Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:30:47 GMT

AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — Brad Kemp, Stacey Reinwald and Shannon Fengler have a lot of their grandfather’s war mementos — a shadow box filled with medals, even a piece of fencing from where Leo Greggs was held prisoner of war by the Germans. But the most valuable reminder of his service randomly arrived in the mail a few months ago.“We got this letter in Aurora, Colorado, that had come from France,” Fengler said.The letter came from a woman in northern France. And the story she outlined on its pages surprised the Aurora siblings.“Didn’t really know the full story until the letter comes,” Reinwald said. Loveland veteran, 100, receives French medal for WWII heroics The author of the letter, Frederique Hazebrouck, said she knew about their grandfather, and how he was shot down in a plane called the Taletha Ann on March 26, 1944, in northern France. How did she know? Her own grandfather, Marcel Bellingier, saw it all happen and rushed to help Greggs, giving him food, first aid and shelte...

Listless Bruins thumped in Winnipeg, 5-1

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:30:47 GMT

The Bruins left Boston on Thursday with the feeling that being on the road and away from the holiday distractions of home would help them focus on the task at hand.That was the theory, anyway.The reality was that the B’s played arguably their worst game of the season in Friday against the Winnipeg Jets at Canada Life Centre, dropping a 5-1 decision that was as lopsided as the score indicated.Coach Jim Montgomery was asked what bothered him most about the performance.“Our compete level,” Montgomery told NESN. “We didn’t win enough one-on-one battles and it started in the faceoff circle (43 percent) and just spiraled downhill from there.”The B’s now have to get their act together to face a hot Wild team in St. Paul on Saturday.Though the B’s had been much more competitive in their previous two games, both overtime losses, it was the B’s third straight loss and one that, if it came at a different point in the schedule, might precipi...

Paramedics were convicted in Elijah McClain’s death. That could make other first responders pause

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:30:47 GMT

By COLLEEN SLEVIN and MATTHEW BROWN (Associated Press)BRIGHTON, Colo. (AP) — Two Denver-area paramedics were convicted Friday for giving a fatal overdose of the sedative ketamine to Elijah McClain in 2019 — a jury verdict that experts said could have a chilling effect on first responders around the country.The case involving the 23-year-old Black man’s death was the first among several recent criminal prosecutions against medical first responders to reach trial, potentially setting the bar for prosecutors for future cases.It also was the last of three trials against police and paramedics charged in the death of McClain, who officers stopped following a suspicious person complaint. He was injected with the sedative after being forcibly restrained. The case case received little attention until protests over the 2020 killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.An Aurora police officer was convicted of homicide and third degree assault earlier this year, while two officers ...

‘Pray for us’: Eyewitnesses reveal first clues about a missing boat with up to 200 Rohingya refugees

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:30:47 GMT

PIDIE, Indonesia (AP) — The screams were heard soon after the ailing boat emerged into view. On board were babies and children, alongside mothers and fathers begging to be saved. The passengers were ethnic Rohingya Muslims who had fled surging gang violence and rampant hunger in the refugee camps of Bangladesh, only to find themselves adrift with a broken engine on the Andaman Sea. For a moment, it appeared their salvation had arrived in the form of another boat carrying Rohingya refugees that had pulled up alongside them. But those on board the other boat — itself overloaded and beginning to leak — knew if they allowed the distressed passengers onto their vessel, it would sink and all would die. They wanted to help, but they also wanted to live.Since November, more than 1,500 Rohingya refugees fleeing Bangladesh by boat have landed in Indonesia’s northern province of Aceh — three-quarters of them women and children. On Thursday, Indonesian authorities spotted another five boats app...

Cuban government defends plans to either cut rations or increase prices

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:30:47 GMT

HAVANA (AP) — The Cuban government said Friday it will have to either increase prices for fuel and electricity, or reduce rations for basic supplies. President Miguel Díaz-Canel said such difficult measures were needed for difficult times, after the minister of the economy said Cuba’s economy contracted between 1% and 2% this year, and inflation ran at about 30%. There were problems in the tourism industry — Cuba’s main source of income — and in farm production.“This is a question of complicated measures, as complicated as are these times,” Díaz-Canel said. “I emphatically deny that this is neo-liberal plan against the people, nor a crusade against small businesses, nor an elimination of the basic market basket” that Cubans can get with government coupons.Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz said that because of economic problems, the government will have to raise prices for gasoline, electricity and gas, or reduce the amount of food and other basics contained in governmen...
