Guterres: ‘Let us build bridges between the faiths’

According to António Guterres, the hateful attacks are being directed at some, “simply because of their religion or belief, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation.”

The UN chief’s message was broadcast during a virtual panel discussion with Member States, religious leaders, faith actors and civil society representatives, organized by the UN Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) in partnership with the Permanent Missions of Egypt and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). 

The designation of 4 February as the International Day of Human Fraternity is the result of a UN General Assembly resolution adopted in December 2020, as a way to promote greater cultural and religious tolerance.

Baptism Ceremony at the Tigris River, under the framework of UNAMI’s Interfaith Dialogue initiative.

Opportunity

Celebrating the date for the second time, the UN chief said it should be an opportunity to reflect on the importance of cultural and religious understanding, and mutual respect. 

“I am grateful to religious leaders across the world who are joining hands to promote dialogue and interfaith harmony”, Mr. Guterres said. 

The Secretary-General also highlighted the declaration, Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together, co-authored by the spiritual leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis, and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Egyptian Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmed Al-Tayeb, calling it “a model for compassion and human solidarity.”

“We need this spirit more than ever”, he declared.

Appeal

From deepening poverty and widening inequalities, to conflict, division, and mistrust, Mr. Guterres said that “our human family faces a cascade of challenges.” 

“To confront them, we need to challenge those who exploit differences, traffic in hate, and instill fear of ‘the other’ in anxious hearts”, he continued. 

Mr. Guterres believes “these heinous acts are violations of human rights and affronts to the values of the United Nations.”

A bonfire, gas station coffee and friendship warm the hearts of winter paddlers

An eagle takes flight as Curtis Casto and I paddle down the Mohican River on a January morning. It was one of about three dozen we saw on our three-day trip.

An eagle takes flight as Curtis Casto and I paddle down the Mohican River on a January morning. It was one of about three dozen we saw on our three-day trip.

Note: This story has been updated to correct an error. See correction at bottom.

Can’t say we didn’t get a warm welcome at our Eagles Nest campsite. Our hostess, Rose Mickley, invited us to incinerate the burn pile at night and treated us to gas station coffee the next morning.

Warm welcomes are much appreciated on winter canoe trips.

PREVIOUS COLUMN: Irv Oslin: Nothing quite says morning like hot coffee and a cold wetsuit

As mentioned in a previous column, this trip was well-scripted, with overnight stops planned at properties of friends I’ve made along the Mohican River. When I contacted Rose to get permission to camp there — a place dubbed Eagles Nest — she said she might even bring down some coffee.

Better yet, she mentioned that Curtis Casto and I would be expected to burn an accumulation of wood there.

After a delightful day on the river — with plenty of eagle sightings — Curtis and I landed at Eagles Nest, pitched camp and cooked supper on my tripod grill. Rose stopped down, saw the small fire and questioned our manhood.

“I knew I’d come down here and you guys would have a little sissy fire,” she said.

Or something to that effect.

I assured her that, after supper, we’d muster up some testosterone and burn a lot more wood. We managed to do a fair job of it….

Duck Hunters Rescued from Nanticoke River

SEAFORD, Del. – A group of duck hunters are recovering after they found themselves stuck in the middle of the Nanticoke River in Seaford. First responders from multiple agencies responded to the incident that sent one person to the hospital.

The Seaford Volunteer Fire Department says four young men were out duck hunting Monday morning when they got stuck in ice. One person was taken to the hospital and the others were not injured.

The four young hunters called the Seaford Fire Department, once they realized they were stuck in the marsh. Two men were on the boat and the other two were on the duck blind.

“The rescue boats from Blades and Seaford were able to make way to guys on the river doing some duck hunting, and they were able to assist in pulling the boat to the Seaford boat ramp,” said Seaford Volunteer Fire Department Assistant Chief, Jason Hudson.

First responders were called to the scene at 8:50 a.m. and the entire rescue was complete by 10:18 a.m.

“This is kind of rare, and the weather is kind of rare also, so we don’t get a lot of this, but we do have the gear and equipment to make those types of rescues,” said Ron Marvel, public information officer from the Seaford Volunteer Fire Department.

Seaford, Blades, Laurel and Sharptown were involved with the rescue as well as helicopters from Delaware State Police.

“Department of Natural Resources was able to make it on foot, make access to the duck blind, where there were also two subjects that they assisted in getting to safety. It sounded like they used some shorelines to make it a safe manner to get them up to the ground,” said Hudson.

Everyone made it out of the water safely, and the hunter who went to the hospital is expected to be…

UN in Iraq calls for dialogue following attack; civilian casualties reported

According to news reports, Turkish warplanes struck suspected Kurdish insurgent positions in Iraq and Syria early on Wednesday, killing at least four people. 

In a post on Twitter, UNAMI reiterated that “local populations must be protected” and “disputes should be addressed through dialogue and cooperation.”

Explosives on the ground

In the meantime, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said on Wednesday that four children - three boys and a girl – have died, and two have been maimed over the past week, due to explosive devices left behind by combatants. 

The incidents occurred in Babel province and the capital, Baghdad, while children were simply carrying out daily chores, such as collecting wood.

According to the agency, these are not isolated incidents.

Over the last year, 125 children were killed or maimed by explosive remnants of war (ERW) and unexploded ordnance; 52 lost their lives, and 73 were seriously injured.

UNICEF says stronger efforts are needed to reduce the harm they cause, especially to curious boys, as the number of child casualties grew 67 per centcompared to the previous year. 

More efforts

Hamilton Township – Atlantic County

Back on April 22, 2021, we shared important information about Hamilton Township and the Lake Lenape Dam.

Here’s a link to refresh your memory about this important public issue.

Read More: You Can Help Hamilton Township Win Lake Lenape Repair Grant

There is an important, new development that we want to update you about.

The Atlantic County Department of Regional Planning, in collaboration with Hamilton Township, will hold a public information meeting on Tuesday, February 8, 2022.

The purpose of the meeting is to review the Lake Lenape Dam Rehabilitation and Spillway Reconstruction project.

The meeting is taking place at the Hamilton Township Municipal Building, 6101 Thirteenth Street, Mays Landing, New Jersey 08330.

Atlantic County’s design consultant will be making two presentations at 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.

The public will be able to pose questions at each of the public meetings noted above. The program ends at 7:30 PM.

The history of this dam is fascinating, dating back to the mid-1800’s. It closed in 1940.

Hamilton Township took ownership of the dam in 1978. The County of Atlantic became a part-owner several years later in order to directly assist Hamilton Township financially.

The project includes improvements to the dam’s powerhouse, along with the overall rehabilitation of the aging dam.

Atlantic County and Hamilton Township are working with the Department of NJ Dam Safety, NJDEP, the State Historic Preservation Office, NJ Pinelands Commission, and others to assist with moving this project to ultimate completion.

The important information below was prepared by The County of Atlantic as follows:

Those interested may participate in-person (face masks required) or remotely by phone at 1-347-991-6404, Access Code 818 252 992, or by joining from a computer, tablet, or smartphone at www.townshiphamilton.com/live-meeting (speakers and microphone required, camera optional).

Anyone who is interested but lacks the ability to participate may contact Douglas DiMeo at dimeo_douglas@aclink.org or by calling…
