1st Lt. William Scherer in Local Newspaper in 1943
Picture of Lt. William Scherer, one of the passengers aboard US Air Force C-46A that was declared missing for over 76 years.

Clayton Kuhles of MIA Recoveries, Inc. announced a successful expedition and discovery of the location of US Air Force C-46A #42-96721, missing in action since 1945 when it was lost while on a mission during WWII.

"This brings closure to the families after 77 years," said Clayton Kuhles, founder and president of the private, nonprofit MIA Recoveries, Inc.

After first hearing of MIA Recoveries, Bill Scherer, the son of passenger 1^st Lt. William Scherer, contacted Clayton to ask if he would look for his father's lost aircraft. 

"After we found the crash site and positively identified it," said Clayton, "Bill said that he wished his mother was still alive to hear this great news. She was heartbroken for decades after her husband disappeared."

It Simply Disappeared

The plane was on a routine flight from China to its base in India. On board was a crew of four and nine passengers.  The weather was very bad, with severe turbulence, violent updrafts and crosswinds, and moderate to severe icing along the entire route.  At 1420Z, contact with the aircraft was lost and it was declared missing in flight. This aircraft was never heard from again.

According to the official Missing Air Crew Report, "It simply disappeared". The plane's nickname was Stork. Dead: 13

Bringing Closure

MIA Recoveries, Inc. has been searching for, locating, and recovering MIA American airmen since 2002. Clayton Kuhles and his team have reached 27 crashed aircraft missing for decades, thereby accounting for 279 personnel listed as MIA until then.

Finding Lost Aircraft Previously Listed as Unrecoverable

The U.S. lost hundreds of aircraft in the China-Burma-India theater of operations during WWII. The location of these aircraft and the MIA's remains had previously been deemed "Unrecoverable" by the U.S. Dept. of Defense, due to extreme terrain and no precise known locations where these aircraft went down.

"The reason why these cases are unsolved is because they're so remote and so difficult to get there that most people don't want to make an attempt, much less go there," says Clayton. "These people (families of the missing airmen) don't have closure because no one wants to go there."  See the full interview on YouTube 

More MIAs Can Be Brought Home

Clayton says that his MIA expeditions are mostly self-funded and he receives no funding assistance from the U.S. government. He would be able to bring home more American MIAs and bring closure to the families of even more veterans with funding support. A tax-deductible funding donation to MIA Recoveries, Inc. will help fund these ongoing MIA expeditions and bring closure to more families.

MIA Recoveries, Inc. is a tax-exempt public charity under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Funding donations to MIA Recoveries, Inc. are tax-deductible.

Sara Wilson
CEO of Home Assist Health

With holidays just around the corner, many families are gathering or visiting senior relatives, creating the perfect opportunity to check on the well-being of aging seniors. Travel has been limited the past few years for many families, so some signs that your aging loved ones may need in-home care may have gone unnoticed. 

Sara Wilson, CEO of Home Assist Health, a Phoenix-based nonprofit that serves 1,200 seniors and individuals with disabilities in their homes annually, notes, "Seniors often don't want to ask for help because they are afraid of being put in a long-term care home or being moved from where they are most comfortable, their homes. The good news, many families don't realize seniors can stay in their own home and have help come to them." 

Wilson shares that if you visit senior family members this holiday season and notice the following, it may be time to have a conversation about home care:

10 Signs Your Senior Relative May Need In-Home Care

1. Not keeping up with house cleaning/yard work
2. Missing appointments or meetings/obligations
3. Poor personal hygiene or bladder control issues
4. Difficulty with mobility or standing
5. Car accident or difficulty driving
6. Depression, seclusion or changes in mood
7. Loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy
8. Multiple chronic illnesses they are trying to manage, like diabetes or high blood pressure
9. Gained or lost a significant amount of weight; trouble chewing, swallowing or taking medication
10. Recent fall

Next Steps for Care

If concerned, consider taking the next step by contacting organizations like Home Assist Health that provide free phone interviews and in-home evaluations. Determine if a loved one has insurance for home care, which may come from a Medicaid Long-Term Care benefit, Select Medicare Advantage Plans, or Private Long-Term Care Insurance Plan. For those without home care benefits from insurance, there are other payment methods for accessing care at home. Visit https://homeassisthealth.org to learn more.

Advanced Clean Energy Storage
Simple notional diagram of the Advanced Clean Energy Storage hub green hydrogen project.

Dynapower, a Sensata Technologies company and a global leader in power conversion and energy storage solutions, announced that it has been selected to provide 220 megawatts of IGBT chopper rectifiers to the Advanced Clean Energy Storage hub—powering the production of green hydrogen to accelerate the decarbonization of the Western United States.

Located in Delta, Utah, the Advanced Clean Energy Storage hub will be the world's largest renewable energy storage facility. The hub will capture excess wind and solar energy and—with the help of Dynapower's power conversion systems—convert it to green hydrogen using electrolysis and store it in underground salt caverns. The first two caverns at the hub will store up to 300-gigawatt hours of dispatchable clean energy and feed it back to the grid when it's most needed.

Dynapower's high-power, highly reliable IGBT chopper technology was chosen for this project due to several key advantages, including a high power factor across the input range, compliance with IEEE 519 grid harmonics, a simplified and lower-cost transformer design, low DC ripple, and a rapid response to changes in power generation.

"We're thrilled to support this project and expand the use of clean hydrogen to decarbonize the energy ecosystem," said Adam M. Knudsen, Chief Executive Officer of Dynapower. "Our commitment to advancing a clean energy future is stronger than ever, and we're honored to be able to contribute our expertise to a renewables project of this size and magnitude, paving the way for the future of green hydrogen power and a cleaner planet."

Dynapower brings 60 years of experience in power electronics, U.S.-based manufacturing, world-class service and support, and a proven track record of successful execution to the Advanced Clean Energy Storage hub project. More information about the hub can be found at https://aces-delta.com.

Underground Green Hydrogen Storage

Despite official reassurances that adverse effects of COVID vaccines are rare or mild, some patients still have concerns, and social media is filled with reports. In the winter issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, Jane Orient, M.D., examines the mechanisms of blood clotting and the evidence that vaccines may have an effect.

Experts tend to downplay the risk of blood clots by claiming the risk is greater from the disease, Dr. Orient writes, but some patients are not convinced.

"Finding the objective truth is difficult because of the enormous power asymmetry between government-approved experts and scientists who challenge the official view," she explains.

California bill AB2098, in Dr. Orient's opinion, "restricts free speech of physicians by penalizing them for dissemination of information about COVID-19 that officials deem false. This is just the tip of the iceberg of repressions and harassments that the dissenting physicians or scientists can face daily while having no means of recourse," Dr. Orient states.

Her article explores the mechanism by which the vaccines—including the mRNA vaccines by Pfizer and Moderna as well as the J&J shot—could disrupt the complex blood clotting system, plus a scrutiny of scientific studies and data that manufacturers submitted to regulators. It also considers the "anecdotal" data from physicians, patients, and morticians.

Dr. Orient concludes that the safety signal "is sufficiently strong to provide impetus for further studies of [clotting] phenomena."

The Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons is published by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), a national organization representing physicians in all specialties since 1943.
