Stoughton, Saskatchewan
Stoughton is a town in Saskatchewan, Canada. In 2011 it had a population of 649. Stoughton was originally called ''New Hope''. The tiny settlement of New Hope was barely three years old when the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) arrived in this part of the province in 1904. The CPR chose a location a little to the south for its closest depot, which it called Stoughton. The community of New Hope soon moved to join it. Stoughton used to have its own small police service, which was aptly named the ''Stoughton Police Service''. It no longer exists and now the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) provide policing services to the town and surrounding areas. Stoughton is approximately eighty-eight miles southeast of Regina at the terminus for highway 33, which is the longest straight road in Canada, and the fifth longest in the world. It is also the administrative headquarters of the Ocean Man First Nations band government.http://www.sicc.sk.ca/archive/bands/bocean.html They contain ...

Mixed Curling
This is a glossary of terms in curling. #s During a game, sweepers might call out numbers. These numbers indicate how far the sweepers think the rock in play will travel. This system is relatively new to the game and is often attributed to the Randy Ferbey rink since they were the first major team to use the system, but it is not known whose idea it originally was. 1 to 3 indicates a rock in the free guard zone, 4 to 6 the rings in front of the tee line, 7 being on the button, and 8 to 10 the rings behind the tee line. Sometimes, 11 is used to indicate a stone thrown so that it passes through the house and out of play. With this system, the sweepers can communicate more effectively where they think the stone will end up or the skip can better tell the deliverer how hard to throw it. # ; : An endgame strategy based on maintaining hammer in the even ends of the last 3 ends of the game. If the team with hammer always scores (in other words, no blanks and no steals), then one t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
