A final fire on December 31, 1984, broke out in PK Egans Restaurant and also affected neighboring businesses. In 1963 and 1965, Canby had severe flood damage. The 1963 flood started when 5.23 inches fell within three hours. The 1965 flood was due to melting snow and several inches of rain. In 1979, Canby had 146 businesses in town with a population of approximately 2,154. Since then, Canby has had businesses come and go, and the pop- ulation has shrunk a bit to around 1,800. Recently, the city has improved their municipal pool, infrastruc- ture, and purchased the Canby Theatre. The city keeps its downtown looking nice and has expanded its opportunities for industrial businesses. 4 Historical Highlights How Canby Lee Savold Minnesota Boxing Hall of Famer was named Lee Savold was born in Canby John Swenson was responsible March 22, 1916, and was a force to for naming the city of Canby in be reckoned with during the 1940s 1874.

"Vive Carpentier! ' came from a mighty chorus of voices. Paris was still in an ecstasy of enthusiasm; my contest against Joe Beckett, so swift, sensational, dramatic, incredible, remained the wonder of the moment, and as I looked from my window on to the street below I shook and shivered. My father, a man of Northern France hard, stern, unemotional clutched the hand of my mother, whose eyes were streaming wet. Albert, also my two other brothers arid sister made a strange group. They were transfixed. Francois Descamps was pale; his ferret-like eyes blinked meaninglessly. Only my dog, Flip, now I come to think of it all understood for he gave himself over to howls of happiness. This day of unbounded joy so burnt itself into my mind that I shall remember it for all time. "Georges, mon ami," exclaimed my father, " no such moment did I ever think would come into our lives." And I understood. My life, as I look back upon it, has been a round of wonders.

  • Outside the Box: Creative Ideas for Common Equipment
    Outside the Box: Creative Ideas for Common Equipment Dr. Scott Klungseth, Director Beresford PRCE Thinking Outside-the-Box for Standards: Creative Ideas, Common Equipment Session is designed to help elementary/middle school classroom and PE teachers, and recreation professionals to experience “Out of the Box” activities to integrate hula hoops, scooters, and bean bags in meeting national/state standards. This equipment is common in programs – but many lack experience on how versatile this equipment is. Each activity is designed to help students succeed in all three learning domains. Each lesson has the potential for math, science, or language arts interaction. Many times in conducting professional development sessions for pre-school and elementary teachers, recreation leaders, and physical education teachers they indicate that they have many many hula hoops but do not know how to teach hula hooping or know other activities to use the hoops for. Additionally, they indicate that they have many scooters and noodles available to them but lack activities to integrate them. Below is a series of activities that can be created for general physical activity or specific physical education lessons. Many of which include standards, spelling, reading, and math lesson integrations. These are only basic descriptions. If you would like further lesson ideas please feel free to contact us at: [email protected] Hula Hoop Ring Toss With or without distance math integration This is an oversized ring toss game.

PE provides opportunities for the development of physical, personal, social and intellectual skills, plus it encourages co-operation, positive actions, positive thinking, tolerance and respect for others. PE promotes the undertaking of exercises that can be continued into adulthood as part of a healthy lifestyle. Most children follow a generalised development of movements and skills – a natural progression develops from the simple to the more complex. Initially children learn basic movements within the context of their own body then gradually begin to integrate these movements with one another. PE sessions need to allow for variety
