       c2013., General, ECW Press Call No: QWF 796.812 L317m    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Demonstrating how the famed Canadian city influenced a hugely celebrated sport, this chronicle digs deep into Montrealœs past, depicting how the metropolis helped form pro wrestling from every angle. Journeying from the late 1800s to the present, this book provides the lowdown on all the major wrestlers who emerged from Montreal and the province of Quebec, including Yvon Robert, the Rougeau and Vachon families, Jos Leduc, Gino Brito, and Pierre-Carl Ouellet. Big names born outside the province are also explored, from Andre the Giant and Abdullah the Butcher to Edouard Carpentier. Going beyond pro wrestling, the study shows how Montreal also held what is known as the very first midget match worldwide, covering personalities such as Little Beaver, Sky Low Low, and Tiger Doink· Jackson in an overall look at this unique scene. Additional topics include the history of womenœs wrestling in Montreal, the war between the Rougeauœs All Star Wrestling and the Vachonœs Grand Prix, the complete title history of the heavyweight championship, and some of the unfortunate tragedies that befell the regionœs competitors. From the renowned McMahon promotions to the indie scene that exists today, this is the Montreal wrestling scene from top to bottom.

      By Blake, Sarah, 1960-
       c2010., Amy Einhorn Books/G.P. Putnam's Sons Call No: Fic Bla    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "It is 1940. France has fallen. Bombs are dropping on London. And President Roosevelt is promising he won't send our boys to fight in "foreign wars." But American radio gal Frankie Bard, the first woman to report from the Blitz in London, wants nothing more than to bring the war home. Frankie's radio dispatches crackle across the Atlantic ocean, imploring listeners to pay attention--as the Nazis bomb London nightly, and Jewish refugees stream across Europe. Frankie is convinced that if she can just get the right story, it will wake Americans to action and they will join the fight. Meanwhile, in Franklin, Massachusetts, a small town on Cape Cod, Iris James hears Frankie's broadcasts and knows that it is only a matter of time before the war arrives on Franklin's shores. In charge of the town's mail, Iris believes that her job is to deliver and keep people's secrets, passing along the news that letters carry. And one secret she keeps are her feelings for Harry Vale, the town mechanic, who inspects the ocean daily, searching in vain for German U-boats he is certain will come. Two single people in midlife, Iris and Harry long ago gave up hope of ever being in love, yet they find themselves unexpectedly drawn toward each other. Listening to Frankie as well are Will and Emma Fitch, the town's doctor and his new wife, both trying to escape a fragile childhood and forge a brighter future. When Will follow's Frankie's siren call into the war, Emma's worst fears are realized. Promising to return in six months, Will goes to London to offer his help, and the lives of the three women entwine. Alternating between an America still cocooned in its inability to grasp the danger at hand and a Europe being torn apart by war, The Postmistress gives us two women who find themselves unable to deliver the news, and a third woman desperately waiting for news yet afraid to hear it."--Inside jacket.

       2008., Soundings/Steele Inc. : White Pines Pictures ; [distributed by] McNabb Connolly Call No: DVD Bio S771r    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Graham Spry (1900-1983) played a central role in the creation of modern Canada. But he was too far ahead of his time, and paid a huge price for advocating his vision for Canada, a vision that has now become part of the character of this nation and includes the two defining realities in Canada; the struggle to retain a culture distinct from that of the United States, and the attempt to create a bi-cultural, now multi-cultural state in Canada...Spry helped found a new political party in the depth of the depression (the CCF, now NDP). Spry championed the new medium of radio, call it a "central nervous system' for Canada...he would eventually earn the unofficial title 'father of public broadcasting.'"--Container.
