Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark are back on North American soil for the first time, with their original line-up, since 1988. I had the chance to catch the tour's second show, at Le National on Sunday March 6th 2011. I need to state something: this was kind of a special show for me to see because I actually saw them on their last tour here; yes, I am talking about the 1988 tour.

A former female Canadian national weight-lifting champion has been arrested for prostitution. Rhonda Lee Quaresma was charged with misdemeanour prostitution in Florida this week. 

Quaresma was arrested after police set up a Sting operation. They contacted a woman going by the name “Mrs. Sparkle” and set up a meeting. At the scheduled place, Bonita Beach, police arrested Quaresma.

Quaresma was Bodybuilding.com’s personal trainer of the month in November 2010. Her court appearance is scheduled March 29th.

A father in Dollard Des Ormeaux won his right to play street hockey in court Thursday. David Sasson successfully contested a $75 fine handed to him for playing street hockey with his son on their street.

A neighbor complained about the game of street hockey to public security. When the security official showed up, Sasson refused to stop the game. The police were then called and Sasson was ticketed.

There is a bylaw against street hockey. However, Sasson points out the bylaw is in place for safety reasons. He says safety was evidently not in question on their quiet crescent street.
