The Salvation Army's food bank in St. John's relies on the help of donors and volunteers now more than ever, as demand increases. For some, volunteering is where they have found their purpose.
It s gearing up to be another memorable year for equestrian ace Shane Sweetnam after the Castlemagner native beat stiff opposition to clinch victory at a five-star event in Palm Beach, Florida.
The 40-year-old, who is based in Florida, edged a dramatic jump-off in the Douglas Elliman Real Estate Grand Prix at the Winter Equestrian Festival in the Palm Beach International Equestrian Centre.
The event, which featured a field of 40 entrants, including five of the world s top-10 ranked riders, saw Sweetnam and his 12-year-old Reinlander gelding Alejandro emerge victorious following the nine-rider jump-off - earning them a cool $132,330 in the process.
