Franklin Mayor Eugene Foulcard mused, “In reflecting on the progress we made during 2020, we are hoping for brighter things in 2021. “With the funding we got from the parish government, we are looking to embark on overlaying a few streets, which should hopefully begin sometime around Jan. 11-14.” He said the project will include “some of the worst of the worst” streets in town, including: Elm Street, King Street, Blakesley Street, 10th Street, West Adams Street, the intersec- tion of West Adams at West Ibert Street, and the removal of the rail crossing near the former St. Mary Iron Works.

  • Brevity, Skorpion & Battleaxe
    DESERT WAR PART THREE: BREVITY, SKORPION & BATTLEAXE OPERATION BREVITY MAY 15 – 16 1941 Operation Sonnenblume had seen Rommel rapidly drive the distracted and over-stretched British and Commonwealth forces in Cyrenaica back across the Egyptian border. Although the battlefront now lay in the border area, the port city of Tobruk - 100 miles inside Libya - had resisted the Axis advance, and its substantial Australian and British garrison of around 27,000 troops constituted a significant threat to Rommel's lengthy supply chain. He therefore committed his main strength to besieging the city, leaving the front line only thinly held. Conceived by the Commander-in-Chief of the British Middle East Command, General Archibald Wavell, Operation Brevity was a limited Allied offensive conducted in mid-May 1941. Brevity was intended to be a rapid blow against weak Axis front-line forces in the Sollum - Capuzzo - Bardia area of the border between Egypt and Libya. Operation Brevity's main objectives were to gain territory from which to launch a further planned offensive toward the besieged Tobruk, and the depletion of German and Italian forces in the region. With limited battle-ready units to draw on in the wake of Rommel's recent successes, on May 15 Brigadier William Gott, with the 22nd Guards Brigade and elements of the 7th Armoured Division attacked in three columns. The Royal Air Force allocated all available fighters and a small force of bombers to the operation. The strategically important Halfaya Pass was taken against stiff Italian opposition. Reaching the top of the Halfaya Pass, the 22nd Guards Brigade came under heavy fire from an Italian Bersaglieri (Marksmen) infantry company, supported by anti-tank guns, under the command of Colonel Ugo Montemurro.

Hiatt—for many years and its existence, save to a few, has been unknown. It is fragmentary in form. It is possibly the close of a journal which had been kept for years before. Its first sentence in the original is an incomplete one, showing that there was an antecedent portion. The picture of the times is so graphic than the Indiana Historical Society publishes it, on account of its historical value. Mr. Owen was 22 years old at the time of its composition.

VINYL Def Leppard were the definitive hard rock band of the ‘80s. There were groups that rocked harder, but few captured the spirit of the times quite as well. Emerging in the late ‘70s as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Def Leppard gained a following outside of that scene by toning down their heavy riffs and emphasizing melody. In The Many Faces of Def Leppard, we are going to dig deep into the lesser known work of their members, collaborations, side projects and of course, their hit-filled catalog.

  • Blasphemy and Sacrilege in a Multicultural Society
    3. Are we capable of offending God? Taking blasphemy seriously Helen Pringle Until quite recently there appeared to be a consensus in Western democracies as to the desirability of abolishing the offence of blasphemy and blasphemous libel. Indeed, in 1949, Lord Denning argued that `the offence of blasphemy is a dead letter'. According to Lord Denning, the basis of the law against blasphemy was the idea that `a denial of Christianity was liable to shake the fabric of society, which was itself founded upon the Christian religion', a danger that no longer existed.1 A long series of judicial remarks and government reports, most recently by the House of Lords Select Committee on Religious Offences in 2003,2 stressed the archaism of the offence, and endorsed some form of proposal to abolish or further confine it. However, in the 1990s, dissenting voices were raised against the consensus, particularly from Muslims who argued that in fact the law should be extended beyond Christianity. Misgivings about the effect of such an extension on the freedom of speech have dogged such proposals, particularly where they have found form in laws against religious vilification. The offence of blasphemy is often treated as a question of freedom of speech. A frequent argument against the continued vitality of the law of blasphemy is that it is an outmoded imposition on the freedom of speech, as can be seen in the public framing of the two most notorious modern cases: Gay News, which concerned the publication of a poem by James Kirkup,3 and Choudhury, concerning Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses.4 I do not hold to the position that freedom of speech is an absolute.

  • The Greatest Military Reversal of South African Arms: the Fall of Tobruk 1942, an Avoidable Blunder Or an Inevitable Disaster?
    THE GREATEST MILITARY REVERSAL OF SOUTH AFRICAN ARMS: THE FALL OF TOBRUK 1942, AN AVOIDABLE BLUNDER OR AN INEVITABLE DISASTER? David Katz1 Abstract The surrender of Tobruk 70 years ago was a major catastrophe for the Allied war effort, considerably weakening their military position in North Africa, as well as causing political embarrassment to the leaders of South Africa and the United Kingdom. This article re-examines the circumstances surrounding and leading to the surrender of Tobruk in June 1942, in what amounted to the largest reversal of arms suffered by South Africa in its military history. By making use of primary documents and secondary sources as evidence, the article seeks a better understanding of the events that surrounded this tragedy. A brief background is given in the form of a chronological synopsis of the battles and manoeuvres leading up to the investment of Tobruk, followed by a detailed account of the offensive launched on 20 June 1942 by the Germans on the hapless defenders. The sudden and unexpected surrender of the garrison is examined and an explanation for the rapid collapse offered, as well as considering what may have transpired had the garrison been better prepared and led.

  • Desert Generals the Desert Generals
    The Desert Generals The Desert Generals Introduction In 1960 the historian Correlli Barnett published The Desert Generals in which he had the temerity to challenge the all-pervasive cult of Field Marshal the Viscount Montgomery of Alamein by re-evaluating the roles of Montgomery’s sacked predecessors in the North African theatre, including both Richard O’Connor, who drove the Italians from Cyrenaica in late 1940 and early 1941, and Field Marshal Sir Claude Auchinleck (whom he pointedly described as ‘The Victor of Alamein’), who forced Rommel, ‘the Desert Fox’, to a halt at the First Battle of El Alamein, only to be dismissed by Churchill for his pains. This publication takes its title from Barnett’s book but its purpose is rather different. Barnett’s book offered a comprehensive account of the campaign in the Western Desert between 1940 and 1943 but this work has no such aspiration. Secondly, Barnett examined the contribution of five commanders to the war in the Western Desert : General Sir Richard O’Connor, General Sir Alan Cunningham, General Sir Neil Ritchie, Field Marshal Sir Claude Auchinleck and Field Marshal the Viscount Montgomery of Alamein. This work considers the contribution of only three. Two of the five – Auchinleck and Montgomery – were of Ulster-Scots stock and were proud of their Ulster ancestry. A third, Richard O’Connor could be regarded as ‘Scotch-Irish’ in the sense that his father was Irish and his mother was Scottish. Furthermore, O’Connor’s father was a major in the Royal Irish Fusiliers, an Ulster regiment whose regimental depot was in Armagh and whose traditional recruiting area was Counties Armagh, Cavan and Monaghan.
