Students OK after canoeing mishap
2008
Twenty-one Grade 10 and 11 students from Gleneagle secondary's COAST program were participating in an annual paddle and portage trip through the Bowron Lakes Chain, about 120 km east of [Quesnel], in which the students break into two groups and meet at various rendezvous points along the route. Monday evening, two canoes overturned on the Cariboo River after hitting a submerged log, forcing one group of 10 students to set up camp with teacher Krista Bogen. When that group failed to meet with the first group at a rendezvous point, Quesnel RCMP was called.

\Generation Bataclan\ mourning after the Paris attacks
2015
New information is suggesting that Stade de France, the national soccer stadium, could have been a scene of mass carnage. Some 80,000 fans were packed into the stadium when suicide attackers who couldn't get inside detonated their explosive vests. Explosions were picked up by microphones, but play continued. French President Hollande who was at the game ordered the stadium locked down, determining it was the safest place for fans. Authorities suspect one suicide attack was planned for inside the stadium, to prompt the crowd to flee outside where two more attackers waited. Even players were kept in the dark until the all-clear was given after the final whistle. The area targeted on Friday night is an up-and-coming neighbourhood with many bars and clubs, we're right in the middle of it tonight, venues that were packed with a young and diverse crowd and as a result, many of the victims of the attacks were under 30. [Adrienne Arsenault] looks at a generation now mourning after an unspeakable tragedy. Adrienne? [PETER MANSBRIDGE], as this country still identifies the dead, it also is identifying what it is about this country that the dead represents and why the killers chose them. Outside his mother's flower store, far too many fresh-cut offerings. All for Gilles Leclerc whose mom had called the crowds out of desperation. Her son, still listed today, is among the missing from the Bataclan. Was he just unconscious? That's him at the concert. Surely he'd be okay. Could someone find him? Only minutes before this gathering, news came that his body had been identified, his tattoos unmistakable. All these faces of the gone and all these faces of those left behind.

DeBary, state debate St. Johns commercial plan
2007
The state is challenging the city's land-use change of 117 acres along the St. Johns River near Fort Florida Road. Planners at the Department of Community Affairs have no problem with the proposed 250-home subdivision called Country Estates at River Bend on 107 acres. However, they say a proposed 10-acre commercial site for a possible 50-wet-slip marina, 200-boat dry storage warehouse and a 15,000-square-foot commercial center violates state and county regulations that protect the river, threatened species and wildlife habitat. The amendment is a very intense land-use designation,\" department attorney Leslie Bryson said in her opening statements before Administrative Law Judge D.R. Alexander. \"Based upon data and analysis of the Wekiva River Aquatic Preserve, Outstanding Florida Waters designation and the Volusia County Manatee Protection Plan, this is not a suitable use for this area.\"

The respectful and the radical
2008
The staging was well done by the Semper Oper Ballet, and at its heart was Natalya Sologub. I fell in love with this Mariinsky ballerina, with her delicacy, her emotional clarity, her exquisite and intelligent feet, when I first saw her as the heroine of Ratmansky's Cinderella in St Petersburg. In London a few years later she gave a first performance as Aurora, noble, radiant. In this debut as Nikiya, the eponymous bayadere, she has the vulnerability, the dramatic grace and the academic elegance the role demands - and she is superb. (The great confrontation with the Rajah's daughter had a fine frenzy, and Britt Juleen was properly haughty and distraught as the imperious Hamzatti.) Jiri Bubenicek was a bounding Solor, his turban proving something of a candle-snuffer to emotion. From the ensemble, serious playing, serious dancing (the Shades very well mannered).
