More than 1,300 fans crowded into the gym at Broxton Park Elementary School

in Spruce Grove during the three days of the Alberta Provincial Boxing Championships. Organizer Jim Titley called the weekend of 65 amateur fights a "huge success," and said the skill levels displayed were "at a high level."

Boxers moved from novice categories into open competition which meant that competitors were still adjusting to the new levels.

"The fans bring a great deal of excitement to the ring, and that can bring a lot out of the boys," Titley said.

Adopted Aboriginal

Angela Latta is looking for a place where she belongs.

Like thousands of aboriginal children, she was adopted as an infant and grew up in a white household. In 1988, she decided she wanted to know more about her people and her Indian culture, so she applied to Ottawa for information on becoming a registered Indian under the Indian Act. In 1989, she applied for status.

"Maybe because it's a sense of belonging somewhere," she said of her pursuit for status. "It's not necessarily the money part - it's the belonging part."
