Book excerpt: Growing up above his parents' Chinese family restaurant in Sexsmith, Alberta, Warren Chen has always dreamed of being a football star. At 90 pounds and five feet tall, he's not exactly built like a linebacker, but even short kids from tiny towns have big dreams. At first the coach is reluctant to even let him try out, but soon he sees Warren's strengths -- he is small, slippery, and no one can catch him. Warren is named the team's new running back. In their first game of the season, the Sexsmith Shamrocks face their biggest rivals, Grande Prairie. In a breathtaking dash along the sideline, Warren reaches the end zone to score the game-winning touchdown -- almost. But Warren celebrates anyway, and the referee buys it. Sexsmith's losing streak is broken, and Warren has proven himself worthy to be on the team, a genuine football star! But he knows it's not quite the truth, and sooner or later, someone will find out. Warren has to decide whether to come clean and cost his school the victory, or continue living the smalltown football dream.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I ONCE WENT TO A PALMIST TO HAVE MY PALMS READ. To my surprise, she said: “Your hands show two very different lives!” She explained that one hand represented my life as it was supposed to be, and the other as it would turn out. The palmist predicted that I would live a long life and would have a strong, positive character. As fate had it, one hand showed my life as it would have been if I had emigrated to America in 1901, and had grown up with my family on a Montana farm; the other hand showed great sacrifice and a stricter up-bringing - like my childhood with my grandparents in turn-of-the-century Ireland. Separated from my family at two years old, I was grateful to be reunited with them over 50 years later. When we reach a certain age, and have time to sit and dream, our thoughts slip back to times long ago and events - trivial at the time, but in childhood of great importance, and so they remain as musings on a lifetime.

Download or read book Peter Paul Galligan written by Kevin Galligan and published by The Liffey Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories of the leading figures of the Irish revolution - Michael Collins, Eamon de Valera, and guerrillas like Tom Barry and Ernie O’Malley - have been well told. But many other senior-ranking activists were equally committed. However, their experience remains obscure to most people. What was it like to try to launch the Easter Rising in a provincial town outside Dublin? What happened to the Volunteers imprisoned after the rising in maximum security prisons? How did counties such as Cavan and Wexford experience the revolution? This look at the life of Peter Paul Galligan throws light on these issues. Peter Paul Galligan joined the Irish Republican Brotherhood in 1910 and the Irish Volunteers in 1913. In 1916 he helped lead the Easter Rising in Enniscorthy. On the rebels’ surrender he was imprisoned in the harshest of conditions in Dartmoor prison - forbidden to speak to other prisoners and reduced at times to a diet of bread and water. Galligan’s story also shows the experience of the War of Independence on the ground in his native Cavan. Dublin Castle file refers to him as “one of the most dangerous men in the Rebel Movement.” As a member of Dáil Eireann, Galligan voted for the Treaty but also voted two days later for Eamon de Valera as President. In the ensuing Civil War, he stayed neutral but was in contact with the Anti-Treaty commanders. This is a fascinating story of a little known but significant contributor to Irish history.
Download or read book The Amazing Foot Race of 1921 written by Shirley Jean Roll Tucker and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2011 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: READ ALL ABOUT IT: Hikers to Walk From East Coast to Vancouver This adventure tale celebrates five Canadians who hiked from Halifax to Vancouver in 1921. For a nation struggling with post-war inflation, labour unrest and unemployment, the 3,645-mile hike was a welcome distraction. Daily reports from the competitors, who followed the CPR tracks, ran in the Halifax Herald and in other newspapers, and it wasn`t long before the entire nation had was caught up in the daily drama of the five hikers. They drew big crowds wherever they settled for the night or shared a meal with locals. Bands played. Crowds cheered. People placed their bets. By the time they were done, all five competitors had turned Canada "walking crazy." Shirley Jean Roll Tucker's lively account of this largely forgotten Canadian sporting event uses the vernacular of the day, with newspaper accounts and the hikers' own words.
Download or read book Hairy Lemon Cookbook written by Simon Cooper and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-08-20 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hairy Lemon Cookbook was put together after decades of preparing delicious and well-loved food for the people of Dublin as well as its visitors to the point of the Hairy Lemon Restaurant receiving awards from the city council and being consecutively rated as the best of its kind for traditional food in Dublin. The pub itself is named after a well-known street character from the forties who had jaundice from drinking too much “poitín,” a homemade potato vodka renowned for its potency, and with his beard and the shape of his head, he was said to resemble a hairy lemon. The menu was originally inspired by my Grandmother Kathleen, who was famous throughout our family for being a fantastic traditional cook. All the kids would eagerly anticipate the regular Sunday visit to Grandmother’s house for her famous stews or chips or pies. These were not typical foods for kids to fight over, but hers were that good that to eat her cooking was a real treat. Over the years, the Hairy Lemon has broadened its menu to include some different dishes, such as our curries and stir-fries but with a mind to keep our Grandmother’s style of cooking alive and well. This, however, is not all you get on a visit to the Hairy Lemon, as our customers know. Our customers are greeted cordially and treated as family, and relationships are regularly formed with people from every corner of the globe, keeping in regular contact or returning with family to introduce to us from far away. We like to have fun, and our customers know us for a bit of real Dublin banter in cozy surroundings that make them feel like they’re visiting their grandmothers with our homemade comfort foods that are just always the favorite compared to anything else. I hope you find this book to be a treasured resource for great food, Irish character, and fun.
