A world-renowned Haida artist and avid supporter of the victims of war in Ukraine, is pitching his talents to a Victoria non-profit that provides life-changing prosthetics. Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas is the only living Indigenous artist whose work is in the permanent collection of the Modern and Contemporary Art Department at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. His works are also in the collections of the British Museum, Denver Art Museum, Peabody Essex Museum, Seattle Art Museum, Glenbow Museum in Calgary, Vancouver Art Gallery and Museum of Anthropology at UBC. Originally scheduled to have an art show at the TSEKH Art Gallery in Kyiv, Ukraine in the fall of 2021, Nicoll Yahgulanaas is instead using his art to raise funds and awareness for the war-torn country. One of the works that would have been displayed is called Kyiv Child, created after visiting Ukraine in 2019. “I made many friends on that trip, and now they are huddling in basements, holding their children close. They worry about food, water, and Putin's indiscriminate bombing of civilians,” Nicoll Yahgulanaas said in a statement. Yahgulanaas has raised $75,000 so far for Ukraine aid through Unicef and MSF, and the latest campaign targets $25,000 for the Victoria Hand Project. From a small lab at the University of Victoria, The Victoria Hand Project harnesses 3D printing technology to create life-altering prosthetics. The charity strives to empower individuals worldwide, particularly where accessing prosthetics is challenging. By offering affordable and sustainable solutions, they restore independence, hope, and dignity to those who have lost mobility due to limb loss. CEO Michael Peirone is grateful that the B.C. artist opted to share his talents with the Saanich-based project. Malaspina Printmakers in Vancouver is covering the costs to create the high-quality prints of Yahgulanaas’s work available for $700 . Other donors and supporters mean the funds are 100 per cent proceeds. Each print sale, $700, would essentially cover the costs associated with a prosthetic in Ukraine, Peirone told the Saanich News. “Unfortunately from what we’ve heard from partners on the ground working in Ukraine there is such a need for prosthetic care and the resources aren’t available,” he said. “The waitlists are growing, with people who have been waiting six months to a year after losing an arm defending their country. “Even if the war ended right this moment – and we wish it would – there’s still a great need for prosthetic care.” Three Victoria Hand Project team members travelled to Ukraine in June 2023 to train locals and set up two clinics for the organization’s usual in-country solution. “That helps with the long-term sustainability and decreases wait times. Also, we found it really fosters a sense of pride in the community,” Peirone said. The non-profit has made several in-person trips there, creating fast and affordable prosthetic limb production. The organization has already provided more than 110 prosthetics for Ukrainians. Get prints online at . It's one campaign among several underway at the Victoria Hand Project. A Giving Tuesday event (internationally recognized as Dec. 3) aims to raise $50,000 focused on providing prosthetic arms in Ukraine.

Morgan, a wealthy trial lawyer, fumed about the spending spree in an appearance on Chris Cuomo's show 'CUOMO' on NewsNation. 'All of a sudden, everybody's got the keys to the candy store, ad buyers, talent consultants. There's 100 days to do it, and the money started pouring in, pouring in,' he said. He bemoaned some of the profligate spending decisions, like lighting up the Las Vegas 'Sphere' to the tune of $900,000, plus ad-buys in his home state of Florida and wall-to-wall ads in the unsuccessful bid to prevent Donald Trump's return to the White House . He suggested ill motives for some of the costs. 'She had all these consultants. And if you don't run the ads, you don't get paid for the buy,' he fumed. 'Nine hundred thousand to put her face on the sphere in Las Vegas! The ego, the crazy, the commissions,' he compalined. He said he was at the White House, where President Biden held a huge 'thank you' party for staff, campaign aides, and donors. Top Democratic donor John Morgan, a wealthy attorney, ripped into Vice President Kamala Harris for churning through campaing funds 'There's a lot of whispers. There's a lot of names about who got paid this, who got paid that, and a lot of people got rich on the back of donors trying to stop Trump. And I think this disqualifies her forever. Forever. If you can't run a campaign, you can't run America, and that would be the argument just Day One,' he said. HIs tirade came after a series of reports on how the Harris camp burned through more than $1.4 billion. Now, in the aftermath of her defeat, her campaign continues to send out a string of solicitations to raise money to try to pay off a campaign debt reported to be as high as $20 million. VP Harris's campaign paid about $1 million to Oprah Winfrey's production company, in an effort that tried to use celebrity endorsements to help propel her Morgan ripped the campaign for paying to put Harris's face on the Las Vegas Sphere, in an eye catching ad in battleground Nevada Other expenses that have raised eyebrows have included up to $4 million on private jets, $1 million to Oprah Winfrey's production company Harpo studios, $5,000 to a California nail artist , and more. Other expenses include $654 million on advertising , according to AdImpact. Read More Kamala Harris drops big hint about her future in talks with her inner circle It was all part of a campaign that relied on big rallies, frequent trips to swing states, and no small measure of celebrity and support from A-list musicians and actors. Meanwhile, with her campaign over, some DNC staffers have been laid off without severance. Harris gave it a worse look by taking a family vacation in Hawaii. Harris had to jump into the race last summer after Joe Biden's sudden withdrawal following his debate disaster. She ended up keeping most of his campaign apparatus in Delaware while bringing on some of her own advisors. But her political options are far from over. She led the field in a recent poll for 2028, notwithstanding the gripes of the party apparatus. Advisers and allies say they have been instructed by the vice president to 'keep her options open' according to Politico. She could even pursue an open governor seat in her home state of California in 2026. Gov. Gavin Newsom , who came up through California politics with Harris, is term limited and may eye a 2028 run for White House himself.

For the third New Year’s Day in a row, residents of Huron County will start the new year with a chilly dip in Lake Huron. “Well, they tell me it's fun. I've yet to find the fun in the Polar Plunge going in myself, but it is a community event – and as a family event, we see families coming out and bringing their kids and everybody going in together,” said Huron Polar Plunge co-organizer Patrick Armstrong. Armstrong came up with the idea for the Huron Polar Plunge to help raise money and awareness for the Huron and Area Search and Rescue Team (HASAR). He brought the Alzheimer’s Society of Huron-Perth to benefit from funds raised as well – and this year they will not only be helping to organize the event, but will be putting in a team of ‘chilly dippers’ for the first time. Members of HASAR (Huron and Area Search and Rescue) and the Huron-Perth Alzheimer’s Society meet in Bayfield to discuss the upcoming Polar Plunge, December 10, 2024 (Scott Miller/CTV News London) “I am completely flabbergasted that I have chosen to do this,” said Erin Dale, Fund Development and Communications Manager with the Huron-Perth Alzheimer’s Society. $20,000 was split between HASAR and Huron-Perth Alzheimer’s Society from last year’s Polar Plunge proceeds. Nearly 100 people participated in the Polar Plunge, organized by HASAR and the Alzheimer’s Society, on January 1, 2024, in Goderich (Scott Miller/CTV News London) “The first year we had less than 30 people, and then it jumped to around 100 people last year – and so we're hoping for even more. There's over ten teams signed up already, so the more the merrier,” said Dale. HASAR is a team of professionally trained volunteers who can be called into to assist police and fire, with things like missing persons, or high angle rope rescue, or cold water/ice rescue. Our own Scott Miller got a taste of what some of the cold-water training might look like, by donning a dry suit and wading into the chilly waters of Lake Huron on Tuesday. He survived and found a greater appreciation for the HASAR volunteers who wear drysuits on New Year’s Day, to ensure all the ‘polar plungers’ have an exhilarating, and safe kick off to 2025. CTV News reporter, Scott Miller enters the chilly waters of Lake Huron near Bayfield in a rescue dry suit provided by HASAR (Huron and Area Search and Rescue), December 10, 2024 (Scott Miller/CTV News London) “I know people historically have this view of everybody running in from the beach. We take safety very seriously. So it's a kind of an orchestrated event: you show up, you go in the water with your family, but our rescuers are actually in the water the whole time. So, we're aware of everybody who goes in to make sure that everybody that goes in, comes back out,” said HASAR leader Armstrong. The Huron Polar Plunge is happening January 1, 2025, at the Maitland Marina Boat Ramp in Goderich, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. You can learn more here.
