Athletes bring maroon to Athens and go for gold

Maroon and gold are familiar colours to McMaster student Adam van Koeverden and alumni Sue Palmer-Komar and Mark Heese. But over the next two weeks, these colours will mean more to them than ever. Maroon, because it will remind them of home and gold, because it's what they want to return with. This month, the athletes are in Athens, Greece, competing in kayaking, cycling and beach volleyball. It's exactly four years after Van Koeverden made a pact with himself -- he was going to Athens in 2004.

Solar car tour accident; McMaster team is safe

The first stretch of the nine-day Canadian Solar Tour was halted after one of the vehicles was involved in an accident Thursday night. A University of Toronto student was killed in the crash. McMaster's solar car team was part of the tour but faculty advisor John Preston confirmed that the team had already completed its journey for the day and all nine team members were in Waterloo when the accident occurred near Stratford. Additional details can be found in an article in today's Hamilton Spectator. The Solar Tour began in Windsor Thursday morning. Teams were to spend the next nine days traveling 1,700 kms to Quebec City to promote renewable energy technologies. The cars were scheduled to make a stop at McMaster today, but the stop has been cancelled due to the tragedy. [End of story]
