have this view of everybody running in from the beach. We take safety very seriously. So it's a kind of an orchestrated event: you show up, you go in the water with your family, but our rescuers are actually in the water the whole time. So, we're aware of everybody who goes in to make sure that everybody that goes in, comes back out,” said HASAR leader Armstrong. The Huron Polar Plunge is happening January 1, 2025, at the Maitland Marina Boat Ramp in Goderich, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. You can learn more here.

Newmont Corp. stock rises Wednesday, outperforms marketAtalanta tops Serie A after late win over AC Milan while Inter goes 13 games unbeatenTelly host Jeff Stelling was asked for a selfie - by a local man halfway up the highest mountain in Africa. The ex-Soccer Saturday frontman was on a fundraising climb up Kilimanjaro when he was stunned to learn he had fans in the remote region. Jeff and a group of pals - who raised more than £100,000 for charity - had been accompanied by two guides and helpers known as Rafiki. He said: "I had also learnt that Soccer Saturday was popular in the most unlikely places. "Halfway up Kilimanjaro, one of the Rafiki, Samuel, had approached me quite shyly and asked for his photo to be taken with me. "His friend apparently owned one of the biggest satellite dishes in Tanzania and they could receive Sky Sports. He and his mates regularly watched the show. "It’s the first and only time I have been asked for a selfie halfway up an African mountain. I am not sure whether Sky’s investigation units tracking illegal viewing have quite reached as far as Moshi yet, though I wouldn’t be too surprised!" In his new autobiography Saturday Afternoon Fever, Jeff also said he is still tortured by fans shouting at him in the street even though he left the show last year. He revealed: "In the time since I have left Sky I still hear the cries of 'Unbelievable Jeff!' from passers-by and black-cab drivers. "But often it is now accompanied with 'It isn’t the same anymore, Jeff'. That saddens me as that was never my intention when I left Soccer Saturday.” Jeff, 69, also admitted that some punters get him mixed up with other sports presenters. He added: "I have been mistaken for many people. Usually Geoff Shreeves or Richard Keys. I don’t mind the former, not so keen on being called the latter! "I was once misidentified as Trevor Brooking.

45 Medical Laboratory Science students of Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin, Kwara State were Tuesday inducted into the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN.) The third set to be inducted since the inception of the school in 2004, was also issued with a provisional licence of practice. According to the Head of Department (HOD) MLS, Professor Shola Babatunde, of the 45 inductees presented for the final professional MLSCN examination, “32 emerged with Second-Class honours (Upper Division) and 13 with Second-Class honours (Lower Division.) The disclosure was made at the Oath-Taking/Induction ceremony of the students at the school’s auditorium in Adeta, Ilorin. The HOD hinted that the provisional licence was to enable the inductees to proceed to the one-year mandatory internship programme. He charged the students to: “employ integrity, honesty, diligence, and perseverance. Let the knowledge you have acquired from this great university serve as an instrument to serve humanity, not to exploit it.” Also speaking, the Dean, faculty of health sciences, Prof. Olabode Kayode commended the Vice-Chancellor (VC) of the school, Prof. Noah Yusuf and the entire management for providing the enabling environment for both the teachers and the students to succeed. He charged the new inductees not to forget the department and the school, saying: “There are many ways for you to improve the lives and conditions of those you are leaving behind as well as help reposition Al-Hikmah University as one of the best global practices in MLS.” However, the founder and chairman Board of Trustees (BoT) of the school, Dr. AbdulRaheem Oladimeji, who donated N2 million to the MLS department, urged the inductees to act within the confine of their regulatory/professional governing body. Represented by the Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Dr Sikiru Lanre Nurudeen, the founder, said: “it is important to comply with the noble ethics of your profession. I advise you to operate within the benchmarks and standard operating procedures set by your regulatory body.” The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Noah Yusuf appreciated Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for granting the school the leave to use the state’s general hospital, Sobi, as the school’s Teaching Hospital, which he said had elevated the school’s status. He commended the parents for their undying love for their children, describing their love and affection for the inductees as unequal and unmatchable. Speaking on the theme: innovation and technology in medical Laboratory Science Practice: Prospects and challenges,” the keynote Speaker, Prof. Abdulrazaq Nuhu, the Dean, Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, Kwara State University Malete, urged the inductees to leverage the Artificial Intelligence (AI) in their professional routine disposition.

Unrivaled signs LSU star Flau'jae Johnson to NIL dealNone

PARIS — Howling winds couldn’t stop Notre Dame’s heart from beating again. With three resounding knocks on its doors by Paris Archbishop Laurent Ulrich, wielding a crosier carved from fire-scorched beams, the cathedral roared back to life Saturday evening. For the first time since a blaze engulfed it in 2019, the towering Gothic masterpiece reopened for worship. Unusually fierce December winds whipping across the Île de la Cité, flanked by the River Seine, forced all the events inside. Yet the occasion lost none of its splendor. Inside the nave, choirs sang psalms, and the cathedral’s mighty organ thundered back to life in a triumphant interplay of melodies. The evening’s celebration, attended by 1,500 dignitaries, including President-elect Donald Trump , Britain’s Prince William and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, underscored Notre Dame’s role as spiritual and cultural beacon. For President Emmanuel Macron, who championed the ambitious restoration timeline, it was a rare moment of unity amid profound political crises and threats to his presidential legacy. Amid global unrest, with wars raging in Ukraine and the Middle East , the cathedral’s resurrection emerged as a symbol of resilience and unity. “Notre Dame is not just a French monument — it is a magnificent sign of hope,” said its rector, the Rev. Olivier Ribadeau Dumas. “What seemed impossible has become possible.” Ukrainian pastor Andriy Morkvas, attending his first Mass at Notre Dame in more than a decade, found hope in the cathedral’s rebirth. “God is powerful; he can change things,” he said. “I hope Notre Dame and Mary will help resolve our conflict.” Guests entered through Notre Dame’s iconic western façade, whose arched portals adorned with biblical carvings were once a visual guide for medieval believers. Above the central Portal of the Last Judgment, the Archangel Michael is depicted weighing souls, as demons attempt to tip the scales. In the restoration, more than 50,000 square yards of stonework — an area equal to six soccer fields — were cleaned, revealing luminous limestone and intricate carvings long cloaked in soot. Above the nave, 2,000 oak beams, nicknamed “the forest,” were used to rebuild the spire and roof, restoring the cathedral’s iconic silhouette. The ceremony began with Ulrich symbolically reopening Notre Dame’s grand wooden doors, tapping them three times with his fire-scarred crosier. A prerecorded concert featured luminaries such as pianist Lang Lang, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and soprano Pretty Yende. Their performances offered a message of harmony, celebrating the cathedral’s role as a sanctuary of faith and art. Personal stories of faith punctuated the evening. Huguette Euphrasie, attending with her cancer-stricken mother, gazed at the cathedral’s illuminated towers. “It has huge spiritual value for me,” she said. “It’s very moving.” For Patricia and Cyrille Brenner, who traveled overnight from Cannes, the reopening felt like a pilgrimage. “The fire was a call to renew our faith,” Cyrille said. For Macron, the reopening offered a rare reprieve from political turmoil. Just days earlier, his government collapsed in a historic no-confidence vote, plunging France into uncertainty. The achievement of restoring Notre Dame within five years — a timeline dismissed as overly ambitious by many — was a political win for Macron. Macron described the reopening as “a jolt of hope.” Security was tight, with police vans and soldiers in body armor patrolling embankments, while a special detail followed President-elect Donald Trump. Public viewing areas along the Seine accommodated 40,000 spectators, who watched the ceremonies unfold on large screens. After the reopening, the cathedral is expected to welcome 15 million visitors annually, up from 12 million before the fire. As the evening drew to a close, the cathedral stood as a testament to what collective will and faith can achieve. “It’s the soul of Paris,” Dumas said. “And tonight, its heart beats again.” Adamson and Leicester write for the Associated Press. AP journalists Sylvie Corbet, Yesica Brumec, Marine Lesprit and Mark Carlson in Paris contributed to this report .
