LONDON — A U.K. Labour government would seek a bilateral security and defense treaty with Germany in its first six months of winning power. Labour’s Shadow Defense Secretary John Healey said Tuesday the agreement would be modeled on the historic Lancaster House treaties reached by Britain and France in 2010. It would be part of a wider British push to reconnect with European allies if Labour Leader Keir Starmer wins the next U.K. general election.Healey will present the proposal alongside Nils Schmid, the parliamentary group spokesperson for foreign affairs for Germany’s Social Democratic Party (SDP), which leads Germany’s three-party coalition government, at an event in London on Tuesday.“Allies are our strategic strength,” Healey said. “We want a Lancaster House style UK-German defence and security agreement struck within the first six months of a Labour Government. This will grow UK jobs, strengthen NATO and keep Britain safe,” he added.The Labour Party’s policy platfo...

Relentless Walpole girls lacrosse team defeats Concord-Carlisle, 12-8

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:20:46 GMT

CONCORD — There was a word Walpole girls lacrosse coach Mike Tosone used to describe one of his players after a 12-8 victory over Concord-Carlisle on Monday.Relentless.And while, yes, that applied to sophomore Caitlyn Naughton, it could have been directed at any one of his Timberwolves.With the Division 1 state tournament looming and looking as competitive as ever, Tosone could not pick an adjective more fitting as Walpole finds its way.Against C-C, Naughton led the way with five goals. Fellow sophomore Sophia Fruci had three goals, and senior Bridget Welch and freshman Ava McLean scored twice apiece.With the win, Walpole improves to 14-2, while C-C falls to 8-6.Yes, Walpole may be young, but not totally inexperienced, as Tosone was quick to mention the bevy of two- and three-sport athletes on his team.“They don’t get rattled,” Tosone said. “I think a lot of that is innate. So many of our girls play three sports. They’re in a competitive environment yea...

Mets split series against Nationals after poor start from David Peterson

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:20:46 GMT

WASHINGTON — The Mets’ pitching situation has become untenable.Of all the problems facing the Mets right now, the starting pitching problem is the most pressing. The repeated failure of the club’s starters to go seven innings or even six creates a domino effect that’s tough to overcome on a nightly basis, no matter how good the bullpen may be.And to be clear, the bullpen is pretty good right now. The best in the National League coming into Monday’s game against the Washington Nationals.But another dismal start by David Peterson (1-6) in the fourth and final game of the series at Nationals Park illustrated the issue. The Nats tagged Peterson for six earned over five innings and the Mets lost 10-3 to split the series.It was clear that Peterson was done after the fourth inning, maybe even the third. But the bullpen had to pick up 11 innings over the previous two games and the Mets had little choice but to let Peterson get to five innings. An overworked bul...

The Chicago Bears and a trio of school districts whose financial resources stand to be impacted by the football team’s proposed redevelopment of Arlington International Racecourse in Arlington Heights are deadlocked over how much the Bears should pay in property taxes for the site.Team President and CEO Kevin Warren said in a May 4 letter to three school district superintendents that their proposal of a $95 million valuation for the property is a “non-starter” and “not viable.” The valuation would result in the Bears paying $7.9 million in yearly property taxes.“This is an excessive sum for property that will sit idle and will have no commercial use for at least the next two years,” Warren wrote.The Bears countered by proposing annual tax payments of $4.3 million, and called for returning to the negotiating table.Warren’s May 4 letter, obtained by Pioneer Press, addressed collectively to the superintendents of Palatine Community Consol...
