All Bomber fans can do right now is cross their fingers, pray, and HOPE [Mike Kelly]'s blueprint is the answer to ending the CFL's current longest Grey Cup drought -- now 18 years and counting. And so with main training camp about to open, we present our annual 10 Question/Issues the Bombers must answer to finally get back to the winner's circle:
If [Lyle Bauer] picking Kelly was the off-season's biggest move, then 1A was Kelly cutting adrift Kevin Glenn, the starting QB in these parts for 4 1/2 years, and then dealing draft picks to Edmonton for Stefan LeFors. Here's the deal: LeFors' CFL credentials scream out 'unproven' and backing him up are Ryan Dinwiddie, Bryan Randall, James Kilian and Darrell Hackney. That doesn't exactly evoke memories of Clements-Hufnagel now, does it?

So there's been plenty not getting done in the garden, and there isn't much to see. The ferns have turned crispy brown, gone dormant prematurely. The hostas are sun-bleached of their true colour, and all the plants look less than perky. Many of the summer-flowering perennials are struggling along, blooming for what seems like mere days instead of the weeks of gentler summers past.
Many Winnipeg gardeners anticipating their home harvest of juicy ripe tomatoes are getting something they didn't bargain for -- a black or brown patch of decay on the bottom of the fruit. It's called blossom-end rot and affects tomato, pepper and eggplants, especially during drought like the one we have been growing through.

The Wings thoroughly outplayed the Nashville Predators at Joe Louis Arena, but they needed Johan Franzen's goal at 1:48 of overtime to carve out a 2-1 victory that was only that close because of [Dan Ellis]'s 52-save performance.
Despite Ellis's heroics, he couldn't prevent Detroit from taking a 3-2 lead in their Western Conference quarter-final. Game 6 is Sunday in Nashville.
Nashville soon developed another headache when Valtteri Filppula broke out of an 11-game scoring drought. Streaking down the left wing, Filppula wired a perfect shot over goalie Dan Ellis's glove and just under the crossbar from just inside the face-off circle at 4:20 of the first period.

A prowl throught Information Network (www.municipalsuppliers.com) reveals several dominant themes. First, governments at all levels are spending to protect the environment, including their fresh water supplies. In British Columbia - currently introducing a "drought action plan" to municipalities - a new University of Victoria study on Canada's ailing urban water systems insists that to be eligible for infrastructure grants, municipalities should have to prove their commitment to water conservation. But perhaps it is unnecessary to expend that anxious effort to conserve water, since Canadians' favourite crop appears to be pavement. Canada ranks fourth in the world with its total of 1,408,800 km of highways. Some of the roads under construction lead to a third theme of news on The Municip...
