Phil has a question:
Do you think that Clark Kent and the Undertaker are doing their jobs.
Sal sent an e-mail to Clark Kent asking:
Could you please comment on why Stolz is leaving Alberta and what you have done to try and improve the thoroughbred breeding industry in Alberta.
Phil has a question:
Do you think Sal will get a response.
Phil sent an e-mail to Stolz Thoroughbreds asking?
Why are you leaving Alberta for Ontario:
What efforts did CTHS Alberta make to keep you in Alberta:
What efforts did Horse Racing Alberta Make to keep you in Alberta.
Phil received a very prompt very tactful response from Cassandra at Stolz Thoroughbreds. No blame was placed on any organization in Alberta other then pointing out that Ontario is a better market for their product and that an opportunity presented itself that they couldn’t refuse.
The highlights of her comments:
“As for us and our move, we’re just trying to grow and have more opportunities for our stallions. We think Ontario is a better market for future growth of what we’re trying to accomplish. Plus we lived out there when we first started with this and we just really liked the life we had out there. “
“We are still planning to race our Alberta bred horses out here and will continue to support the yearling sales as well. We will just be standing our stallions in Ontario since it seems to be a better fit for them, particularly Medallist in his last breeding years.”

This next paragraph will infuriate almost every Philadelphian who reads it. For decades, the city’s fans were defined by bad behavior, isolated incidents that became a collective blight on the populace. Philly fans, the shorthand went, were not just vicious and vulgar — they were dangerous. They pelted Santa Claus with snowballs. They chucked batteries at St. Louis Cardinals outfielder J.D. Drew. They cheered the injury of Dallas Cowboys wideout Michael Irvin. They booed Mike Schmidt and Allen Iverson and Donovan McNabb. They comported themselves with such rowdiness that Veterans Stadium, the former home of the Phillies and Eagles, featured a holding cell with a judge available to sentence unruly patrons.
But this paragraph will relieve almost every Philadelphian who has not yet chucked their phone into a wall. That reputation is changing, according to interviews with radio hosts, rock stars and regular folks, who described the emergence of a fanbase enlivened by the possibility of success rather than embittered by the inevitability of failure. These are kinder, gentler Philly fans – as far as that goes. “Don’t get it twisted out here,” said Eric Fink, a 34-year-old from Northeast Philadelphia. “We’re still the same crazy people. We’re just doing this a little bit differently.”

The American Indian is of the soil, whether it be the region of forests, plains, pueblos, or mesas. He fits into the landscape, for the hand that fashioned the continent also fashioned the man for his surroundings. He once grew as naturally as the wild sunflowers, he belongs just as the buffalo belonged.

Sitting Bull
Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. One thing we know: our god is also your god. The earth is precious to him and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.

Phil’s reprising:
“I’m saying this bittersweetly: I’m one of the last ones to stand,” Mr. Drape said.
He continues a rich tradition at The Times. Horse racing was a field for the literary sports writing of Red Smith, Steve Cady and Joe Durso, Mr. Drape’s immediate predecessor. The sport doesn’t hold the cultural currency it once did, but the subjects Mr. Drape reports on, such as horse deaths and doping offenses, have relevance beyond the track.
