In some places, there are a couple of inches between the pavement and the sidewalk. This makes it hard for wheelchairs to get onto the sidewalk.Following the event, organizer Lori Slater says she hopes the event brought awareness to the problem areas in town, as well as the better areas.

CALABASAS – Of all the big soccer games Evan Raynr has played in with club teams and with the U.S. youth national program, he can’t recall being this excited after any of them. Raynr’s two overtime goals Tuesday lifted Viewpoint High of Calabasas to a 2-0 victory over Yucca Valley in a Southern Section Div. VI semifinal, sending the Patriots to the first final in program history. “This is a really powerful win for me,” Raynr said. “It felt good to put those two in. … I’ve played in some important games, but honestly, this is the biggest win to me, to do it with this team. “We never thought we’d get this far, and things have just fallen into place.” “Relief. That’s the first thing that went through my mind when it went in,” Raynr said of his penalty shot that rolled into the left corner as Yucca Valley goalkeeper Logan Aguilar dove in the other direction. “I knew this was it. I had to make this goal.” heather.gripp@dailynews.com (818) 713-3607 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations!

Third-seeded Viewpoint (20-0-6), which was without Raynr’s services much of the season while he trained with the youth national team, will go for its first undefeated season when the Patriots play in the division championship game Saturday. Raynr broke the scoreless tie on a penalty kick eight minutes into the 20-minute overtime. It was the first goal scored against the De Anza League champions this postseason. Raynr walked the ball into the net for another score twominutes later after he beat the final defender to a loose ball and got past the goalkeeper, who had charged out of the box. “That’s Evan,” Viewpoint coach Travis Kikugawa said of the sophomore, who switched from midfield to forward for overtime. “He’s a special player. He’s a game-changer.” Raynr had been practicing penalty kicks just a day earlier, knowing he had missed his previous two in games for the Patriots.

From news services Even without a trophy, Stephen Ames felt he had nothing to prove. Despite a winless season, he already considered this year a success because he revamped his swing to eliminate nagging back issues. He twice contended in majors, when he was tied for the lead on the final day at Oakmont and played in the final group at Southern Hills. One last trip to escape the chill of Calgary turned into so much more Sunday in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

Volvo Masters Justin Rose made sure to clinch the European Order of Merit, then added a win at the PGA European event in Sotogrande, Spain, for good measure. Rose secured the Order of Merit by reaching a three-way playoff at Valderrama, where the Englishman rolled in a 12-foot putt at the second extra hole to win the season-ending tournament over Simon Dyson and Soren Kjeldsen. U.S. Open champion Angel Cabrera birdied the last hole to win by one stroke and fend off a challenge from Vijay Singh in Singapore. Cabrera shot a 1-over 72 in the final round. Singh started six strokes behind Cabrera but trailed by two shots after only seven holes. Singh missed an eagle from about 20 feet on the final hole, but birdied to finish at 7-under 277. Momoko Ueda became the tournament’s first Japanese winner in nine years, closing with a 5-under 66 that included a double eagle. Ueda finished at 13-under 203 and earned $210,000 for her first LPGA Tour victory.

Donegal Can’t Pay Won’t Pay have called for protests groups around the county supporting a boycott of water charges to come together and co-ordinate protests in advance of the start of billing by Irish Water next month.Spokesperson Liam Whyte said with the arrival of bills only weeks away, it is vital that we can convince as many people as possible not to pay.“Can’t Pay Won’t Pay will be explaining to people that if we can build a strong boycott of payment, then Irish Water will be finished as they simply will not be able to pursue payment from so many people. We want people to realise that the only penalty for not payment will only be added to your bill after 12 months of non-payment, by which time this government will be finished.” “We are marking the introduction of billing with a public meeting on April 1st in Letterkenny on the day billing begins and to maximise the effectiveness of the campaign we are asking all groups in Donegal who are in support of a boycott to attend the meeting. We are building towards a major ‘Bin the Bills’ demonstration in Letterkenny on April 25th. We will begin distribution of a four-page newsletter in the coming days to counter the propaganda from Irish Water.”He added they believe that they can defeat water charges but only if people have the confidence to withhold payment.“We intend to build that confidence to ensure that people know there is a strong support network to sustain the campaign until water charges are defeated.”The public meeting takes place in the Station House Hotel Letterkenny on Wednesday April 1st at 8pm. The ‘Bin the Bills’ demonstration will take place on Saturday April 25th in Letterkenny.

6 May 2010Indigent peopel will be able to access free legal services when South Africa’s Legal Practice Bill, which was approved by cabinet on Thursday, comes into effect, Justice and Constitutional Development Minister Jeff Radebe said in Cape Town this week.He said that a key feature of the bill, which also plans to set uniform standards for all those that join the legal profession, would require legal practitioners to provide legal services on a pro bono basis to the indigent in rural areas or to applicants of the Small Claims Court.The provision would be similar to that which requires doctors to provide certain minimum hours to provide free services to the community.It would complement, rather than do away with Legal Aid South Africa, which provides for state-paid legal services to indigent persons.Bringing courts closerThe government was also planning to bring access to justice closer to ordinary people with the introduction of the Superior Courts Bill and the Constitution Amendment Bill address, which call for high courts with divisions in all provinces to be set up.Limpopo and Mpumalanga will soon have their own high courts if the bills are passed by Parliament.“As we are seated now a person who is in Mpumalanga if he has a matter, he has to drive hundreds of kilometres to Gauteng to seek justice there,” Radebe said. “So at a stroke of a pen, if Parliament approves these bills, they will have justice right on their doorsteps, the same as in Limpopo.”He said his department would also continue with its efforts to upgrade and convert more branch courts into full service courts.To this end, Attridgeville and Mamelodi courts, as well as Ntuzuma court in KwaZulu-Natal and Northam court in Limpopo, would from 1 June become full-service courts.Civil disputesThe cabinet today also approved the terms of reference for the review of the civil justice system, which follows the review of the criminal justice system, which is still being carried out by the department, he said.“Resolution of civil disputes cannot continue to be an exclusive terrain for the rich and powerful only,” said Radebe. “All South Africans must enjoy equal access and protection of the law and where necessary through adjudication by the courts.”Source: BuaNews
