HISTORY HAPPENING TODAY!
- Brandon carried the Olympic torch in Virden Saturday. He purchased his torch for $350 and the suit was provided. It was pretty heavy and you could feel the warmth from the flame. There was a torch bearer from Dauphin who also ran with the torch in 1988.
-Earthquake in California.
- Canadian stamps went up in price from 54 cents to 57 cents.
-2 people jumped from the Dubai tallest building in the world. They waited 10 seconds before pulling their parachutes. They still had a 30-40 second ride.
-1st Canadian amputee soldier has returned to duty in Afghanistan. He wants to prove terrorism will not win out.
- Canadian PM Stephen Harper has closed parliament. He says due to the Canadian economy and the opposition parties say due to controversy due to Afghanistan detainees(prisoners).
-The weather is doing very strange things in Europe, England, United States-Florida where it is normally warmer temperatures in winter there has been cold, snow. In Manitoba last week we had a low of -47 today the temperature is -2. Robins have been spotted in the Oak Lake area- is this a sign of a warmer winter?
We continued to read about the reformation and we checked out movies on teacher tube!

We are the Grade 8 SS Class from Hamiota.
How far did Brandon have to carry the torch?
How heavy is the torch?
Can you tell us what was on your white suit? (Any Olympic rings, the year, anything about Vancouver?)
