Dukes within a point of second place Both teams were sharp—sticking tightly to the game plan—each player following his role. The first five goals in the game were scored with a man advantage. Fortunately three of them were scored by Dukes (Guillaume Naud with a pair, Elliott Richardson with the other). But the Whitby Fury [...]
Council says it will make the choices about what stays and what goes Amajority of council, it seems, knows best.

Honestly, if I were being paid to do nothing, nothing is exactly what I’d be doing. I’d welcome a something-for-nothing job. Bring it on. I am a former federal government employee. Okay, insert your laughter here. I retired early, in 1996. I wanted to go back to school. I had a dream-plan for myself. But, [...]
