Sailors recount their life-saving rescue by Carnival cruise ship
Just a week after Carnival Paradise rescued a group of refugees from an adrift vessel near Cuba, another Carnival Cruise Line ship's crew sprang into action to make a dramatic rescue on the other side of the world. Carnival Splendor was sailing south of New Caledonia in the South Pacific during an eight-day cruise from Sydney when the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre in Noumea alerted them of a distress call from a disabled catamaran carrying four people and three dogs. Related: Video: Carnival cruise ship rescues refugees in distress Carnival Splendor was five hours away from the catamaran and immediately rushed to their aid in the middle of the night, as cruise ships will always do when they learn of anyone in peril at sea. One of the rescued couples, who feared for their lives while stranded on board the disabled catamaran, have since recounted the frightening ordeal and the cruise ship's extraordinary response, in a touching letter addressed to the entire Carnival Cruise Line crew. Sign up for the Come Cruise With Me newsletter to save money on your next (or your first) cruise. Carnival Cruise Line Brand Ambassador John Heald shared the letter from rescued sailors Juli and Ivan on his popular Facebook page that's followed by more than 600,000 Carnival cruisers. "To all the Carnival crew, we are Juli and Ivan, two Argentinians 25 years old, traveling around the world for one year. We got the opportunity of crossing from Australia to Fiji in a catamaran, a bit more than a month ago, and from what you all know, it didn't end as expected," the letter began. The sailors detailed how they ended up adrift at sea hundreds of miles from land.

The sailors reported contacting every coast station they could, but did not receive a reply for hours until the voice of Carnival Splendor Captain Eduardo Ferrone brought them hope. "After two hours with no news, we received a call from your captain, saying he knew about our situation and that by doubling their speed in the middle of the storm, could reach us in just five hours. That was and will [for]ever be the best notice of our lives," the letter emphasized. Be the first to see the best deals on cruises, special sailings, and more. Sign up for the Come Cruise With Me newsletter. "After 5 hours, hoping the catamaran didn't sink because of the mast hitting us on every wave, we received the second-best call of our lives, from your captain asking us to drop the first flare, and straight away confirming he could see us," the letter continued. Finally, Carnival Splendor reached them at 3 a.m., swiftly bringing them aboard the cruise ship and saving their lives. But what Carnival crew members did for them did not end there. "What followed was just beyond reality," the letter continued. "This boat and its crew not only saved us but gave us all kindness, warmth, smiles, and attention which made recovering a completely different experience and a much easier one. There are no words to thank you all for being part of this recovery and exceeding expectations. Human values on board showed us better, and for that, we will be forever thankful."

"Special thanks to the Captain, Eduardo Ferrone, for being our guiding light in the middle of the ocean, giving us hope by making the call to save us and taking us back to land," the emotional letter read. The rescued sailors went on to thank many other crew members who not only made sure they were safe, but who received them with exceptional kindness and concern for their health, well-being, and happiness. "To all of you, thanks for the warm words and treatment, this would have been a different story if it wasn't for you," they added. "We will forever be grateful to Carnival Cruise Line."

Jesse Colin Young death: Youngbloods singer dies at 83
Jesse Colin Young, the singer-songwriter who led the rock band the Youngbloods, has died. He was 83. The band's biggest hit 'Get Together' was initially released in 1967, but received renewed interest after being used in a radio announcement by the National Conference of Christians and Jews in 1969, and went on to reach the top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Young's soulful vocal and the song's entreaty that 'Everybody get together' and 'Try to love one another right now' made it an anthem of the hippie era. Young's wife and manager Connie Young announced he died at home in Aiken, South Carolina on Sunday, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Young was born Perry Miller in Queens, New York on November 22, 1941. His parents, originally from Lynn, Massachusetts, were both fans of classical music and encouraged their son to learn piano. In 1959, he won a scholarship to attend Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, and studied classical guitar there until he was expelled. He attended Ohio State University for a semester, but later transferred to New York University so that he could perform as part of the burgeoning Greenwich Village folk scene. He chose a stage name that combined the outlaws Jesse James and Cole Younger, and Colin Chapman, founder of the Lotus sports car company. Young released his debut album, The Soul of a City Boy, in 1964 and the follow-up Young Blood in 1965. Young then met folk guitarist Jerry Corbitt and the pair decided to form a duo known as the Youngbloods to tour Canada. They later added guitarist and pianist Lowell "Banana" Levinger and drummer Joe Bauer to the group, becoming the house band for the Cafe Au Go Go night club in Greenwich Village. In 1967, the group released their debut album The Youngbloods. The record included their version of 'Get Together', which had been written by the singer-songwriter Chet Powers. The song became their signature hit. The group released a second album Earth Music just a few months later and became prolific, releasing three more albums in the next few years: Elephant Mountain in 1969, Good and Dusty in 1971 and High on a Ridge Top in 1972. After the band split, Young continued as a solo artist. He released 15 more solo albums, most recently Dreamers in 2019. He was married twice. He had two children, Juli and Cheyenne, with his first wife Suzi Yong. Juli was the subject of the title song from Young's fourth and most successful solo album, 1973's Song for Juli. Young met his second wife, Connie Darden, in the 1980s. They also have two children, Tristan and Jazzie, who are both musicians.

Juli Buehler to Retire From WLUK in Green Bay
WLUK news director Juli Buehler has announced her retirement after 45 years. Buehler has been the ND at WLUK since 1995. "Juli has had a truly remarkable journey. Many strong journalists across the country have passed through here and have benefited from her involvement in their lives,' said Jay Zollar, vice president and general manager of WLUK Fox 11 and WCWF CW14. 'Fox 11 would not be what it is today if it were not for Juli's investment of her passion and experience." She is the recipient of numerous awards, including The Associated Press Carol Brewer Award, and her induction into the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Silver Circle in 2016. "I am appreciative of all the many opportunities WLUK-TV and Sinclair Media (the parent company of WLUK), have afforded me,' said Buehler. 'It has been an incredible journey with colleagues who have become lifelong friends, and newsroom adventures that are lifelong memories. This career has been a gift." In her previous roles, Buehler wrote and produced for the Voice of America, based in Washington, D.C. She also worked as a reporter and anchor at television newsrooms in Rochester Minnesota and Eau Claire Wisconsin and as a producer in New Haven, Connecticut. Under Buehler's leadership, the content creation teams of WLUK embarked on many Northeast Wisconsin 'firsts,' from launching the market-leading four-and-a-half-hour morning news program, "Good Day Wisconsin," to network affiliation changes, Super Bowl coverage, national political conventions, and lifestyle programs. She was an integral part of the team that created FOX 11 Packers Family Night, along with the football organization, as well as advising on the purchase of a property across from Lambeau Field, now known as the Fox 11 Field House. She has served on the executive board of the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association and played a part in advocating for access and transparency between elected officials, the court system and journalists.
