Unlucky-Transport truck slams into house

PORT COLBORNE, ONT. - Marie Parks watched as a transport truck slammed into her house in this city Thursday night, right into the front room where she and her husband normally sit at night. "Someone was watching over me," she said, as firefighters, police, paramedics and neighbours milled around the scene after the 8:45 p.m. crash at the southern Ontario home she's called home for 40 years. Parks and her husband had gone to see a neighbour's truck shortly before the semi plowed into the home. Port Colborne fire Chief Tom Cartwright said the truck hit so hard, "it literally pushed the floor out of the back of the house."

Strange-200-pound pumpkin vanishes from garden

OWEN SOUND, Ont. - A 200-plus-pound pumpkin has vanished from a community garden. Police said Thursday they will investigate the theft after members of Union Place, a Canadian Mental Health Association drop-in facility behind St. George's Anglican Church, discovered the pumpkin, eight watermelons and some squash were missing from the community-run garden. "The guys were really hurt" said site co-ordinator Teresa Pearson. "They are really disheartened. They worked for months. These guys started working in the gardens in May and we are just winding up." Pearson said she had arranged transportation to move the pumpkin next week, but someone beat her to it.

Wow-Local brothel sponsors German hockey team

The Landshut Cannibals are a team in the 2nd Eishockey-Bundesliga, German professional hockey's second-tier league. It's the league in which Chris Stewart of the St. Louis Blues and Wayne Simmonds of the Philadelphia Flyers have arranged to spend the lockout.But the influx of two NHLers is hardly the most interesting thing going on there right now. This is Landshut's warm-up jersey. That's the Cannibals' logo in the bottom

left corner. The logo in the middle -- a pair of pouty red lips bordered by the phrase, "The world could be this sexy" -- belongs to the team's sponsor. Lustra, a local brothel.The deal, which was announced on Sept. 15, is earning the Cannibals 5,000 euros per season. It's also earning them a great deal of attention, as you might imagine. After all, some find prostitution... unsavory.In real life, as on the ice, there are penalties for hooking and in this case, it meant the loss of a sponsor. German clothing company Wöhrl had agreed to a deal with the Cannibals just two days before Lustra's deal was announced. They were mortified to learn they would be sharing the team with a bordello and backed out of the agreement immediately.
