Summer Heat 2023 set for August 12th at Mohegan Sun Arena

In front of a jam-packed crowd consisting of fans, family and media at Bobby V’s in Stamford on Tuesday night, Jimmy Burchfield Sr. unveiled the details of “Summer Heat 2023,” an absolutely stacked boxing card taking place on August 12th at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT.

Featured at the podium were Stamford pro boxers Chordale ‘The Gift’ Booker and Slawomir Bodhziewicz, as well as a pair of amateur fighters from New Haven, Chad Dawson Jr. and Troyveon Allen.

“August 12 is going to be special, because not only will fans be treated to a great night of professional boxing, but they’ll get a 2-for-1,” stated CES Founder Jimmy Burchfield Sr. “Their ticket will also allow them to attend the ‘Jimmy Burchfield Classic Invitational,’ a USA Boxing sanctioned Amateur showcase that will take place before the pro card on August 12th.”

The pro boxing card will be headlined by newly minted WBC US Super Welterweight champion Booker (19-1, 8 KOs), who won the title at Mohegan Sun Arena in April with a spectacular 4th round knockout.

Booker will be one step closer to a title shot with an impressive victory over Puerto Rico’s Nicolas Hernandez (27-6-3, 12 KOs), especially if undisputed junior middleweight champion Jermell Charlo vacates his belts after moving up two divisions to challenge undisputed super middleweight champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez on September 30th in Las Vegas.

“This is going to be one of my best performances,” exclaimed Booker. “I haven’t been this locked in since 2018. However long it goes, it’s gonna be bad for Nicolas Hernandez. You’re going to see a great performance and a great show. This fight is not going 10.”

The pro card will also feature Hall-of-Famer and former two division champion Jaime ‘The Hurricane’ Clampitt (24-6-2, 7 KOs) and many of the…

Human harmony: new school to receive Indigenous name

The namesake for north Winnipeg’s newest elementary school is an Anishinaabemowin phrase that celebrates what it means to be human and live in harmony in an interconnected world.

École Mino Pimatisiwin School is slated to open in Aurora at North Point, an up-and-coming suburb near the intersection of McPhillips Street and Murray Avenue, in September 2025.

Trustees voted unanimously in support of the Indigenous title — the first of its kind in the Seven Oaks School Division, and one of only a handful of public schools in the province named in a language other than English — at a spring meeting.

<p>JOHN WOODS / FREE PRESS FILES</p> <p>Chairwoman Maria Santos said her hope is Mino Pimatisiwin will be more than just a name and shape the culture of the community it serves.</p> <p>” /> </a> </p> <p>JOHN WOODS / FREE PRESS FILES</p> <p>Chairwoman Maria Santos said her hope is Mino Pimatisiwin will be more than just a name and shape the culture of the community it serves.</p> <p>“When I was asked to name it, no other phrase came to mind but that; for me, this is the greatest honour,” said Mary Courchene, a longtime elder-in-residence for the division in which nearly 12,000 students learn in classrooms located everywhere from Garden City to West St. Paul.</p> <p>Mino Pimatisiwin is a sacred concept that translates to “the good life” in Algonquian languages including Ojibwa and Cree.</p> <p>For Courchene, it means living in a holistic way that prioritizes respectful relationships with other human beings and living forms of all kinds.</p> <p>The career educator from Sagkeeng First Nation called the namesake “an excellent fit,” citing the division’s growing Indigenous student population and its commitment to both Indigenizing programming and putting a spotlight on First Nations, Métis and Inuit perspectives.</p> <p>City school boards…</p> <p> <a href=Continue reading

Part 1: Controversial development plans in Nanticoke will shape future of Haldimand County

Would creating a lakeside city inside an industrial park be Haldimand County’s folly — or its salvation?

Empire Communities sparked a passionate debate about the future of the rural county when the developers approached Haldimand council last year with a plan to build some 15,000 homes and light industry on 4,200 acres of industrial land surrounding Stelco’s Nanticoke steelworks.

The expanded town of Nanticoke would sit just west of an oil refinery and the site of a since-demolished coal-fired power plant.

Empire’s proposal to house 40,000 new residents in a “provincially significant employment zone” — areas designated by the province for industrial development and declared unsuitable for housing — would almost double the county’s population and turn the village of Nanticoke into the largest community in Haldimand.

In advertising for the project, dubbed Your Nanticoke, Empire promises a “bright future” that includes 110 acres of publicly accessible waterfront, recreational facilities such as an indoor pool, a park and trail network, 2,000 affordable housing units “for young families” and a new sewage treatment plant.

All of this without a tax increase, the company says, and with the creation of more than 10,000 jobs.

Proponents of Empire’s plan say Haldimand cannot afford to reject the opportunity to add much-needed water treatment infrastructure on the developer’s dime while finding a new use for industrial lands that have sat empty for decades.

“My feeling is the positives far outweigh any negatives that could be,” Haldimand councillor Stewart Patterson, whose ward includes Nanticoke, told The Spectator.

“There are going to be some bumps in the road, but the big thing is the added infrastructure that there’s no way we could afford as a county on our own.”

But critics — including the local MPP and mayor — say allowing thousands of people to live near giant industrial polluters makes no sense and is only…

Gritty triumph for Bettors Donttell in co-feature

WILKES-BARRE, PA – Bettors Donttell (Bettor’s Delight), who looked to be the worst-placed of the four main contenders in Saturday afternoon’s $18,500 pacing feature at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, showed great gameness to go on to a 1:49.4 victory.

Traceur Hanover yielded to RIP Wheeler before an opening quarter of :26.1; that one then reached the half in :54.3. Bettors Donttell started up first-over headed down the backstretch, with favored Backstreet Shadow in good second-over position. Those positions didn’t change by the 1:21.3 three-quarters, and they didn’t change as the field turned for home.

RIP Wheeler couldn’t maintain his advantage, and Backstreet Shadow, involved in an incident in the Battle Of Lake Erie and not in peak form since, couldn’t take advantage of the cover trip after swinging wide. 20-1 Traceur Hanover raced well in the pocket, but Bettors Donttell, who was not the smoothest-gaited of the foursome, showed the most heart to take the top event by a half length over Traceur Hanover.

Simon Allard guided the winner to victory for the meet’s leading trainer, Ron Burke, and the Burke Racing Stable LLC and Weaver Bruscemi LLC partnership.

BETTORS DONTTELL REPLAY

There was an $18,000 trot for the highest level of developing younger horse before they go on to fast-class racing (“nw 11 races life”), with Speed Away (Father Patrick), who had won against older horses in his last start, making it two straight with a 1:53.4 triumph. The gelding was kept by driver Matt Kalaley just behind Diehard Seelster and College Tuition as they argued through early fractions of :27.3 and :56.1. Speed Away entered the battle going to the 1:24.3 three-quarters then had to beat those…

Canadian university acquires electric observation-class ROV

Houston-headquartered Forum Energy Technologies (FET) has delivered an electric observation-class remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to Canadian Memorial University of Newfoundland which can be used for renewable energy projects, among other things.

Source: FET

Delivered to the Fisheries and Marine Institute, the primary function of the Sub-Atlantic Mohican ROV system will be to support ocean research, while it will also be used for pilot technician training. For ocean research operations, the ROV will be required to carry a payload skid for navigation, equipment and sensors, as well as be capable of manipulation and intervention.

Mohican is equipped for inspection tasks, non-destructive testing, (NDT), light intervention, pipeline/cable/seabed survey, diver assist/safety, harbor and port security, scientific survey and data collection, renewable energy projects, civil engineering, long tunnel excursion and for inland waterways.

It was manufactured at FET’s UK facility at Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire, and delivered to Memorial University of Newfoundland this year.

According to the company, the Mohican ROV has a 2,000-meter depth rating and with TMS Garage system, is suited to inspection, survey repair, oceanographic research and subsea maintenance tasks. Ancillary tools and sensors can also be added to the vehicle for survey and light intervention work.

“The acquisition of the FET Mohican ROV system vastly increases our capability to complete scientific observation and sampling research work up to depths of 2000 m,” said Joe Singleton, Interim Head for the School of Ocean Technology at the Marine Institute of Memorial University.

“The ability to add additional sensors, cameras, and equipment to the payload makes it versatile for all anticipated expeditions. For our students completing the ROV Technician program, this comprehensive system provides a great experiential learning platform for maintenance, repair, integration, and operations.”

Speaking about other company-related news, it is worth noting that earlier this year FET announced it
