| Lean on me . . . crash victim 'humbled' by community support; Former CASS teacher Stinson seriously injured in Echo ...
Trevor Stinson is recovering in a Sudbury hospital after a car accident that could easily have ended his life. He's not sure exactly when life will get back to normal, but one thing he is certain of is the support he's received from family, friends and the community. "I was floored and humbled to realize the magnitude and depth of concern, compassion and support that has been generated since my accident," said Stinson said in a recent telephone interview, just weeks after being badly injured March 3 in a two-vehicle collision on Highway 17 in Echo Bay. "I never realized how many people knew who I was or anything about me." Stinson celebrated his 32nd birthday last Thursday in hospital with his family. He was even able to enjoy an ice cream cake at a party.

2008 shaping up to be new start for RSL
Like many expansion franchises in professional sports, Real Salt Lake has taken its fair share of beatings.
The predicament is that most did not anticipate it would take the team three seasons to reach a respectable level.
RSL enters its fourth season in Major League Soccer with an overhauled roster, a remarkable stadium to be finished by fall and its most talented squad to date.
A season ago, the team had what was arguably the most potent offense in the league.
With players such as Jeff Cunningham, Freddy Adu, Mehdi Ballouchy and Chris Klein, Real was poised to outscore the opposition throughout the season.
Then, on opening day, the first of many blunders caused one of the biggest domino effects in MLS history.
With a one-goal lead, keeper Nick Rimando decided to charge out of the box and attempt to two-hand punch the ball out for the final clear of last year's home opener.
