Street dance double for K2
Ellie-Joe Brooks, 13, and Danielle Turner, 14, are normally part of the team, but could not compete as they were on holiday. K2 are the prodigies of talented choreographer David Welch. His older street dance team Karizma Krew were runners up at the UK Championships, in the category for 16 year-olds and over. .
Dragons earn single point on opening weekend
The team is back on the ice tonight at Drumheller Memorial Arena to play the Brooks Bandits. Drumheller Dragons coach Dan Price was surprisingly upbeat following the Dragons’ opening weekend where the team dropped its first two games of the season. The Dragons hosted the Camrose Kodiaks in the team’s home opener on Friday, September 11, and were downed 4-0. On Sunday evening, September 13, the Dragons hosted Fort McMurray and lost 4-3 in overtime. The scoreboard didn’t indicate how close Friday’s game was, according to Price. "Camrose played very well, but I think 4-0 wasn’t indicative of the game," said Price. "I thought they had more chances, but I though our chances were better quality." While the team only generated 24 shots, two of them hit the post. There were also two breakaways and cross-crease empty net the team wasn’t able to capitalize on.
'My cancer treatment was hell': Exclusive extracts from the late
I was born in 1952, the second of five children and the eldest boy. All of us worked hard to win Mum's approval in dance competitions.
By junior high school, everybody knew I was a dancer. I was called 'fag' and beaten up, each time becoming more determined to get those boys back. But it wasn't until five kids attacked me when I was 12 that Dad gave me the tools for revenge.
I spent a couple of months learning martial arts and boxing, and when my father thought I was ready, he drove me to school, demanding I be allowed to fight the boys one by one. Times were different then. I won't deny I was scared - not of getting hurt, but of letting Dad down. I beat all five boys that day and as each left bloody and bruised, I could see flickers of pride cross Dad's face. .
'This time, it's to win'
Projet Montréal, a grassroots, pro-environment municipal party that came out of nowhere four years ago to win a seat on Montreal city council, isn't running this time simply to get its message out, party leader and mayoral candidate Richard Bergeron told the host of a popular morning news show yesterday. "Advancing ideas was for 2005," Bergeron told LCN news channel host Jean-Luc Mongrain. "This time, after four years ... it's to win. "It may seem a bit ambitious, but what the public has to understand is how alike the other two parties are." Bergeron's appearance followed that on Wednesday of the leaders of "the other two parties," Mayor Gérald Tremblay, of Union Montreal, and Vision Montreal mayoral candidate Louise Harel, in what had been described in the media as a debate but what producers of the show said was a "face to face" encounter.
Bombers come up short
Midway through the first period, SHS senior running back Justin Miller suffered a serious injury to his left leg and was taken away in an ambulance. Miller entered Friday's contest with 543 yards on 97 carries. "We were throwing kids around out there," Sears said of his team's physical play. "We hung right there with them. With two minutes to go in the ballgame, they made a play and we didn't." Most of the action took place in the first two drives of the game. Sherrard scored on the opening possession with Justin Miller's 1-yard run just little more than two minutes in to make it a 7-0 Tigers' lead. On the Bombers' initial possession, senior running back Brian Elliott found the end zone on a 2-yard plunge, capping off a seven-play drive to knot it up at 7-7 with 6:39 showing in the first. Up until the final three minutes of play, both teams struggled to get momentum.
