If you haven't been following the Raptors too closely this season, it's possible that you may have missed one of the greatest stories in professional sports at the moment. Jamario Moon is a 27-year-old rookie who had been kicking around just about every minor league on the continent until he finally got his shot with the Raptors this year. And he's tearing things up.

Cast Iron, a one-woman show about an elderly Barbados-born woman in a Winnipeg nursing home reliving her early life, opened last night at the Tarragon Extra Space. One of the noteworthy things about Lisa Codrington’s first play, produced by Nightwood Theatre in association with Obsidian theatre company, is that it is written and performed in the Bajan dialect. [You can see what it looks like written in this Eye article.] Don't let that scare you......
