Hobbema boxer Danny Stonewalker punched his way to the top, grabbing the Canadian light-heavyweight title Jan. 29.

The 28-year-old Metis won a unanimous decision over Dave 'Machine Gun' Fiddler of Edmonton for the vacant title before 1,600 spectators at Red Deer's Westerner Exposition Altaplex.

Three judges awarded Stonewalker a unanimous decision in the 12-round bout, one of five on the card deemed 'Judgment Day.'

"I was unloading my arrows a little too fast for the Machine Gun," boasted a stiff and sore Stonewalker, who now has a record of 15-4-1.

The Samson Band has closed its schools because of a whooping cough epidemic that has hit 250 Hobbema residents.

One day care, a kindergarten facility and a private school have closed in order for parents to have their children immunized and treated, said Samson Band Councilor Larron Northwest last week.

On Jan. 18 the Hobbema Health Center staff had 100 children diagnosed with whooping cough.

When Samson Chief Victor Buffalo found out about the epidemic proportions, a public health meeting was held to inform the band members.

Native teams shut out in minor leagues

Edmonton's Native youth need some breaks if they're to get a crack at playing in the city's minor leagues, says Renee Houle of the Canadian Native Friendship Center (CNFC).

There are too many barriers to their entrance, according to the CNFC program director.

There are no Native teams in the minor fast ball, hockey and soccer leagues, because there aren't enough kids in each zone to make up the teams, he said.

Leagues insist teams in each of the five zones consist of minors from that zone.
