THIS country has a "fractured government," and if the people want a "redress of grievance, there is no urgent remedy," former president Rodrigo Duterte said on Nov. 26, adding that "only the military who can correct it." But his question on how long the military would be willing to support a drug-addicted commander-in-chief unsettled Malacañang. Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. promptly rejected the call for the military to intervene in the country's current political situation. In brushing it aside, Brawner emphasized that the AFP's job is to protect the republic, its people, and the country's sovereignty and sovereign rights. He is absolutely correct! Meddling in politics is not part of the military's mandate. But some quarters see that something could be wrong with his planned removal of military personnel assigned to the Vice Presidential Security and Protection Group (VPSPG).

Eli Potter, center, is the youngest of three Potter brothers who together have been on the Wells football team, coached by Tim Roche, left, for 11 consecutive years. Oldest brother Nolan Potter, right, is now an assistant coach and high school history teacher at Wells. Steve Craig photo WELLS — For the last 11 seasons, Wells High football coach Tim Roche could call out the name “Potter” and know what he would get. A strong young man – with a smile and a polite disposition – would be ready to go. As a linebacker, he would plug holes instinctively and bring down running backs with sure tackles. A Potter would be willing to block first, maybe even play on the offensive line. But at some point they would transition to a downhill-running, yardage-gaining fullback well suited to Roche’s wing-T offense. First Nolan, then Jonah, and now Eli Potter have shined for the small-school power. These Potters have been knocking down opponents and scoring touchdowns at Wells longer than Harry Potter was attending Hogwarts. Eli Potter, the youngest, is a senior. That means there’s only one game left in the Potter run: the Class D championship game on Saturday at Lewiston High. Wells (10-0) and Foxcroft Academy (11-0) will kick off at 2:30 p.m. “This is my last week of Wells football practice, ever, but you can’t think about it like that,” Potter said as darkness enveloped Wells on Tuesday night. “Of course this isn’t just any other game, but you can’t get swept up in it. You have to focus on your responsibilities.” Potter has rushed for a team-high 1,213 yards and 20 touchdowns. When he isn’t carrying the ball, he’s blocking for senior halfback Dom Buxton, who has 1,049 yards rushing and 17 touchdowns. Potter also leads the team with 47 tackles. It’s a senior season comparable to Nolan Potter’s 1,550-yard, 28-touchdown senior year in 2017, when the Warriors won their second of three straight titles in Class D. Nolan Potter was a Fitzpatrick Trophy finalist that season. Wells running back Eli Potter fends off a Winthrop defender while picking up some yards during the Class D South final. Ben McCanna/Staff Photographer Jonah Potter actually cracked the starting offensive lineup earlier than either of his brothers but lost his 2020-21 senior seasons in both football and wrestling to the COVID-19 pandemic. All three Potters earned individual and team championships in wrestling. “Nolan’s the biggest. Jonah, he had the COVID year, or he would have been equally as good as the other two,” Roche said. Eli Potter hopes he can match his big brother as a two-time football state champion. “You think about it in bed at night. You envision yourself holding up that Gold Ball and the plays you have to make,” he said. “You get those nerves before that, but all that gets thrown out the window once you make that first hit. You just have to play your game from there.” Family is a familiar theme within the Wells program. Quarterback Cal Moody’s father, two uncles and grandfather played the position at Wells . Moody’s younger brother, Colin, is a freshman running back. Other brother combinations on this year’s roster are senior Jonathan Martinez and junior William Martinez, senior Raymond Bell and sophomore Daniel Bell, and seniors Elias and Bryce Curley. The Potter football connection at Wells started at the youth level. Their grandfather, Bob Walker, was their coach. Walker was a respected wrestling coach at Noble, where he started the program, and at Kennebunk. Walker helped instill a strong work ethic, Eli Potter said. “He always told us to never stop running our feet. Run on your toes. Never stop running. So we run until we hear the whistle blow.” Nolan Potter’s first high school season was in 2014. He was a starting linebacker on the 2016 Class C championship team and the lead back in 2017. Jonah Potter played from 2017-20. By the time Eli was a freshman in 2021, “there was a mold of what a Potter does on a Wells football team,” Nolan Potter said. “He played the role very well. He’s done a great job.” Eli Potter says it’s a role he’s always relished. “I’ve been pretty much picturing myself suiting up for Wells ever since,” Eli said. “I’ve always looked up to Nolan and Jonah so much, and to be able to play like they do is a dream come true.” We invite you to add your comments.

Kosovo arrested several suspects on Saturday after an explosion at a key canal feeding two of its main power plants, while neighbouring Serbia rejected accusations of staging the blast. The explosion on Friday near the town of Zubin Potok, which sits in an ethnic Serb-dominated area in Kosovo's troubled north, damaged a canal that supplies water to hundreds of thousands of people and cooling systems at two coal-fired power plants that generate most of Kosovo's electricity. As security forces swarmed the area around the canal, whose concrete walls were left with a gaping hole gushing water, Prime Minister Albin Kurti visited the site and announced that authorities had arrested several people. Law enforcement "carried out searches" and "collected testimony and evidence, and the criminals and terrorists will have to face justice and the law", he said. Calling it "the most serious attack on critical infrastructure in Kosovo since the end of the war", Interior Minister Xhelal Svecla told the press that police had detained eight suspects. Police chief Gazmend Hoxha said that his office had seized "200 military uniforms, six grenade launchers, two rifles, a pistol, masks, knives" in the operation. "This is not a trivial attack, it was an act prepared by professional terrorist organisations," Svecla added. The arrests follow a security meeting late on Friday, when Kurti pointed the finger at Serbia. "The attack was carried out by professionals. We believe it comes from gangs directed by Serbia," he told a press conference, without providing evidence. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic hit back on Saturday, denying the "irresponsible" and "baseless accusations". "Such unfounded claims are aimed to tarnish Serbia's reputation, as well as to undermine efforts to promote peace and stability in the region," he said in a statement to AFP. Serbian Foreign Minister Marko Djuric had earlier suggested on X that the Kosovar "regime" could itself be behind the blast, calling for an international investigation. The main political party representing Serbs in Kosovo, Serb List, also condemned the attack "in the strongest possible terms". AFP journalists at the scene saw water leaking heavily from one side of the reinforced canal, which runs from the Serb-majority north of Kosovo to the capital, Pristina. However, electricity supplies to consumers were running smoothly on Saturday morning, with authorities having found an alternative method to cool the plants, said Kosovo's Economy Minister Artane Rizvanolli. Repair work was ongoing, authorities said, while Kurti confirmed workers had managed to restore water flows to 25 percent capacity. - Fears of 'escalation' - The European Union denounced the explosion as a "terrorist attack". "It is a despicable act of sabotage on Kosovo's critical civilian infrastructure, which provides drinking water for (a) considerable part of Kosovo's population and is a vital component of Kosovo's energy system," the bloc's top diplomat, Josep Borrell, said in a statement. The United States, France and Turkey joined the international condemnation of the attack. "We call on all parties to exercise restraint to avoid escalation in the region," Turkey's foreign ministry said. The NATO-led KFOR peacekeeping mission for Kosovo likewise called for restraint. "It is important that facts are established and that those responsible are held accountable and brought to justice," it said in a statement. The force is providing security in the surrounding area and has offered logistical, explosives removal and engineering support to the Kosovo authorities, it added. Animosity between ethnic Albanian-majority Kosovo and Serbia has persisted since the end of the war between Serbian forces and ethnic Albanian insurgents in the late 1990s. Kosovo declared independence in 2008, a move that Serbia has refused to acknowledge. Kurti's government has for months sought to dismantle a parallel system of social services and political offices backed by Belgrade to serve Kosovo's Serbs. Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama on Saturday denounced "the act of sabotage on the critical water supply infrastructure in the Iber-Lepenc Canal" in comments on X, calling it "a serious crime that endangers the lives of Kosovo's citizens and undermines the process of normalising relations in our region". Friday's attack came after a series of violent incidents in northern Kosovo, including the hurling of hand grenades at a municipal building and a police station earlier this week. Kosovo is due to hold parliamentary elections on February 9. ih/ach/giv/jhb/sbk/bc Originally published as Kosovo arrests blast suspects, Serbia denies involvement More related stories Breaking News Big question on fate of Bali 9 Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke will discuss the future of the remaining five Bali Nine prisoners when he travels to Indonesia this week.

According to police, 42-year-old Robert Duffy of Charlestown and 32-year-old Jeremy Folcik of Bridgewater were arrested Saturday on Long Island, after officials noticed the drone on their monitoring systems. “The incident began earlier that evening, at 4:30 p.m., when a Boston Police Officer specializing in real-time crime surveillance detected an Unmanned Aircraft System operating dangerously close to Logan International Airport. Leveraging advanced UAS monitoring technology, the Officer identified the drone’s location, altitude, flight history, and the operators’ position on Long Island,” the Boston Police Department said in a Sunday statement. After rallying officials from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Massachusetts State Police, the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the Federal Communications Commission, and Logan Airport Air Traffic Control, the Boston Police Harbor Patrol Unit was dispatched to the Boston Harbor Islands, where they allegedly found Duffy and Folcik, along with another man on the closed Long Island Health campus. All three attempted to flee on foot, according to police, but the arrested pair were caught and a drone found in their possession. The third man, according to police, is “believed to have fled the island in a small vessel.” Police say that all three were engaging in seriously dangerous behavior. “Operators are prohibited from flying drones over people or vehicles and must be aware of airspace restrictions. Even small drones pose significant risks, including the potential for catastrophic damage to airplanes and helicopters. Near-collisions can cause pilots to veer off course, putting lives and property at risk,” they said. Both Duffy and Folcik will appear in Dorchester District Court on charges of trespassing, police said. This is a developing story and it will be updated.
