He can, it's true," said [Toby], a Winnipeg psychologist. "He's too strong for me. He's something like 130 pounds, but he's good, and I'm limited to what I can do to help him, because he is so strong.
"We have high hopes for him," Toby said. "We're looking at the Canadian national cadet championship. He could have medalled in it last year, but he was too young to compete, so he wrestled in the U.S., instead. We're also looking at the U.S. championships in Fargo this year."
Europe is also in the cards. "There is the possibility of the Youth Wrestling Festival in Vienna, Austria, which WWC head coach Kris Stasiak (former Olympian with the Polish team) is quite keen about him going to," said Toby.

"The board is seriously concerned that several cities in Canada, in addition to the heroin injection site in Vancouver, have planned to distribute drug paraphernalia, including 'crack' pipes, to chronic users," the INCB report says.
Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion has pledged to provide funding for more supervised injection sites, calling the Vancouver project "quite a success," but the Conservative government has been more wary, deferring a decision on whether to extend Insite's Health Canada "exemption" until next December.

She has also expressed interest in photography, acting and art.
Kampusch told the Austria Press Agency she's "already really excited" about what kind of reaction the show will get.
