From Phonse to Mr. Mount Pearl to the Earl of the Pearl, Tony Fowlow has a lot of nicknames. But he s best known for being the man behind the Zamboni at the Glacier Arena and a beloved member of the province s hockey and figure skating community for more than four decades. He s a true legend in Mount Pearl, said Kim Pelley, the president of the Mount Pearl Minor Hockey Association. She says Fowlow has been there since the beginning, from the construction of the Smallwood arena in the 70s to getting hired there and later moving over to the Glacier.

President-elect Joe Biden has nominated former South Bend, Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg, who dropped out of 2020 presidential campaign earlier this year and endorsed Biden, as secretary of transportation.
“I am nominating him for Secretary of Transportation because this position stands at the nexus of so many of the interlocking challenges and opportunities ahead of us,” Biden said on Tuesday. “Jobs, infrastructure, equity, and climate all come together at the DOT, the site of some of our most ambitious plans to build back better. I trust Mayor Pete to lead this work with focus, decency, and a bold vision he will bring people together to get big things done.”
