DALLAS — More than 60 years after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, conspiracy theories still swirl and any new glimpse into the fateful day of Nov. 22, 1963, in Dallas continues to fascinate. President-elect Donald Trump promised during his reelection campaign that he would declassify all of the remaining government records surrounding the assassination if he returned to office. He made a similar pledge during his first term, but ultimately bended to appeals from the CIA and FBI to keep some documents withheld. At this point, only a few thousand of the millions of governmental records related to the assassination have yet to be fully released, and those who have studied the records released so far say that even if the remaining files are declassified, the public shouldn't anticipate any earth-shattering revelations. “Anybody waiting for a smoking gun that’s going to turn this case upside down will be sorely disappointed,” said Gerald Posner, author of “Case Closed,” which concludes that assassin Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Friday's 61st anniversary is expected to be marked with a moment of silence at 12:30 p.m. in Dealey Plaza, where Kennedy's motorcade was passing through when he was fatally shot. And throughout this week there have been events marking the anniversary. When Air Force One carrying Kennedy and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy touched down in Dallas, they were greeted by a clear sky and enthusiastic crowds. With a reelection campaign on the horizon the next year, they had gone to Texas on political fence-mending trip. But as the motorcade was finishing its parade route downtown, shots rang out from the Texas School Book Depository building. Police arrested 24-year-old Oswald and, two days later, nightclub owner Jack Ruby fatally shot Oswald during a jail transfer. A year after the assassination, the Warren Commission, which President Lyndon B. Johnson established to investigate the assassination, concluded that Oswald acted alone and there was no evidence of a conspiracy. But that hasn't quelled a web of alternative theories over the decades. In the early 1990s, the federal government mandated that all assassination-related documents be housed in a single collection in the National Archives and Records Administration. The collection of over 5 million records was required to be opened by 2017, barring any exemptions designated by the president. Trump, who took office for his first term in 2017, had boasted that he'd allow the release of all of the remaining records but ended up holding some back because of what he called the potential harm to national security. And while files have continued to be released during President Joe Biden's administration, some still remain unseen. The documents released over the last few years offer details on the way intelligence services operated at the time, and include CIA cables and memos discussing visits by Oswald to the Soviet and Cuban embassies during a trip to Mexico City just weeks before the assassination. The former Marine had previously defected to the Soviet Union before returning home to Texas. Mark S. Zaid, a national security attorney in Washington, said what's been released so far has contributed to the understanding of the time period, giving “a great picture” of what was happening during the Cold War and the activities of the CIA. Posner estimates that there are still about 3,000 to 4,000 documents in the collection that haven’t yet been fully released. Of those documents, some are still completely redacted while others just have small redactions, like someone's Social Security number. There are about 500 documents where all the information is redacted, Posner said, and those include Oswald's and Ruby’s tax returns. “If you have been following it, as I have and others have, you sort of are zeroed in on the pages you think might provide some additional information for history,” Posner said. Trump's transition team hasn’t responded to questions this week about his plans when he takes office.

It is crucial for individuals considering such procedures to understand that these treatments involve intervention in the body, and therefore should be approached with the same seriousness as any other medical procedure. Medical professionals performing aesthetic treatments must prioritize patient safety above all else, ensuring that the procedure is suitable for the individual's health status and that all necessary precautions are taken to minimize risks.

Mr Spellar, then a Northern Ireland Office minister, had launched a consultation on the “A Shared Future” document, an attempt to address community divisions, segregation and sectarianism in the region at a time when the devolved powersharing institutions were suspended. A file at the Public Record Office in Belfast shows that OFMDFM official Chris Stewart wrote to the minister in July about a response to the document from Sinn Fein representative Bairbre de Brun. Mr Stewart told Mr Spellar that Ms de Brun’s letter had been critical of the document and was clearly intended to “mark your card”. He said among a number of points raised by de Brun was that “the promotion of equality is the key to improving community relations”. His memo adds: “Sinn Fein is clearly seeking to position or align the issue of community relations within its equality and human rights agenda. “This general Sinn Fein position has resulted in a simplistic analysis of community relations, which is flawed in its description of the causes and necessary policy response. “There is of course, no doubt that a lack of equality has been a contributing factor to poor community relations. “However, Sinn Fein ignores the many other factors, not least the violent conflict that resulted in over 3,000 deaths. “Sinn Fein also portrays poor community relations (for nationalists) as being a purely rational response to the political situation. “This ignores the more visceral component of sectarianism, which is all too prevalent in both communities.” Mr Stewart continues: “To suggest, as Sinn Fein does, that the promotion of equality should be the key component of good relations policy is to ignore the key message in A Shared Future, that indirect approaches alone are insufficient to deal with sectarianism and the abnormal relationship between sections of the Northern Ireland community.” The official recommended the minister invite representatives of Sinn Fein to a meeting to discuss the policy. The file also contains a note about Mr Spellar’s meeting with DUP representatives Maurice Morrow and Peter Weir the following month to discuss the document. The note says: “Morrow said he had no problem with sharing the future and suggested that the first step to that would be an election to decide who spoke for whom – though he was quick to say he didn’t want politics to dominate the meeting.” It adds: “Weir said that the biggest step towards improving community relations would be the creation of a political environment that had the broad support of both unionism and nationalism, and the GFA (Good Friday Agreement) could not create that environment.”OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Tuomas Uronen scored at 1:46 of overtime to give Finland a 4-3 victory over the defending champion United States on Sunday in the world junior hockey championship.

The Salvation Army in Prince Albert is searching for some volunteers this holiday season to help ring those bells for the organization’s annual Christmas Kettle Campaign. The fundraiser kicked off this past week across the country and is one of Canada’s largest and most recognizable annual charitable events. Major Ed Dean with the Salvation Army said the work is easy and is a great way to give back. “Bell ringing is quite easy, it’s standing for two hours at one of our Christmas Kettles. We have 800 kettle shifts to fill this year and the more shifts we fill, the better we will do with our campaign. Every hour that somebody is on a kettle, it makes a huge difference in what we can do in our community throughout the year.” The money raised helps the organization pay for toys for children and funds their community feeding program, where they serve over 50,000 meals per year to vulnerable men, women and children, or to anyone who is hungry in Prince Albert. “As you know, food is not getting cheaper,” said Dean. “These dollars are needed to help cover that cost. The need is still there, we’re serving 150-200 people five times a week at the Salvation Army.” Across Canada in 2023, the organization served 3.2 million meals that fed families with children, employed people whose low wages don’t cover basic living essentials, individuals on social assistance, and Canadians living on a fixed income, which includes seniors and people with disabilities. Dean said the initiatives rely on volunteers to keep running. “It’s all done with volunteers, they’re doing all the cooking and the cleaning. And so now, if we could have some other volunteers step up and say ‘You know what, I could give two hours to my community’ because it’s neighbours helping neighbours.” Christmas Kettles will be set up at businesses around the city, including at Safeway, Walmart, Real Canadian Superstore, Wholesale Club, Save-On-Foods, Co-op Food Store, and the Co-op Liquor Store on 2nd Ave. Additionally, the Salvation Army will have one at A&W, but the kettle itself will be different from the rest as it’s, what Dean calls, a “tip tap kettle”. “It’s a kettle with a tap machine, like an electronic kettle, and it’s set up in $10 increments, so they can tap their card at that location and they’re giving to the Salvation Army,” he explained, noting the changing times. “That’s the challenging piece when you don’t carry cash anymore, electronic is the way to go.” Like in previous years, kettles collecting change will have QR codes attached to them to allow shoppers to scan them to donate online. Those who wish to volunteer at one of the many Christmas Kettles around Prince Albert can call the Salvation Army office at (306) 763-6078. From there, they can dial the bell ringer extension attached to the phone number. “We would love to have groups or children singing. There’s lots of different ways they could have some fun, maybe they’ll meet some people they haven’t seen over the year,” said Dean. Christmas kettles are taking donations from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. five days a week from Tuesday to Saturday. The final day of the Campaign will be on Christmas Eve. “Every hour that someone is on a kettle, it could mean a difference in $100.” — loganc.lehmann@pattisonmedia.com
