Default Request for interviews/stories/contacts:

Hey folks,

I am looking for some people who could speak to me about some of these topics:

General Sports:

- Someone who has an interesting or off beat story in the sport they play
- A new emerging star
- Think athlete of the week, a touching story of kindness etc.
- Basically anything in this category that you think would work.

The one criteria is that it has to relate to SW Calgary. So preferably, an athlete from a SW community of Calgary, but I'd probably work around that somehow for a good story.

MD of Rockyview:

- Looking for someone who has been affected by the annexation of land by the city.
- Looking to discuss further expansion plans of major highways in the west district (Trans-Canada, Highway 8).
- If anyone knows anyone who may have an interesting story about that area (Think SW Calgary area of Rockyview -- Springbank).

For something that would be of great help:

I would really like to interview a WWII vet that fought for Germany, but who now resides in Calgary/surrounding area. I've met a few in my day, but all have unfortunately passed on. It is difficult to locate someone of this nature, and I figured I'd ask here.

These stories will be published. I am looking for contacts for these specific ideas, so if you know someone who may be able to help me further, and they'd be willing to help, please pass their info along. For more info, please PM me, and ask any questions you may.

Thanks a million,

James.

Coaches, players, parents. Anything can work, as long as there is a story.

I'd like to bump this, and will only do it once as not to annoy you all.

Thanks again.
