TOP STORIES MENU Menorah in the D celebrates 10th anniversary at Campus Martius with virtual Hanukkah event DETROIT FREE PRESS | 3 MONTHS AGO | 2 MINUTES, 41 SECONDS READ Detroit's 10th annual Menorah in the D, a community Hanukkah celebration at Campus Martius, will go virtual this year. As the Jewish holiday begins at sundown Thursday, families and community members are encouraged to join the festivities on Zoom and light their menorahs as the 26-foot Detroit menorah is lit. The event typically draws thousands, but this year, as a result of COVID-19 safety protocols, Rabbi Kasriel Shemtov, vice president of Chabad-Lubavitch, will lead an invite-only ceremony at Campus Martius. Guests will include Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and U.S. Rep. Brenda Lawrence, D-Southfield. Presenting sponsors the Shul, Chabad Greater Downtown Detroit and the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit will be represented by a small number of people. At 5 p.m., guests can join a Zoom link on MenorahInTheD.com for greetings from community leaders and dignitaries, a 10-year recap and the torch ceremony. That will be followed by a 6 p.m. Zoom afterparty during which families watching from any location will be welcome to share their greetings. "The interaction is going to be cool because we'll actually be cutting into people's homes (on Zoom) to show them watching the event with their families," said co-host and ambassador Bruce Schwartz. "It's very different from actually being at the ceremony itself, but it's a change we're embracing." "Our tradition," said Shemtov, "is lighting the candles at a window where they can be seen from the outside, which represents not only the light and warmth that bring warmth to our homes but also the light that guides us in the darkness. This is the message of Hanukkah. In a public lighting, we take this to another step: We bring that light and warmth and peace to the entire community." The Detroit menorah, an original steel and glass creation by artists Erik and Israel Nordin of the Detroit Design Center, was installed Dec. 2 at Campus Martius and will remain in place through the end of Hanukkah on the evening of Dec. 18. People planning to attend virtually can register on the Menorah in the D website to get a free lamplighter kit with candles, postcards, gelt (chocolate candy shaped like coins), an event guide, a limited-edition Menorah in the D lighter, cookies and more. Menorahs are available, as well. Visitors can select one of five locations around the region to pick up a kit through Thursday. Shemtov believes that the event will include a stream-at-home option even after the threat of the coronavirus has passed. "Some people said, 'This year, let's pass without the celebration, or at least pull back on it,' " he said. "Before, we'd have 4,000 or 5,000 people. Instead of backtracking, we're doing a program that can now reach tens of thousands. We are not deterred by the challenge. We overcome it, and we do even better. "My feeling," he said, "is that we never go back. Always forward. So whatever we do this year, we'll do even better next year."

With the bulk of new share sales posting large gains on their first-day of trading, investor euphoria was justified.

Autohome Inc., a Chinese online car-sales website with its primary listing in New York, ended its Hong Kong debut on Monday with a modest 2% rise.

But the chief minister of the northeastern state of Mizoram said on Sunday that he had held talks with a member of a committee of ousted lawmakers in Myanmar, which is attempting to reestablish the civilian government. Many of the people who have sought shelter in the remote Indian state since late February are defecting policemen and their families. “We have to help them in the time of need,” Mizoram lawmaker K. Vanlalvena, who attended the meetings, said in an interview. At least 250 people have been killed and thousands detained in Myanmar since Feb. 1, with security forces attempting to stamp out widespread pro-democracy protests.

    Historical Society Notes the Historical Tour in Marietta

    HISTORICAL SOCIETY NOTES THE HISTORICAL TOUR IN MARIETTA Theroads were good, the scenery magnificent, and the weather per- fect for the tenth annual tour of the Historical Society of Western Penn- sylvania and the University of Pittsburgh, in Marietta, Ohio, on Satur- day, July 21, 1951. Marietta, with itsmany points of historic and civicinterest, was the single objective of the pilgrimage, for no attempt was made, as on previ- ous tours, to travel as a motorcade or do any planned "site-seeing" along the way. However, the route recommended to motoring participants, and the one followed by the writerand his party, was south on Route 19 to "Little Washington"; southwest on U. S. 40, the old National Pike, to the outskirts of Wheeling; south to Moundsville (biggest Indian Mound in the U. S. A.");and thence down the south bank of the Ohio. From this point to Marietta the Ohio Valley is almost as lovely as it must have seemed to the forty-eight pioneers in the Rufus Putnam party that left Pittsburgh in the spring of 1788 to found Marietta, first Ameri- can settlement in the Northwest Territory. Gone —after Moundsville— are the mills and mines and railroad yards of the Wheeling and Pitts- burgh areas. Broad and deep and green, the beautiful Ohio sweeps be- tween its wooded hills, cutting through the ancient alluvial plain that lies first on the north bank, then on the south. Here and there, of course, are towns, with occasional light indus- trial plants. Yet everywhere on the shoulders of the river hills and on the level bottom-lands are fertile farms.

Formerly Pastor of Congregational Church Author of the History of the First Congregational Church Marietta, Ohio PUBUIBHID FOR THB AUTHOR BY GLOBE PRINTING & BINDING COMPANY PARKRRSBURG. WEST VIRGINIA Copyrighted in 1920 by C. E. DICKINSON DEDICATED To the Belpre Historical Society with the hope that it will increase its efficiency and keep alive the interest of the people in the prosperity of their own community. FOREWORD The history of a township bears a similar relation to the history of a nation that the biography of an indi­ vidual bears to the record of human affairs. Occasionally an individual accomplishes a work which becomes an essential and abiding influence in the history of the world. Such persons however are rare, although a considerable number represent events which are important in the minds of relatives and friends. The story of only a few townships represents great historic events, but ac­ counts of the transactions in many localities are of im­ portance to the present and future residents of the place. Belpre township is only a small spot on the map of Ohio and a smaller speck on the map of the United* States. Neither is this locality celebrated for the transaction of many events of world-wide importance; at the same time the early history of Belpre exerted an influence on the well being of the State which makes an interesting stqpy for the descendants of the pioneers and other residents of the township. Within a very few months of the arrival of the first settlers at Mariettapfchey began to look for the most favorable places to locate jtheir homes.

    Eьfьs Putnam, and His Pioneer Life in the Northwest

    1898.] Rufus Putnam.. 431 EÜFÜS PUTNAM, AND HIS PIONEER LIFE IN THE NORTHWEST. BY SIDNEY CRAWFORD. THE life of General Eufus Putnam is sb intimately con- nected with the history of the first century of our countiy that all the facts concerning it are of interest. It is a most commendable effort which has been put forth, therefore, during the more .recent years, to give his name the place it deserves among the founders of our republic. We boast, and rightly, of our national independence, and associate with it the names of Washington and Jefferson, which have become household words throughout the land ; but, when we come to look more closely into the problem of our national life from the beginning of it down to the present time, we find that one of the most essential factors in its solution was the work of Rufus Putnam. Although a man of humble birth, and never enjoying many of the advan- tages of most of those who were associated with him in the movements of his time, yet, in point of all the sturdj"^ qualities of patriotism, sound judgment and farsighted- ness, he was the peer of them all. To him, it may be safely said, without deti'acting from the fame of any one else, tlie countiy owes its present escape from the bondage of African slavery more than to any other man. Had it not been for his providential leadership, and all that it involved, as is so tersely -written on the tablet in the Putnam Memorial at Rutland, "The United States of America would now be a great siavehold- ing empire." He was the originator of the colony to make the first settlement in the, territory nortliAvest of the Ohio 432 .

    THE MEANING OF MARIETTA1 MERRILL R. PATTERSON members and guests of the Historical Society of DistinguishedWestern Pennsylvania and of the University of Pittsburgh: Ies- teem it a very real honor to be permitted to speak to you tonight. I have no claim to fame, since Iwas not born in Pennsylvania. But my wife was. You do notneed to be told that there are many intelligent and good-natured people in the Keystone State. Just recently a friend of mine and his wife were vacationing there and were going along the road at a rate of speed in excess of that allowed by law. Allat once, they heard a siren and were forced to the side of the road by a motorcycle"cop, who said courteously: 'Where do you think you're goin', to a fire:5 My friend said: "No indeed. My wife and Iare on our way to an antique shop." "Well," said the cop, "what's the big hurry?" My friend an- swered: "We are trying to get there before the antiques get any older." And believe itor not, the cop let them go. But Imust start my speech or all of us willbe much older. About a month ago Idrove to the near-by Wood County Airport, boarded a plane, and exactly four hours later, landed at Boston. The forty-eight Marietta pioneers who left their Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Con- necticut homes in ox-drawn Conestoga wagons from Ipswich, Massa- chusetts, took well over twomonths to cover the same distance. In short, Icould have flown close to five hundred journeys between Ipswich and Marietta within the timelimits of the original emigration.
