Your damn rights," [RALPH KRUEGER] explains. "There's two sides. There's the Krueger side -- I think I've got about 20 people coming and then my wife's side is the Gibbons family and they'll be bringing another 20.
Well, any story about Ralph Krueger should really begin by spreading out a world map. Krueger's parents emigrated to [Steinbach] from Germany in the mid-'50s and, after schooling at SJR and playing for the MJHL's Monarchs, Krueger headed to the WHL, first with the New Westminster Bruins and then the Calgary Wranglers (where he finished second in team scoring to Kelly Kisio in 1978-79).
"I feel it's as far as I can take the program and after a great finish I'll hand it off to somebody else," Krueger said. "That was my goal when I took over: to put hockey on the map. We weren'...

[...] the people at the AGA will also tell you that the architecture was inspired by the city itself -- a rigid grid of streets and avenues, superimposed on the flowing lines of the river and valley. [...] Whyte Avenue might have more in common with Toronto's Queen Street than it does with Paris' tree-lined avenue. Along the way, I stopped in a few clothing stores to see if I could find a leather jacket and blue jeans to complete the Gene Vincent look. 124 Street Area Later, we trekked across town to the 124 Street area -- the city's "original West End" -- considered by many to be the best part of .

Weather aside, Wimbledon began with a different look. On-court officials, ball boys and ball girls wore smart new blue outfits by Ralph Lauren, and three-time defending champion Roger Federer of Switzerland took Centre Court in a stylish cream-coloured blazer bearing his last name on the breast pocket.
Martina Hingis, playing at Wimbledon for the first time since 2001, won the first set against Ukraine's Olga Savchuk 6-2 before the match was suspended.
Waiting to begin his 13th Wimbledon was Britain's Tim Henman.

It's nice to have moments of truth like that early on in the tournament," said [Venus Williams], seeded No. 11. "I was able to really kind of focus back in, pull in the reins and really realize what I needed to do.
"It's not easy to come on and off" the court, [Roger Federer] said. "You always hope your game is still there and it hasn't left you."
"I didn't feel like I was moving great still, being cautious with the tape on," [Maria Sharapova] said, "but pain wise it felt a lot better."

We have demonstrated what capabilities we possess, although we should put Spain one step above us," Germany team manager Oliver Bierhoff said Friday at the training base in southern Switzerland. "But this was the case against Portugal as well and it doesn't have to be to our disadvantage.
"Now, if I were coach [Torsten Frings] again, I'd put myself in the team," the rugged midfielder said. "I have almost no pain anymore, I have no problems and I think I'll play."
"In 2006, something was missing. This time we hope to bring something along, not only T-shirts with "Danke" written on them," Frings said.

At the Mountain Equipment Co-op tent, chilled attendees made a run on everything from ponchos (the home store sent out multiple shipments, and exhausted its supply after 500) to gloves and socks. "We've got top of the line stuff, and people are grabbing everything," Mountain's Jenn Zoran-Ford said. "So it's been great for us.
Yet, thousands of Festival fans stuck it out to catch the music on the daytime stages. Vancouver slam-folksters The Fugitives, who earned massive buzz at last year's Fringe Festival, received a standing ovation for their transcendent 12:30 set at the Shady Grove. "I'm amazed you all are here," appreciative Fugitive Barbara Adler told the crowd of about 200. "Is it because the rain has made you sink into the marsh, so when you try to leave you can't get out?"
