Louw, Le Roux on song as Bulls pack set up big URC win over Cardiff at Loftus
Canan Moodie Bulls wing Canan Moodie dives over for a try against Cardiff. Photo: BackpagePix Image: BackpagePix The Bulls' imperious march to the United Rugby Championship playoffs continued against Cardiff at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday afternoon, thanks to a ruthless performance from their forwards in a commanding first half. The Bulls took their foot off the accelerator in the second half, but convincingly won 45-21 to continue their quest for a second-place finish on the URC points table. Cardiff were in sixth position on the log going into kickoff, but the Welshmen were shut out of the game by a home forward pack led inspirationally by veteran Marcell Coetzee, while tighthead prop Wilco Louw was nothing short of monstrous. The latter has been enjoying a stellar season, and what a boost it will be for the Springboks in the looming international season to have Louw in this form, considering the injury to Frans Malherbe. The Bulls totally dominated the first half and Cardiff were lucky to be 31-0 down at the break. There was a cost for the Bulls, though, with flyhalf Johan Goosen picking up yet another injury. Goosen's ill luck continues, and he left the field on a golf cart with what appears to be another knee problem. Goosen has played just four matches in this URC season, and the grimace on his face said plenty. Willie le Roux, of course, has stepped into that role before, but it was Keagan Johannes who took on the job, and he did so admirably. The Bulls controlled the match strongly in the first quarter and forward domination allowed Goosen to strike home three points, and then Harold Vorster cruised over for a try after relentless phase play.

Next Stay Close ✕ Louw had been prominent throughout, and he deservedly crashed over for a try on the half hour after having earlier won that penalty for Goosen to convert. Springbok wing Canan Moodie was excellent in the first half, and when he won the ball in the air from a Johannes up-and-under and Le Roux assist, he cantered home for a try. The Bulls forwards continued their domination, with Louw in the vanguard, and when he surged forward for a perfect scrum right shoulder near the Cardiff line, No 8 Cameron Hanekom soared over for a well-taken try, and he would have doffed his cap in appreciation to Louw for that one. But the Welshmen were not done and struck first in the second half, with flank Alex Mann sneaking over at the corner flag.

Lindt holds back on Canada supply shift, boosts local stocks
By Canan Sevgili and Paolo Laudani (Reuters) -Swiss chocolate maker Lindt & Spruengli said it is still working out how to deal with the escalating trade war launched by U.S. President Donald Trump and has temporarily increased stocks in Canada to cushion the impact of tariffs. The company said in March it would supply chocolate made in Europe to Canada to avoid tariffs imposed to counter higher U.S. customs duties. But since March, there have been several changes to tariffs placed on imports and exports from the United States, prompting many companies to adopt a wait-and-see approach to the changing trading conditions. "We have not adjusted any sourcing strategy as the situation develops so fast," a Lindt spokesperson told Reuters in an email on Tuesday. "As soon as we have a clearer and more stable overview of the situation, we decide if and how to adjust our sourcing strategy." The spokesperson said that shifting sourcing of products sold in Canada to Europe was "one option that is being discussed", but the company has not yet decided how to proceed. "This was one of the options that was considered and can be implemented if necessary," the spokesperson said. Lindt said it had temporarily increased stock levels in Canada as a safeguard against potential supply disruptions in light of the imposed counter-tariffs on products imported from the United States. In March, Lindt said that 50% of its Canadian chocolate supply originated from the United States, but those volumes could be entirely shifted to Europe. Lindt produces 95% of its U.S. market chocolates in its five domestic factories, which also serve Canada. This month, Swiss chocolate maker Barry Callebaut's chief executive said it was planning to increase its U.S.-based production to fend off effects of the "disruptive environment" in North America.

Burlington Free Press writer Dan D'Ambrosio wins regional award for immigration story
Burlington Free Press reporter Dan D'Ambrosio won a first place award Saturday in the 2024 New England Better Newspaper Competition in Portland, Maine, for his April 2024 story about an undocumented farm worker in Vermont who was deported to Guatemala last year, despite threats of criminal violence against him. D'Ambrosio won first place in the Social Issues Feature Story category for his story about Bernardino Suchite Canan. The competition is sponsored by the New England Newspaper & Press Association (NENPA). Canan had been working on an Irasburg dairy farm for seven years before his deportation, quickly rising to a management position and exhibiting the traits of a "natural-born leader," according to the farm owner. Canan also had a pathway to a green card, allowing permanent residence in the United States, because he had been the victim of a violent break-in to his home on the farm in 2022, and was cooperating with the state's attorney to prosecute the perpetrator. All of that went away when Canan and his partner were detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after visiting friends at a farm in New York, just across Lake Champlain. Canan was subsequently arrested for a DUI in the Northeast Kingdom. Canan and his partner testified he had never driven drunk before, but was feeling the stress of his interaction with ICE, compounded by the anniversary of a violent attack on his mother in 2021, which ultimately resulted in her death. Canan himself had fled Guatemala at 16 to escape criminal violence. An immigration court judge in Boston deported Canan despite the state of Vermont agreeing to put him into a diversion program on his pending DUI charges, which means the charges would not have gone on his record once he completed the program. The owner of the Irasburg farm also provided a glowing letter of recommendation for Canan to the immigration court, to no avail. Canan was represented in immigration court by Vermont Law & Graduate School Professor Brett Stokes and a team of student lawyers in the school's immigration clinic. "Lifting up the voices and the stories of Vermont residents is what the reporters at the Free Press strive to do each day," said Caitlyn Kelleher, New England Group Editor. "It is an honor to receive recognition for this work from our peers and the professional organization of NENPA. Additionally, we appreciate the courage that it took Bernardino Suchite Canan to tell his story to Dan. The stories of migrants are not just one for the U.S. southern border communities or big cities. Dan's reporting shows the daily struggles of the undocumented immigrants living and working in Vermont." D'Ambrosio also won a first-place award last year in the History Reporting category for his story about Saswa and Conauda, two Potawatomi boys, ages 17 and 15, respectively, who were brought to Vermont in 1827 by a Baptist missionary to study at Castleton Medical College, the first private medical school in the nation. Within four years, by 1831, both boys would be dead from tuberculosis, and their stories would recede into obscurity for nearly two centuries, until an investigation of Indian Boarding Schools by the U.S. Department of the Interior was published in May 2022. The report included a brief reference to two Indian students in Castleton, which led to the Free Press investigation. "This look at two teenage boys' brief time in Vermont nearly two centuries ago does a masterful and nuanced job of telling the broader story of the country's treatment of Indigenous people," the competition judges wrote last year about D'Ambrosio's story.
