  • Sal Capone – Intro for Schools
    Introduction to Sal Capone: The Lamentable Tragedy Of for teachers and students From the playwright, Omari Newton: I hope this story makes you all think, laugh and feel inspired to create your own art. Sal Capone is a story about people your age chasing their dreams and fighting to survive some of the pressure associated with growing up. It's also a love letter to Hip Hop culture. I hope you enjoy our show. From the director, Diane Roberts: Theatre is a tactile medium. You feel things as much as you hear and see them. Sal Capone’s characters are ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances. I hope you will be moved by how all of the elements of drama, music, video and movement come together to make you feel the triumphs and tragedies of these potent characters. What is the play about? Sal Capone: The Lamentable Tragedy Of (let’s call it Sal from here-on for short) is about many things and we hope, in watching the play, you will find meanings and themes that we haven’t yet realized are there. In particular, we hope that you will find something about you in the play. The story follows the journeys of a group of friends and Hip Hop crew who are dealing with the fatal police shooting of their friend; a talented but troubled young DJ (inspired by true events that have occurred in Montreal, Toronto, New York, San Francisco and London, UK in recent years and many others that don’t reach mass media – see links in “Resources” section).

    ONTARIO COURT OF JUSTICE DATE: 2019 08 22 BETWEEN: HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN Applicant — AND — B.S. (YO) K.J. (YO) Respondents WATERLOO REGION RECORD CTV, A Division of Bell Media Inc. Intervenors Before Justice K. Katzsch Heard on July 23, 2019 Written Reasons for Judgment released on August 22, 2019 B. Thomas and A. Sethi .......................................... counsel for the Provincial Crown R. Gilliland .................................... Counsel for the Waterloo Record and CTV News KATZSCH J.: [1] The two young offenders in this matter were originally charged with first degree murder in the homicide of Shaun Yorke. Two adult offenders were also charged in relation to the same offence. It is the theory of the Crown that all four males acted in concert to affect a home invasion robbery, which ultimately resulted in the victim’s death. [2] On May 16, 2019, the two youths appeared before this court and entered guilty pleas to the lesser-included offence of manslaughter in relation to their roles in the death of Mr. Yorke. No facts were presented to the court at the time of the plea, as the Crown indicated that they would likely be seeking a publication ban relating to any facts that referenced the adult accused or specific details relating to the homicide. — 2 — [3] The two young offenders are scheduled to complete their sentencing on September 6th, 2019. The preliminary hearing for the two adult accused is set to commence in November 2019, with further dates into December and then January 2020. No dates have been set therefore in relation to a trial in that matter.

Mayor David Miller said yester- day’s shooting appeared to be con- nected to gangs and the drug trade. Police said they had no evidence of this, but did say that the victim was on probation for his role in shooting another man in the head nearly three years ago. Shooting victim Dillan Yhanike Anderson, 21, of Toronto, is shown in an image taken from CITY-TV.

Tours roll across the coun- try like mobile homes in a Florida hurricane. The most memo- rable for this magazine/bar owner were the Warped Tour and Wakestock, where such bands as Bad Religion, Billy Talent, Alexisonfire, Closet Monster, The Trews and Crowned King had audiences in mosh-pit frenzies. At Wakestock, in Wasaga Beach, Ont., Gasoline, Fox Racing, and Bluenotes rocked so hard at their two-day private cottage party that local authorities shut down the stage after Magneta Lane and Flashlight Brown. Poor Moneen didn't get to crush the eardrums of the drunken revellers. That was day one! Day two was an even bigger party with the live music again shut down. The Reason, Moneen and Crowned King owned the patio until Alexisonfire and their crew rolled into party. Gasoline would also like to thank Chuck (see cover story) and other UN officials for making sure that the boys in Sum41 made it back to the Bovine for another cocktail, despite the nearby mortar and gunfire during their Warchild excursion.

  • The Nuclear Bible: the Numerology of “26” & “11” (Date of Super Bowl XLV)
    The Nuclear Bible: The Numerology of “26” & “11” (Date of Super Bowl XLV) Intro: Understanding the numbers 26 & 11 goes a long way into understanding which days to stay home and avoid public places, and who is responsible for the worst the tragedies that humanity has ever experienced. The 2011 Super Bowl date of February 6, 2011, just happen to include both numbers. Interestingly, Road 2611 just happens to be in Texas where Super Bowl XLV will be played! Source: Wikipedia Title/Headline: Farm To Market Road Abstract: Farm to Market Road 2611 begins where FM 2004 ends at State Highway 36 near Jones Creek. The road follows a western path, crossing the San Bernard River and passing the Churchill Bridge Community. The highway intersects FM 2918, an access highway to the River's End Community and the San Bernard Wildlife Refuge. Making a sharp north, then west curve, FM 2611 continues its western path 10 miles (16 km) south of Sweeny, entering Matagorda County and the Cedar Lake Community. The road comes to its end at the intersection of FM 457, connecting Sargent to Bay City (Wikipedia, 2010). 26 & 11: Scrotum Constellation: Messier object M11, a magnitude 7.0 open cluster in the constellation Scutum, also known as the Wild Duck Cluster. Scutum contains several open clusters, as well as a globular cluster and a planetary nebula. The two best known deep sky objects in Scutum are M11 (NGC 6705), the Wild Duck Cluster, a dense open cluster, and M26, another open cluster also known as NGC 6694. The globular cluster NGC 6712 and the planetary nebula IC 1295 can be found in the eastern part of the constellation, only 24 arcminutes apart (Wikipedia, 2010).
