London—Hilton Valentine Hotel, the founding guitarist of the British rock band The Animals, died after proposing the most famous opening improvisation of the 1960s. He was 77 years old at the time. The band’s record company ABKCO Music confirmed that Valentine passed away on Friday and said that his wife, Germaine Valentine, told him about his death. The brand said on Twitter: "Valentin is a founding member of The Animals and original guitarist. He is a pioneering guitarist who has influenced the sound of rock and roll for decades." Valentine was created by North Shields in Northeast England. Shields was founded in 1963, with singer Eric Burdon, bassist Chas Chandler (Chas Chandler), organist Alan Price and drummer John Stie (John Steel) worked together and became the most famous song of the band. In 1964, "House of the Rising Sun" topped the charts in both the United Kingdom and the United States. In the United States, many people are surprised that the band comes from the industrial heart of England. Burton paid tribute to Valentine on Instagram, writing: "The opening song of the rising sun will never sound the same!!" You are still alive! The news of Hilton's sudden death left him heartbroken. Valentin has been in the band for four years, and the band has also heard other classic music, including "Don't let me be misunderstood", "We are leaving this place" and "Don't let me down." Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, in recent years, the lover has been living in Connecticut, USA. The Associated Press

Long-time South Dakota Republican voter Jim Thompson prepares to leave the Republican Party, hoping that the exile of Donald Trump supporters like Donald Trump will punish Senator John Thune, a prominent political figure in the state. ) Trump regards Trump. Thompson, a retired rodeo announcer and broadcaster, watched Trump’s call for supporters to come to Washington to prevent Congress from proving Joe Biden’s election victory. He saw the subsequent The attack on the U.S. Capitol. But when Congress tried to hold Trump accountable for his actions, Thompson saw an agenda aimed at expelling the former president from politics and reappointing the party to Thun and others, the second-largest Republican leader in the Senate. . Thompson said: "We are tired of the way things are going, we are tired of political answers and rotations." Thun is a Republican, they condemned the riots in the Capitol, called it "terror", and promised to "hold accountability." But like most of his Republican colleagues, the senator hinted last week that he was not talking about Trump. Except for five, all Republican senators voted against impeachment trials. Although their votes are not enough to stop the upcoming trial, it is a rapid decline compared with the comments that punish Trump. It is easy to find the political motivation behind the decision in a small town in South Dakota, where voters who are still loyal to Trump will decide whether to send Thun back to the Senate next year. Although Republican leaders in Washington have a soft spot for punishing Trump, many of their voters have never dreamed of doing so. They believe that Trump and his right-wing allies made the baseless claim that the election was stolen and that the mob that swept the Capitol was radicalized by anti-French elements. They believe that an attempt to blame Trump for Trump's deadly siege is another attack on the presidential palace that the Republican Party has never accepted. There was no widespread fraud in the election, as evidenced by election officials across the country, including Trump’s former Attorney General William Barr. The Republican governors of Arizona and Georgia are the key battlefield states for Biden's victory, and elections in these states are guaranteed. The judge rejected almost all legal challenges from Trump and his allies, including two challenges discarded by the Supreme Court, including three Trump-nominated judges. David Buchanan, the principal of a small Bible school in South Dakota, said: "I think the whole process of impeachment is a joke." "They are trying to destroy President Trump. They see him as a threat. ." Buchanan is among those who want to hear Republicans give a stronger defense of Trump. On the contrary, most people argue that the impeachment trial is unconstitutional, not Trump’s innocence in the riot. Buchanan said he was frustrated to hear Thun on the radio opposing Trump's allegations of election fraud. He said: "What we see is the destruction of the beginning of the United States." Among these views, people have deep doubts about mainstream media reports and believe in another narrative-so far, this is Trang The defining characteristics of Pu's most ardent supporters, even those who have trusted the news. Brie Korkow, 37 years old from Pierre, runs a family rodeo business and liked to study political issues while working on a university debate team. But recently, she has given up hope of trusting the national media and does not know what to believe. She trusted her local newspaper, but felt that even the fact-checking conducted by the national media was no longer reliable. She said: "This can be traced back to discovering the truth of something." "With the help of social media, it is almost impossible." Although not sure what happened to the Capitol, Kokov still believes in Trump's election claims. Helps launch a rebellion. However, like the Republican senator, she believes that the impeachment trial will only be more divided. She hopes the Senate "let the past become the past." In addition, by the end of Trump's four-year tenure, Kokov said she was no longer shocked by Trump, but Republican lawmakers could still feel his spikes. When Thun disputed the allegations of election fraud against unfounded people, Trump declared that the senator’s “political career is over” and suggested that Trump’s favorite Republican governor Kristi Noem (Kristi Noem) The main challenges are presented in 2022. She quickly withdrew from next year's Thun challenge. Not yet gone, a private Facebook organization called "John Thun Elementary School in 2022" attracted more than 3,000 members. One of them, Bruce W. He said: “As a South Dakota native, we don’t understand why Thun, (Sen Mike) Lands and (Rep. Dusty) Johnson can’t see What we saw.” Warren had considered going to Washington for Trump’s protest. He firmly believed that Thun Warren (Whalen) watched on TV. When a mob of Trump supporters attacked the Capitol, he remembered Almost immediately convinced them that they are actually anti-French, which is short for anti-French. -Fascists are a wide range of radical leftist organizations that resist neo-Nazis and white supremacists in demonstrations and other activities Description. Whalen received enough Republican support in 2006 to represent the party in a statewide congressional campaign, and now sees Trump’s impeachment trial as "the noble noble that they tried to make him weak." Accusations.” At the same time, some long-time state Republican figures were frustrated by the senator’s hesitation in convicting Trump. “The former governor David Volk said: “He should be convicted. In the end, he got it. Trump’s broad support. Although he believes that Thune will not encounter too much trouble for re-election, Volk believes that Noem has ensured that Trump’s political stigma continues in the state. “There are many people who want to see him say, “Go Go, Trump goes away. But they can’t make him go away.” Others, such as Tom Barnett, the former director of the State Bar Association, have given up the Republican Party; last year, he served 50 times in the Republican Party. Years later, he changed his party relations, saying that he would no longer support officials who were unwilling to accept. Trump. He said that Trump "not only stole the party, but also ruined the party." Associated Press Stephen Grove S
Washington—He is a senator and a dying policeman. He wandered in the Senate cloakroom, chatted with legislators, and served as vice president. During the presidential campaign, he promoted to himself as a man who could "make people work together" and lower the temperature in Donald Trump's overheated Washington. Now, after his first full week as president, Joe Biden is facing potential restrictions on his ability to work in the aisle as he pushed for a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill, which is his The first major test during the tenure. Republicans were dissatisfied with the price, and Democrats signaled that they were willing to pass the bill without Republican help, because the Biden campaign seemed to give way to a different Senate. Biden, where he once lived, paid tribute to reality. He told reporters on Friday: "If we can do it, I support the passage of COVID relief with the support of the Republican Party. But COVID relief measures must be passed-no accident." The White House Did not give up hope of gaining some Republican support for the plan, as Biden's phone list proves this. But some of Biden's courtship partners also target members of his party to ensure an agreement is reached. Since taking office, he has called Susan Collins of Maine several times, and moderate Republicans have stated that her relationship with Biden is "closer" than with Trump. According to three people familiar with the matter, Biden has repeatedly called his party’s senators, including two centrists-Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Gilston Sinema of Arizona. The plan expresses some concerns. Anonymous because they have no right to discuss private conversations publicly. Biden is a retail politician and has never missed an opportunity for small talk or small talk, but this epidemic has made him a kind of welcome, and this epidemic limits the face-to-face interaction on which he depends. But he still has his peerless phone book, established for more than forty years, dealing with senators on both sides of the political divide. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said: “When he decided to make one of these calls, he didn’t actually need a phone list. The phone list told him exactly what to say to members of Congress and how to make the bill. ." In an interview with MSNBC. "He knows. He has been well known among these people for decades." Former Missouri Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill stated that Biden "is very much like a worker in outreach, when I served as the Senate cloakroom. When Joe Biden was the vice chairman of Barack Obama, it’s not uncommon for me.” "He burned the phone line," McCaskill said. "Obama did a terrible performance in this part of the job, and Biden is good at both sides." Biden spent 36 years in the Senate and served as vice president for eight years, despite many people in both parties Arguing that the Republican Party is no longer interested in working across the channel, Biden still regards bipartisanship as a central commitment. Biden's most successful deal came from the Obama-era fiscal showdown during the rise of the Tea Party Republicans. The landmark agreement locked in tax and spending cuts for a decade and made some progressive Democrats disappointed with Biden’s compromised brand. As Vice President, Biden is a trusted messenger on Capitol Hill, and Obama served in the Senate for four years. Biden entered the Capitol at several key moments. He helped cut the 2010 deal to prevent the Bush-era tax cuts from expiring, and then negotiated the landmark 2011 Budget Control Act, which cut spending and made the country’s exit imminent. The 2012 "fiscal cliff" of tax increases and budget cuts. "Biden's main virtue as a negotiator is,'Look, you have political support, I have political support, we both must live within our political constraints,'" former Deputy Chief of Staff Rohit Kumar Say. Republican leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. "His tone is:'I know there are things you can't do, and I won't let them become spoilers. As a senator, Biden also cherishes his relationship with colleagues, even though he is in his night commute home in Delaware. This weakened his ability to interact with other legislators. Trent Lott, the former Senate Majority Leader of R-Miss, said: "Well, I don't want to ruin him, but he sometimes works with us. Lott said that when Senate leaders tried to reach an agreement on major bills, Biden was not a person who often appeared in the conference room. However, Lott pointed out that the two main situations at the time were: the 1994 crime bill and the 2002 crime bill. After the Iraq War resolution in 1991, Biden expressed regret over these two measures. Lot still said that the relationship between Biden and McConnell is real and may pay dividends again. Lot said: “They reached a This agreement, fundamentally speaking, is an agreement they have been working on since then. "Someone in the media whispered Biden as McConnell. "However, the Senate has changed significantly since Biden joined decades ago, as senators gain status on social media, raise funds outside their home country and spend time with each other in Washington. Decrease, currency skills are different now. For senators from both parties who cultivate their own brands without having to rely on the power of the president to improve their image, Biden’s old-fashioned, one-to-one coaxing method may not be so convincing Of course, policy is also very important. The two sides have greater differences in national legislative remedies than ever before. Political scientists consider this to be a partisan difference like the rift in the Civil War era. Biden’s aides worry that the Republican Party People will continue to be frustrated, no matter how many individual calls they receive from the president or they receive a pandemic invitation after the White House's high-profile event. Their boss may be the last person to accept this advice. Biden Said a year ago: "Some people say you can't cooperate with the other party. "If so, please prepare a completely different America, a completely different world for your children. I do not believe.

Local Russian news media said on Sunday that despite the ban announced by Kiev, Russia has begun to provide its artificial satellite V COVID-19 vaccine to areas controlled by rebels in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine. The Ukrainian government plans to start receiving vaccines made by the West in February and ban the use of Russian satellite V. However, Ukraine has little control over Donetsk, which borders Russia, and clashes between the Ukrainian army and Moscow-backed separatist insurgents have killed more than 13,000 people since 2014.
Canada is the world’s largest rapeseed producer, and there is a shortage of oilseeds six months before the next harvest. Due to strong export demand, oil prices rose to a nearly 13-year high last week. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the global supply of major commodity crops is declining as buyers accumulate food supplies. China is increasing the amount of grain and oil seeds that can be used for animal feed, increasing food inflation and causing some countries to restrict crop exports.
Rotating staff in Cape Breton gathered to save the time and money required for flights to and from Halifax, as the island has been banned from air travel. Jessica Johnson from Sydney, North Carolina is not sure. When she started looking for her husband's ride-sharing opportunities, her husband worked as a plumber in Fort McMurray in Alta. After her husband suggested that she investigate other people's work, Johnson posted instructions on the Internet looking for rotating workers who might be interested in setting up a carpool group. The response was overwhelming. Johnson said: "To be honest, I'm surprised." "My call is just ice, ice, ice." Since the last Air Canada airliner took off from JA Douglas McCordy Airport, nearly three have passed. This week marked the temporary suspension of flight services to and from Sydney. Air Canada's decision to suspend all Cape Breton flights indefinitely was made after WestJet terminated its routes in October. Now, the only air services operating outside of Sydney are cargo planes visiting several days a week, as well as occasional charter flights and medical evacuation planes. But Cape Breton Island still has many workers relying on planes to travel to and from work locations in western and northern Canada. Now they are forced to drive for four hours-a good day-Halifax. Johnson (Johnson) created a private Facebook group where people can post a rotation schedule to see if there are any competitions and the possibility of shared journeys. As of Saturday, the "Sydney-Halifax YHZ Carpool" group has 66 members. Johnson said that with the advent of winter, returning home from Halifax means that the husband's journey will take extra time, even days. This also shortened the time he spent with his two 12- and 8-year-old children. She hopes that carpooling can save people money and help them drive safely on the road together. Johnson said: "It's really sad that you know these people are with their families. If they can get here early to be with their families, that's what I hope." Johnson said that she has found a line with her husband. People, so they are now coordinating the next step. There are no rules to prevent carpooling: According to provincial spokesperson Marla MacInnis, Nova Scotia has no public health restrictions specifically for carpooling. Instead, provincial health officials encourage residents to keep in contact as closely as possible. She said that people should consider the age, health and other social activities of the people traveling together. MacInnis said: “It is recommended that everyone wear a mask to provide additional protection.” In the past 14 days, no one should travel with people who have symptoms of COVID-19 or who have been in contact with known cases. Josh Rambeau of North Sydney has worked as a health and safety consultant in the west and north for ten years. He said he was having trouble on the shuttle bus and his wife did not drive, so carpooling to Halifax seemed the most viable option. He said the money spent on gasoline and airport parking add up. In order to catch the flight, he had to spend more nights in the hotel. During the two-day commute to British Columbia, he had to commute to and from Halifax. He believes that the cuts in Sydney flight services cost him four or five days with his family. Rambo said: "No matter how long you have been home on the last day, there will always be a pit in your stomach and a little discomfort in your stomach the day before you leave. This has not changed." "This feeling of homesickness has just increased." For anyone who wants to participate in carpooling or boarding, Johnson said that they should just ask to join the group, "and must hitchhike." Before the pandemic, both Air Canada and WestJet served Sydney. The airport has regular flights to Halifax and Toronto, and seasonal flights to Montreal. More popular stories
HALIFAX-Ten years after two Nova Scotiaians decided to dub the popular animated film "Chicken Run" into the Mi'kmaq language, their adventure comedy version has become popular and continues to stimulate interest in learning. Tom Johnson said that in 2011, he and his wife Carol Anne Johnson first began the idea of translating the escape chicken story into an indigenous language. This is a do-it-yourself adventure activity that has not been formally approved by the studio. "We hid for ten years because we thought we were pirates," Tom Johnson said with a smile in a recent interview. The British co-director of "Chicken Run" (Chicken Run), Peter Lord, hinted in a tweet released this month that they have nothing to fear. "What a wonderful story!" Lord (Lord) wrote after reading media reports on the Mi'kmaq version. Johnson said they were originally inspired to solve the project by his brother, who had previously produced the Mi'kmaq version of the 1995 Disney movie "Gaudi." His brother proposed that they solve "Little Chicken Run", which was first released in 2000. Johnson said that in a studio in a garage in the home of the Eskasoni First Nation in Cape Breton, he started with a one-line film. Then he called his wife, and soon after, they spent a few hours every night for six weeks, translating and listening to the voice of the bar character. Carol Anne Johnson led the translator and posed a challenge. She said: “If we use the same idiom, it won’t appear in the same way, and if we translate it literally, they won’t get the same laugh.” When finished, they emailed Send them DreamWorks Pictures, the international distributor of the film, for permission to reproduce. When they never heard back, they thought it was a good sign and started selling DVD copies to recover the cost. "From there, everyone in our community wants one," said Carol Anne Johnson, an administrator at the local elementary and middle school. Parents use this movie to introduce Mi’kmaw to their children. They repeat the lines in the movie and try to make the same jokes. Today, Johnsons is giving away a digital version. Tom Johnson, who works for the local fish and wildlife committee, said that they have requested copies from British Columbia and Los Angeles. One early viewer was Tom Johnson's cousin John T. Johnson, who said he got a record after learning about the dubbing. "I came home that night and played for my wife, and my daughter listened. (I am very happy to see something in Mi'kmaq," he said. "You will see chicken skin umps." He said, the whole family is here. Mi'kmaq can be spoken fluently at home, but when his daughter watches the dubbed version of the movie, he does have the opportunity to teach his daughter a few words. He said: "I think we have seen the English version of'Chicken Run' before, but Then we watched (dubbing) and was in awe with her...heard the chicken talking in Mi'kmaq." For Bernie Francis, a linguist who specializes in Mi'kmaq language, let the children hear The voice of this language is vital to its preservation. He said: “It’s not the elderly who speak this language, but the children.” Francis added that efforts like dubbing movies are valuable resources that can enable children Learn this language. Another Eskasoni resident, Mi’kmaq language immersion teacher Starr Paul, said that she was there when she was an immersion teacher. I saw this movie for the first time when I watched a movie in high school. Paul said in a recent interview: “I didn’t expect it to be so good. I haven’t even seen the English version of it. I only know the entire Mi’kmaw language. Storyline." Paul said that she has since used the film in her classroom and found that it can help students interact with language, but she wants to see more resources. "Language is really struggling, so that children It’s really difficult to be passionate about languages,” she said, adding that in her Mi’kmaq immersion school, there are about 130 students who can only speak fluent language. Francis said that this language is The decline can be traced back to the late 1980s. In 1989, Eskasoni said that there were about 2,400 people, and about 80% of the population spoke the language. Today, the population has grown to about 4,000, but only 20. % Of residents would say Mi'kmaq. He said: "We have to do this, it is fun for children, and they will actually pay attention." Francis said. Carol Anne Johnson (Carol Anne Johnson) Johnson) sees this dubbed film as part of a larger movement to preserve language. She describes it as an important part of Mi’kmaq’s identity. But she realizes that there is still work to be done. She said: “In fact, our The language is in a very fragile state." Despite this, she and her husband still see their translation as part of "the tradition of preserving the language and ensuring that we do our best."

WASHINGTON — Two people familiar with the matter said on Saturday that former President Donald Trump had parted ways with the lead impeachment lawyer a week before the Senate trial was about to begin. Two South Carolina attorneys Butch Bowers and Deborah Barbier no longer serve on Trump's defense team. A person familiar with the matter described the resignation as a "mutual decision", reflecting differences of opinion on the direction of the case. Both parties insist on discussing private conversations anonymously. One person said that it is expected that a new legal team will be announced within one or two days. This turmoil has injected new uncertainty into the composition and strategy of Trump's defense team, as he is prepared to face charges of inciting a rebellion in the US Capitol on January 6. However, with the exception of the five Senate Republicans, this week, among other things, they all voted to take action to remove him before the trial begins, making it clear that the conviction of the former president is impossible, regardless of his defense team. how is it. One of the people familiar with the matter said that two former federal prosecutors from South Carolina, Greg Harris and Johnny Gasser, were not in the team either. Another person familiar with the matter said that Bowers and Barbier left the team because Trump wanted them to use a defense that relied on electoral fraud charges, which the lawyers were unwilling to do. The person has no right to discuss the matter publicly and requested anonymity. After Trump became the first president in history to be impeached twice, he has been working hard to find a lawyer willing to defend him. He will stand trial in the week of February 8, accusing him of inciting supporters to sweep Congress before the inauguration of President Joe Biden in order to stop a peaceful transition of power. After many lawyers defending him previously refused to accept the case, Trump was recommended to Bowers by one of the Senate’s closest ally, South Wales Senator Lindsey Graham. Bowers (Bowers) is a familiar figure in the Republican legal profession, representing elected officials and political candidates (including then South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford)'s failed impeachment efforts evolved into ethics. Has many years of experience in academic investigations. Bowers and Barbier did not immediately return news, requesting comment on Saturday night. Republicans and Trump aides have made it clear that they intend to make a simple argument in the trial: Trump's trial is unconstitutional because he is no longer in office. Although Republicans in Washington seemed eager to part ways with Trump after the fatal incident on January 6, they have since freed themselves of criticism and tired of angering the former president’s loyal voter base. CNN was the first person to report the departure of a lawyer. ____ Associated Press writer, Meg Kinnard of Columbia, South Carolina, contributed to this report.

JERUSALEM-The Israeli army said Israeli soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian suspected of attempting to attack troops in the West Bank on Sunday. The Army said in a statement that "armed assailants connected three knives to a stick" trying to attack soldiers at the junction of the West Bank south of Bethlehem. No soldiers were injured. The military confirmed that the suspected attacker was killed. A video shared on social media shows a person wearing a gray sweatshirt walking along the side of a highway. He seemed to have pulled something from his clothes and started running towards the soldiers. The soldier appeared to have fired, and the man collapsed. The military shared a photo of the alleged weapon, which appeared to be a cluster of knives tied to the handle of a broomstick. In recent years, Israel has seen a series of shootings, stabbings, and car crashes. Most of these attacks were carried out by lone Palestinian attackers in the West Bank, with no obvious connection to armed groups. Last week, a soldier shot and killed a 17-year-old Palestinian who allegedly attacked troops with a knife in the northern West Bank. Human rights organizations in Palestine and Israel accused Israel of excessive use of force in some cases and killed some suspected attackers that could have been arrested. Associated Press
WUHAN, China — A team from the World Health Organization investigated the origin of the coronavirus pandemic on Sunday and visited a food market in Wuhan, China, which is linked to many early infections. The team members visited the South China Seafood Market for about an hour in the afternoon. When the reporter asked about the progress of the trip, one of them gave a thumbs up. The market is where the virus broke out in December 2019. Scientists initially suspected that the virus came from wild animals sold in the market. Since then, the market has been largely excluded, but it can provide hints on how the virus can spread widely. Peter Daszak, a zoologist at the Ecological Health Alliance in the United States and a member of the World Health Organization team, said in a tweet: "Today's very important site visit-first the wholesale market, and now the South China seafood market." United The team understands the epidemiology of COVID, which will begin to spread by the end of 2019. "Earlier in the day, team members were also seen walking through various parts of the Baishazhou market. The Baishazhou market is one of the largest wet markets in Wuhan, surrounded by a large number of entourages of Chinese officials and representatives. Last year, the city closed 76 God, they have rich expertise in the fields of veterinary medicine, virology, food safety and epidemiology, so far they have visited two hospitals at the center of the early outbreak of the epidemic-Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital and Hubei Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. Sixth, they also visited a museum exhibition on the early history of COVID-19. The mission was politically condemned because China tried to avoid accusing China of its mistakes in its early response to the epidemic. The animal bank for a fixed outbreak is usually one This detailed work requires years of research, including animal samples, genetic analysis and epidemiological studies. One possibility is that wild animal poachers may have passed the virus to merchants who carried it to Wuhan. The Chinese government has been promoting theories, but there is little evidence that the outbreak of this disease may have started with the import of frozen seafood infected with the virus. This view has been widely opposed by international scientists and institutions.___苏从香港Reporting. Emily Wang Fujiyama and Zen, Associated Press

"If I want to feed people, I want to feed those who need to be fed, they may not be able to obtain their own food in other ways, or they may not be properly fed, or there is a safe place to do so," he said. "It just speaks to the soul a little bit, you know?" Dale was not alone. One of his former restaurant colleagues, Brian Janes, ran the kitchen at the meeting place and worked with some other chefs. They gave up the high-end kitchen in favor of what they said was more meaningful work. "We do everything we can, we do everything we can," said Janes, who has served as sous chef at Mallard Cottage for nearly three years. The meeting place described itself as a community health center, providing a series of support and services for the disadvantaged in the St. John’s community. There is a kitchen which provides three meals a day for those in need. When asked why he changed his job from one of the best restaurants in the province to an outreach center, Janes succinctly explained his reasons: "I hate cooking for the rich." Janes said, partying. The needs of the customers of the venue make everything different, and he finds that the cooking he is doing now makes more sense. Janes said: "(I) cook for people who need food, not for those who want to go out and spend a small sum of money on wine and food, maybe they don't necessarily need it." "Maybe that is excess wealth. "The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the communities that Janes and his kitchen serve. Through multiple grants from the local and Canadian Culinary Federation, Jane’s existing kitchen and previous kitchen can arrange to provide additional meals. He said: "When the pandemic started, we got supplementary meals from the duck hut." "I went with a check from [owner] Todd [Perrin], and we arranged for them to take it for us on certain days of the week. It’s really good to have food.” Janes said that although he hopes that this initiative will last longer, he likes the collaboration between restaurants and outreach. It’s a good experience. What is really refreshing is that people who actually need a hot meal, not just people who want to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars. -Nick Giles (Nick Giles) Although some local restaurants provided early help and customer usage declined slightly during the peak period of alcohol prohibition, the chefs at the gathering place said that they had to prepare 400 to 500 meals a day on average. More than six or seven hundred. Nick Giles (Nick Giles) said: "As more and more employees are hired, our opening hours are longer and we do more work than in the past." Although Giles needs work, he specifically chooses Instead of going back to the catering industry, I joined friends like Derek Ashley who already worked at Gathering Place. Giles said: "This is a good place to work." "The time must be very different from the time you see in ordinary restaurants, and compared with ordinary restaurants, the salary and benefits here must exist." Giles said , Not only the working environment, but also the cooking for those who need it most, which promoted him to a new position. "What's really exciting is that its people actually need a hot meal, not just people who want to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars." The kitchen focuses on hearty food, focuses on satisfying customers' needs, ensuring They have nutrition to eat. Although the team has a budget for ordering food, the produce they use has been donated, so the daily menu will change based on the chef's availability at any given time. Despite the challenges, Giles said, the reward is to be able to use the knowledge he learned in the city's top kitchens to serve communities in need. Giles said: “Compared to restaurants, working here is absolutely refreshing, because for most people, it’s essential food. It’s not just luxury,” “It’s possible to learn everything I learned. Take away, and bring this high-quality food to a soup room in essence, which is really cool to me." Learn more from CBC Newfoundland and Labrador
