Retro: 100 years of Le Mans: Dutch winners Gijs van Lennep and Jan Lammers

Le Mans Lenape 1976 victory

Next week, on 10 and 11 June, will be the 91st edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, celebrating the centenary of the French endurance classic. In the run-up to the race, we take a look at aspects of its rich history. Today: Dutch successes.

Even before the war, the Dutch were Le Mans debutants: Eddy Hertzberger drove there twice, in 1935 and 1937, but it was not until 1971 that a Dutchman stood on the top step of the podium for the first time. That year Gijs van Lennep hired Dr. Helmut Marko in the Porsche 917 of the Martini Racing Team, led by Hans-Dieter Dechante.

Van Lennep’s victory was a resounding motorsport success: the distance record he set together with Marko stood until 2010. With his performance, van Lennep says he silenced even the critics in the Netherlands: “At least they can’t complain about the victory at Le Mans in Holland”, as he is quoted in ‘Auto Review’ magazine. it was done.

The victory was by no means certain: Ferdinand Piëch instructed the winning Porsche’s brake discs to be pierced to save weight and for extra ventilation, but the brake discs began to show hairline cracks during the race. Had the team changed discs, the victory might have…

UNITED NATIONS, May 30 (Xinhua) — The UN Security Council on Tuesday adopted a resolution to extend the mandate of the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) for another year until May 31, 2024, while retaining its core tasks.

Resolution 2682, which won the unanimous support of the 15-member Security Council, requested that the UN secretary-general’s special representative for Iraq and UNAMI prioritize the provision of advice, support and assistance to the government and people of Iraq on advancing inclusive, political dialogue and national and community-level reconciliation.

The council also requested the special representative and UNAMI to further advise and assist the government of Iraq in strengthening electoral preparation and processes to ensure free and fair elections.

Meanwhile, the Security Council requested the special representative and UNAMI to promote, support and facilitate, in coordination with the Iraqi government, the timely, voluntary and dignified return or local integration of internally displaced persons and displaced Iraqis in Syria.

The resolution further requested the UN secretary-general to conduct and provide the Security Council, no later than March 31, 2024, with an independent strategic review of UNAMI, in consultation with the Iraqi government and other sides, assessing current threats to Iraq’s peace and security, as well as the continued relevance of UNAMI’s tasks and priorities.

UNAMI is a political mission established by the Security Council in 2003 at the request of the Iraqi government in the wake of the invasion of Iraq by a U.S.-led coalition. Enditem

Lackawanna County church honors military members

A church in Lackawanna County held a special service Sunday as a marine sergeant shared his story.

CLARKS GREEN, Pa. — While it may have looked like a typical service at the Servant Church of the Abingtons in Clarks Green, many veterans and military families filled the pews for a special sermon ahead of Memorial Day.

Including Gina and Jay Jayne, who met during their time in Germany while in the Army.

“The service is for all veterans, first responders, and it just gives them a feeling of hope,” said Gina Jayne from Newton Township.

The Jaynes planned this church service and invited Sergeant Carlos Evans to give service men and women that feeling of hope.

Sergeant Evans came home from his deployment in Afghanistan without his legs and his left hand after stepping on an IED.

Today, the Marine Corps Chaplin shared what Memorial Day means to him. 

“So it’s very important to bring awareness, especially to the young generation, that the freedom we are enjoying today has a price,”  explained Sergeant Carlos Evans, U.S. Marine Corps.

One of the goals of his sermon was to make sure service men and women feel seen.

“40% are veterans in the community. And they’re amazing because they not only serve their community, but their church and their families, they are so involved,” Gina Jayne added.

Sergeant Evans hopes sharing his near-death experience will encourage other veterans to open up about their stories too.

“There’s purpose in our scars. That we’re not victims of our tears. That we have a purpose, we have opportunity, to look at yourself the way God sees you,” he mentioned.

And help others who may not know someone in the armed forces understands the sacrifices military personnel make.

“Today, I’m touching more people with only one hand…

Fast winners in Tuesday Pocono features – U.S. Trotting News

Fast winners in Tuesday Pocono features

May 30, 2023, by PHHA for Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania

Wilkes-Barre, PA – Ever since the Game Of Claims Series earlier in the spring, the Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania Race Office has been able to keep together multiple divisions of the top claiming handicap trotters, and on Tuesday (May 30) afternoon two $15,500 sections were featured.

The Wheeling N Dealin gelding Diehard Seelster parlayed a pocket trip into a victory for the second straight week in the faster division, gaining into a :28.2 last quarter for driver Marcus Miller to take an easy victory in a 1:54.4 mile, a tick off the lifetime mark he set last week. However, if Diehard Seelster is to run his winning streak to three, he’ll be doing it for different connections, for the horse was claimed from owner Jerry Zollo and trainer Marc Mosher for his $25,000 tag.

In the other division the Muscle Mass gelding Dart Guy came up with the mile of his life, grinding first-over to the lead and holding off the field in a lifetime best of 1:55.3. You don’t often get 20-1 on driver Matt Kakaley at Pocono, but you did here if you backed the Steven Brabrook-trained trotter, owned by Jaypaul Hoover.

There were also four divisions of the $15,000 “nw 4 races” class for the various gaits and sexes. Two of the races were for trotters, and trainer/driver Åke Svanstedt won both with 3-year-old fillies bred on the Continent.

Pure Hope S was certainly impressive in her 2023 debut, making the lead at the quarter and then striding home in :27.3 to…
