Ruiter Valley Land Trust, the first of its kind in Quebec and the “mother of them all.” Today there are more than a dozen conservation groups in the Townships, a number which continues to grow.Mulcair said the acquisition will allow for the creation of the Quebec leg of the Appalachian Trail, which follows the mountain chain as far south as Springer Mountain in Georgia.Some 3 million people used the Appalachian Trail last year.“Sustainable development and economic development are not at all incompatible,” he said, noting the growing interest in nature and nature-related activities.After being handed the symbolic key to the property, Renaud expressed pride in being a part of the largest conservation project in eastern Canada.He called on businesses in the region to create a regional finance committee to raise $2 million for future property acquisitions.“My hope is what Domtar has done will set an example,” Charest said.“And inspire others to do the same.” In fact the conservation effort is far from over.Nature Conservancy and local groups are aiming to obtain another 10,000 acres, with the objective of creating a 25,000 acre core conservation area, providing wide-ranging species like the moose and the black bear with the living space they need.Other acqui sitions are already in the planning stages.On top of that, Nature Conservancy will be working with the Appalachian Corridor to establish a stewardship committee, which will oversee the manage ment of the land.The exact structure ol that stewardship committee has not yel been determined.“This isn’t the end, this is the beginning,” said ACA’s general manager Terri Monahan.“This is when the work starts.” Brief Bury senior likely died after fall: report The preliminary autopsy results are in for Evelyne Kirkpatrick, the 75-year-old Bury woman found dead last weekend.Const.Louis-Philippe Ruel says Kirkpatrick fractured her cranium, likely after a fall.“She had many cats and we think she may have been looking for one in the barn when she had the accident,” said Ruel.page 8 Friday, August 6, 2004 RECORD Target Conservation Area Satnl-HyaantlK?Sutton Mounts CV Target Property NCC Property Other organisation(s) \

Charest both noted that protecting wild areas in the north is relatively easy.But in southern Quebec, where most Quebecers live, it’s a big challenge to find, and then protect, large tracts of wilderness.It’s also where the greatest biodiversity is found.From all of the years of studying the Sutton Mountains, environmental groups have discovered a number of threatened and endangered species, such as the spring salamander and wild garlic.The land, which includes Mount Echo and Singer Mountain, has belonged to Domtar for the last 50 years.However the paper company’s cutting practices in the 1970’s and after the 1998 ice storm raised the ire of local residents, who went so far as to garner 12,000 names on a petition to protest Domtar’s cutting of ice storm damaged forest.“It’s a great day,” said Michael Herman, who headed up the movement.“I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time.” Domtar’s president Raymond Royer said Domtar is committed to sound forestry practices, adhering to a number of different international standards.He said the 23 million acres Domtar still owns in Canada and the US are all properly certified.“It is essential to preserve the wealth of our natural resources for future generations,” Royer said.“That is why Domtar adopted a management philosophy which favors sustainable growth.” “The community never let go and

Woodward Stores of Canadian sperm in sperm banks across the country are drying up, prompting hopeful parents to soon turn entirely to American sperm.Since Canada’s Assisted Human Reproduction Act made it illegal to pay for reproductive tissues, donors are staying away in droves, said Holly Fowler of Xytex, one of the largest North American sperm banks.“We’ve had so much trouble we’ve had to suspend sperm collection operations in Toronto,” she said.Xytex used to pay $65 per donation and sold the treated sperm for $220 to $360 per half-millilitre.Now it has to rely on donors’ altruism - something that isn’t working, she said.There are only about 12 months worth of Canadian sperm left at Xytex.Supplies from “more desirable” men will run out much sooner than that, said Fowler.A loophole in the act allows Canadians to pay for sperm and eggs from the U.S., where supplies are strong because donors are paid.About 1.5 litres of sperm flow across the American border annually in 0.5 ml frozen samples, Fowler said.We should expect cross-border traffic of donors as well, said Klause Rodgaard of Scandinavian Cryobank.“People from Germany, Sweden and Norway travel to Denmark to inseminate because we have legislation that allows anonymous donors,” he said.In December, sperm shortages prompted an Australian fertility clinic to offer Canadian men a free trip - worth about $6,000 - as an incentive to donate sperm there.Traffic in eggs is more complicated because they can’t be frozen and shipped north.The situation is impossible for infertile women, said Beverly Hanck, of the Infertility Awareness Association of Canada.“I know a 27-year-old girl with premature ovarian failure,” she said.“It came as a total shock to her.“There are no eggs in Canada.She can 1 Ferry subsidy

researcher Dr.Jacques Pepin, one of the authors of the study and Dr.Maurice Roy said a number of measures are being taken to curb the spread of the disease.C.Difficile: Cont’d from PageJ New research published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal two days ago says the epidemic is behind the deaths of 100 people in the region’s hospitals over the last 18 months.University of Sherbrooke researcher Dr.Jacques Pepin, one of the authors of the study, blames the epidemic on three key factors.“The first cause is an older population in our hospitals,” Pepin told a crowd of reporters gathered at the Hotel Dieu yesterday afternoon.“The elderly are more vulnerable to C.difficile.” Pepin suggested the second factor was a more virulent strain of C.difficile, adding the cases they have diagnosed in the past year have been far more severe.The third factor Pepin says is a structural problem.“These are old hospital buildings, many were built in the 1950s, and unfortunately that’s a big part of the problem,” Pepin said.“We have patients living in an environment where there are four people to a room and only two to three bathrooms on a floor.All this makes them more susceptible to the infection.” Pepin says good hygiene is crucial, but the problem runs deeper.“Hand washing is important, but it is no magic wand,” said Pepin.“There are no simple solutions.To correct the problem, we need to make changes in our infrastructure and investments for renovations to our hospitals.” At a federal level, Pepin insists more research needs to be done to treat C.difficile, symptoms which include diarrhea, fever, dehydration, colitis and abdominal cramps.In extreme cases, the infection can lead to death.“There is an urgent need tor more research,” said Pepin “The.treatments are the same as when I wa> a student back in 1979.They need to evolve.” Dr.Maurice Roy, director of professional services at the Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke (CHUS), says the intestinal bug has hit the Sherbrooke hospitals hard in the last year, but that the number of cases are dropping.“The number of cases was increasing steadily till December and hit a peak at the end of February and early March when there were 50 cases,” said Roy.But Roy emphasized the number of peo pie infected has steadily declined and that an Infection Control Committee spearheaded by Dr.Sophie Michaud has kept a close monitor of the bug.“We have noticed a constant gradual de cline and with the preventive measures we have put in place we want to maintain that decline,” said Roy, adding he’s seen a 50 per cent decrease in cases in the last few months.Roy also said the CHUS has spent some $600,000 on preventative measures this year alone and plans to spend more in the future.Some of those measures include a review of disinfection procedures, the purchase of more effective cleaning products such as VIROX and new medical equipment.The director general of the CHUS, Jean-Pierre Chicoine, says it’s important for people to know this is not an isolated problem happening at the CHUS.“It’s not just in Sherbrooke, it’s all over Quebec,” said Chicoine.“Bacteria that is re sistant to antibiotics is unfortunately a problem we will see for generations to come.” At a separate press conference held in West Bronte yesterday.Premier Jean Charest says the provincial government is looking into the situation.“Obviously it’s a source of preoccupation for us and we are taking it very seriously,” said Charest.“We'll look at all the factors identified and act on them as quickly as we can ’’ ORIGINAL

Vallières was available for comment at press time.In an interview on Tuesday, llemond said the present system is antiquated and needs an upgrade worth Si.4 million.He said some water mains date back to the 1940s and the reservoir uses a primitive wooden float inside that is linked to an outside metal arrow on a pole to indicate the water level."If the arrow is low, then we have a lot of water,” he said.“If the arrow is high, then there is little water.We have no computerized detection system for the water level and no central pressure gauges to determine a problem.“Our workers had to work on a trial and error basis in their search for a leak.” He said engineers hired by the town to find the problem suspect the dated filtration and pumping station near the Danville river is not delivering enough water to match the residents’ needs.“If that’s the case, we may have to impose permanent restrictions on water use to make sure we have enough," he said.“That means not allowing pools to be filled up or lawns and gardens being watered until we can get a new system running.“With the slowness of government help these days, a new system could take years.” A deteriorating corner of the concrete reservoir.By Stephen McDougall Special to The Record Danville No leaks have been found in the Danville water system and there is enough water to reinstate full service to all residents, town manager Michel Lecours said Thursday.“Our reservoir is not losing water and our probe of two large mains in the downtown core showed no leaks in the system,” he said.This is good news for residents who had to put up with low pressure and in some cases no water at all for over five days.The water problem was detected last Thursday when the 224,000 gallon town reservoir was discovered to be empty and pressure had dropped in most water mains.Town officials suspected a major leak and shut off mains temporarily in most sectors to check the pressure.Lecours said the theory of a large leak is now losing favour at the town hall.“We still have not ruled out the possibility of a leak, but the chance of finding one now has gone down to .01 percent.” Lecours said no contamination has been found in the water, so the town has lifted a boil-water warning that was issued to most residents earlier this week.But he added the warning still stands in the town’s eastern sector - known as the red sector to town officials - where water was shut off for over five days.The sector is south of Grove St.and east of Water St.Residents there had no water to cook, clean, wash themselves or flush the

Lecours.“For now, they still have to boil their water for at least five minutes and we will continue to supply them sanitation water by truck to their green bins and drinking water in 18 liter containers at the town hall.“We expect the tests results for that sector soon and if they are positive, then we can lift the red sector boil-water warning.” Meanwhile, town mayor Jacques Hémond met

the highest order, .having a college of liberal arts and a program of graduate studies.When the concept of universities first became popular among the European elite several centuries ago, the educational concept centered on a well-rounded education.When such institutions were established in North America attention was also given to the physical development of students.At the end of the 19th century, North American universities began to foster school teams that allowed the school’s better athletes represent the university in competition against rival institutions.Colleges soon took a major role in the development of sport in the United States.Almonte native James Naismith invented the game of basketball in 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts.His invention was part of his duties as a physical education teacher at Springfield College.In Canada, university teams were among the leaders in sports and often competed for both the Stanley and Grey Cups prior to the advent of the

basketball and hockey games are played.Such events as March Madness and the BCS Football Bowl provide fans with outside entertainment but do little to promote the educational well being of the student-athletes involved.The term student-athlete is a misnomer in most big-time American schools where won-lost records and gate and TV revenue are considered more important figures than grade-point-average.At the present time three former coaches are suing schools that fired them for inappropriate behaviour.There were role models for young athletes, men and women who disciplined when needed and whose behaviour was exemplary to say the least.This past week three American MONDAY TO SUNDAY After 3 p.m.9 holes *12’ 18 holes *17" After 6 p.m.Unlimited *11" athletes were in the news for their misdeeds and it was interesting to see how the colleges handled each case.Marcus Vick, brother of the Atlanta Falcons’ star quarterback Michael Vick, pleaded guilty to drunk driving charges.His school Virginia Tech took quick action against Vick, suspending from playing football for at least a year.Readmittance to the university is contingent on Vick’s successful completion of a drug education and counseling program.Athletic director Jim Weaver said he told Vick any further criminal, athletic or university violations will result in Vick’s permanent dismissal from Virginia Tech sports.The suspension “is a stiff penalty,” Virginia Tech president Charles Steger said.“Vick won’t play this year and loses that year of eligibility.If there is any more trouble, his Virginia Tech career is effectively ended.” A contrite Vick accepted his punishment like a man.“I have learned a great deal from the mistakes I have made,” said Vick in a written statement.“I will work hard to earn respect as an athlete and a person.I understand that I had a responsibility to conduct myself appropriately at all times and will work to do that.I am asking that Virginia Tech, and the other people who support me, not give up on me.” The first offender program will require Vick to perform 24 hours of community service, undergo drug counseling and random drug tests, and give up his driver’s license for an additional six months.The 20-year-old has had a series of run-ins with the law this off season.In May, he was convicted on three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor after he and two teammates gave alcohol to 14- and 15-year-old girls at the players’ apartment.He was acquitted of a charge of having sex with one of the girls and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $2,250.The reckless driving and marijuana possession charges were filed against Vick last month after an early morning traffic stop on Interstate 64 in New Kent, Kent County.He was clocked on radar at 86 mph, 21 mph above the speed limit, reported state police.The traffic stop led to the marijuana possession charge.Finally Virginia Tech had enough and put Vick’s career on hold while he tries to put his life back in order.It was the right thing to do, although a little late.Three other football players, from the University of Miami and Florida State respectively, were reinstated after criminal charges were dropped.Miami’s Antral Rolle was involved in a fight in a street near campus earlier this month and resisted arrest, cursing and swinging his arms in an attempt to free himself and forcing officers to call for backup help.Along with the felony charge, Rolle was charged with disorderly conduct and re sisting an officer without violence, both misdemeanors.He was suspended indefinitely from the team after the arrest.Miami last week decided to admit star recruit Willie Williams, a 6-foot-2, 225-pound linebacker who had not disclosed his lengthy arrest record when he agreed to join the Hurricanes.The school said Williams would have to abide by several special academic conditions.Williams pleaded no contest earlier this summer in two separate incidents that occurred during a recruiting trip to the University of Florida.He was charged with setting off fire extinguishers at his hotel and a misdemeanor battery charge for hugging a woman without consent.He had been suspended from the team when he was arrested at his home Jan.17.He will not be allowed to play in the season opener at Iowa on Sept.4 as part of his punishment.Finally Florida State coach Bobby Bowden reinstated offensive lineman Bobby Meeks on Thursday after a county court dropped felony charges stemming from a scuffle outside a nightclub earlier this month.“The incident as reported in the media is out of character for him,” Bowden said.“He does not drink and he has never been in trouble.” Bowden knows a lot about character, he has more than his share at Florida State.He once said that there were two sets of rules at Florida State, one for the students and one for the athletes.He added that there were two rules for athletes at FSU, one for the regular athletes and one for the football team.The FSU players act as if they are above the law, their graduation rate is pitiful and Bowden is acclaimed as colorful and a genius when really he is a poor excuse for an university coach.Canadian universities can not compare to our neighbors to the south in athletic ability or entertainment value but we graduate student-athletes and have higher priorities in place. RECORD SPORTS Friday, August 6, 2004 page 13 Esks’ Tucker a rancher - no bull By Vicki Hall CanWkst News Service EDMONTON It’s a matter up for debate in the Edmonton Eskimos' dressing room.Is Jason Tucker really a rancher, or is all that cowboy talk simply a lot of bull?“I’m probably going to go visit him and see if this ranch is for real,” says fellow receiver Derrell Mitchell.“I just want to see him in action dealing with the cows and all that." Offensive co-ordinator Danny Maciocia also has his doubts about Tucker, the slick professional football player sidelining as a rancher.At first glance, so did Jason Maas.The Eskimos’ quarterback couldn’t picture Tucker tending to his cattle, but that perception changed after his first conversation with the acrobatic pass-catcher.“He’s as laid back as anyone I’ve ever met,” Maas says.“I think as a rancher you probably have to be like that.And he has a southern drawl when he speaks, so I’m sure that goes hand-in-hand with ranching.You look at Jason, and you can’t imagine him being a rancher.But once you get through talking to him, yeah.He’s definitely one of those guys you can see doing that and enjoying himself.” Once informed about the doubters in his midst, Tucker offered to provide proof of the 53-hectare ranch he owns with more than 200-head of cattle in Gatesville, Tex.“What’s not to believe?” he says, incredulously.“Maybe I need to bring in some pictures one day.I’m a rancher and a football player.” So what is it about raising cattle that appeals to the 28-year-old?After all, he didn’t start ranching until a few years ago around the time his fortunes failed with the Dallas Cowboys.“You just go out there and relax, mess with your cows, feed them, vaccinate them and brand them,” says Tucker, who just made a handsome profit by selling 102 calves.“Some of the bulls, you have to castrate them when you don’t want them breeding.You know, those kinds of things." When Tucker isn’t busy with his cows, he switches his attention to messing with defensive backs.And what a mess he creates.Tucker averages the highest gain per catch in the Canadian Football League, at 28 yards.He reeled in three passes last week against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for 175 yards.“He’s such a talented receiver," Maas says.“There is no weakness in him." Due to the plethora of talent in the Eskimos’ receiving corps.Tucker has just 20 catches this season.But his yardage total of 560 is good for third in the league behind Montreal Alouettes’ slotback Ben Cahoon and B.C.Lions’ slotback Geroy Simon.His numbers are higher than the three other big-name Eskimo receivers: Terry Vaughn, Ed Hervey, and Mitchell.Tucker just waives his hand dismissively at the mere mention of the CFL statistics package.“Ah, well, you know,” Tucker says.“I’m not looking at the stats.I’m just going out there and having fun.It doesn’t matter who is making the catches or who's getting the points.As long as we’re winning, that’s the main thing.That’s just the way I am.I’ve never been a selfish person.That’s just my character." Unselfishness is the chief reason for Tucker’s popularity in the dressing room.He never whines about the number of times the ball is thrown to him.Ever.“He didn’t even have one catch in the Ottawa game,” says Maciocia.“You would have thought, ‘Here’s a guy who is going to be pretty upset.How is he going to handle it?It may take him a couple of days to snap out of it.' But you wouldn’t know if he caught 10 passes in that game or if he didn’t catch any.He’s always even-keel.Emotionally, he doesn’t get caught up in things.He’s just a steady performer.” “He lacks an ego,” says head coach Tom Higgins.“And by lacking an ego, he doesn’t have to be the marquee guy.He doesn’t have to be the go-to guy.He’s just happy to line up, play football and contribute.” So what gives the Grey Cup MVP more trouble: defensive backs or cows?“Cows, sometimes, when you’ve got to chase them down, because they don’t want to co-operate,” he says.“Some cows can give you problems.But defensive backs?The way that I look at it is there’s a guy I’m going up against, and it’s my job to beat him.” „ o « „ o o.Shorts Notebook Belfour buys part of WHA franchise Bobby Hull hinted at Ed Belfour’s involvement with the WHA when he was in the Townships and now it appears to have come true.The Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender is taking on a new role - as minority owner of the Dallas Americans of the proposed World Hockey Association.Rick Munro, owner of the Americans, confirmed Belfour’s involvement with his team, with the formal announcement scheduled for a news conference in Dallas on Thursday.The team is slated to play in Reunion Arena, the former home of the Stars.Belfour could don the pads for the Americans should an NHL lockout be in progress this autumn, a source told the Dallas Morning News.Belfour helped the Dallas Stars win the Stanley Cup in 1999 and recently signed a three-year $ 18-million US contract to remain with the Leafs.Alomar on the move again The Arizona Diamondbacks traded 12-time All-Star second baseman Roberto Alomar to tt^e Chicago White Sox on Thursday for a player to be named and cash.Alomar batted .309 with three home runs and 16 RBI in 39 games for the Diamondbacks this season.He was out for 56 games this season with a broken right hand after being hit by a pitch in Milwaukee on April 20.Alomar joined the Diamondbacks in the off season after the White Sox chose not to offer him arbitration and let him become a free agent.The Mets traded Alomar to Chicago last summer after the 10-game Gold Glove winner slumped in New York.He hit .253 in 67 games for Chicago last year.The switch-hitting Alomar is a career .301 hitter with 209 home runs, 1,126 RBI and 474 stolen bases in 17 seasons with San Diego, Toronto, Baltimore, Cleveland, the Mets, the White Sox and Arizona.MIIH a pair of tickets! «dr?*1 *f \ * Vr Ml» X.* - .-ht i 11 ¦vf » V* IPt SUNDAY, AUGUST C I N e M A •• 15TH, 8 P.M.at ¦K fWtUlfT* i MJUKfBUH HI 1 H 1 dû' ____ ÎUhS, BEGIN.SümrrféT s!orr> Lir.j • -j.’ • ÆÊ* '¦ ¦ \ ¦» ÜUK MHOHttB “Pre-Show” starting at 7 p.m.Lots of great prizes to win!

Country Reflections Country reflections bring back reminiscent memories of the past How friends and neighbours were so kind and loving too, these will last It’s hard to forget the friendliness and kindness shown by all how Everyone worked together spring, summer, winter and even in the fall.We picked berries together in our small little pails and being Stung by bees and chasing butterflies along the sandy trails How we were all so fond of our horses and cows and country pets Sharing our homes and gardens - those were the days farmers really cared.How we loved picking flowers in the meadows and lanes yes “country reflections” to me will always remain ‘till I’m old and grey I believe.Boating and rafting down the old nigger river back in my town.It was so much pleasure just having fun and clowning around.Fishing and swimming were hobbies we all loved to do it’s true But baiting our hooks was left for our best friends to do.The early morning sunshine on our old country home yes and The love for friends and family was clearly shown, let it be known.Attending the Sunday School Christmas tree - in our church hall How a big bag of candy and fruit and popcorn was sufficient for all The tobogganning rides and sleigh rides that we took I think Sometimes it would be a great pleasure to put these memories all in a book.Eloise Hodge Death Death " MASON, William Robert 1914 -

The family keeps trying to corner us to visit again.How should we handle this?- R.C.in Ottawa, Canada Dear R.C.: Put your spine back in and say, “We’d love to see you.I’ll make a reservation at a nearby motel, and we’ll take you out for dinner.” If they insist on staying at your house, reply sweetly, “We aren’t up to having company, and the motel will give you some privacy.” If they persist, tell them outright that their children are too much for you to handle.Don’t let them talk you into anything.Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Dismayed in Illinois,” who was appalled to see someone mooning the deceased at a wake.You then printed a letter from “Remembering in Illinois,” who participated in such a mooning, explaining that he was honoring the wish of the deceased.Here’s a better way.My uncle made me promise to pour a six-pack of beer over his casket.The family waited until everyone had left the cemetery, and then we honored his wish.The mooning should have been - done after the guests went home.— Massachusetts Nephew Dear Mass.: A wake is a Our Dad, Cecil Carr celebrates his 95th birthday August 7th.Anita and Cathryn along with their families and the Manoir Lac Brome invite you to an Open House, Saturday, August 7th from 2:30 - 4:30 p.m.The Manoir is at 28 Mont Echo Rd., Knowlton.Please no gifts, just your presence and good wishes.Gilbert Whitehead August 6,2004 Happy birthday from your son Bruce and your friends at Le Mondial.than a funeral, but thanks for the sensible suggestion.We’ll pass it along.Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.Please e-mail your questions to annies-mailbox@com-cast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, P.O.Box 118190, Chicago, IL 60611.To find out more about Annie’s Mailbox, and read features by other Creators Syndicate writers and cartoonists, visit the Creators Syndicate Web page at www.creators.com. i ¦ THE — RECORD Friday, August 6, 2004 page 17 CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people, past and present Each letter in the cipher stands for another Today's clue: E equals B “PZH ADTL BHITTL F A A O PZCDF IEASP IWPCDF CM PZIP PZHBH'M DA ZHIJL TCNPCDF.W I B L F B I D P PREVIOUS SOLUTION — “Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second.Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity." — Paul Gauguin (c) 2004 by NEA, Inc.8-6 CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Ceiebnfy Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people, past and present Each letter in the cipher stands for another.Today's clue: H equals M DX CXAZWWZTASDW CV D HDX UFJ ADMZV HJOZ UJONV A F D X XZTZVVDOB AJ AZWW HJOZ A F D X F Z M X J U V .— NUCKFA N.ZCVZXFJUZO L-8 oui V3N *q T006 (o) JUBJ9 Ajbq — „’6uipi| Â/reeu ou s.ejem legi S| 6uijoe jnoqe Bumi poo6 Apeej A|uo em„ - NOlimOS SnOIA3dd Kit n’ Carlyle lwright@ic.net www.comics.com MS is the most common neurological disease affecting young adults in Canada.Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada 1-800-2687582 www.mssociety.ca Alley Oop The Born Loser wow/ this THAT'S EXACTLY AND BESIDES AU.THAT ACCORDING TO THIS ODOR, HE'S THE WRESTLED OF TH CE-NTUCY AND one OF TH' TOP lOO OLYMPIANS of ALL TIME/ WHY I CHOSE.DAN GAftlX- IN HIS ENTIRE SCHOOL IS SOAAE FOR.vOU 3 VISIT* 1 CARE£R HE ONLY LOST OHCS IN 182 MATCHES/ TO VISIT: wrestler/ Arlo & Janis you're MY FAVORITE-.C00KHJG SHOW./ mm CHECK UP, CHIEF!
