management at david sands said they hoped the new owners would continue the commitment to sourcing produce from local suppliers .
young david nevertheless became friendly with a quaker named edward hallock , of neighboring new marlborough . hallock , like the sands , had relocated from long island , and encouraged david’s spiritual searchings . while traveling on business , hallock introduced david to his first friends meeting at liberty street meeting in new york city .

the david sands chain of 28 convenience stores in fife , perthshire and kinross have been sold to the co - operative group for an undisclosed sum .

we believe that the acquisition of our business by the co - operative group , another responsible retailer , offers a fantastic opportunity for continued investment in our stores and our people , and a continued commitment to scottish local communities , local produce and local suppliers .
but moutinho’s impressive run is made even more extraordinary because her boyfriend — poker pro david “doc” sands — is also going strong in the tournament with 57 players remaining .

david sands was the son of presbyterian parents who had forfeited their home in sandringham , england , to the crown and had emigrated to the american colonies . in 1759 , when david was 14 years old , the family moved again from sands point , long island , to the hudson valley . there they acquired property in the queen anne land grant extending from storm king mountain west to firthcliffe .

when david reached the age of 21 he requested and was received into membership in nine partners meeting across the hudson river in dutchess county . a year after marrying edward hallock’s daughter clementine , under the care of the nine partners meeting , david moved into his parents’ large home in cornwall . this house is still standing , and is called the “sands - ring home . ” hanging on the wall of the fellowship room in the meeting house is a portrait of david sands done in wedgwood style by an english sculptor named ellis , dated about 1800 .

sands traveled widely , ministering and preaching . however , the sands - ring home was the seed of the cornwall meeting . david’s parents , as well as some of his siblings , soon joined david’s faith . on august 21 , 1772 , nine partners approved the following minute : “this meeting thinks proper to visit friends over the river and consider whither or no it would be best for them to hold a meeting . ” meeting for worship at cornwall first took place in the sands - ring house on april 16 , 1773 . meetings thereafter were alternately held in new marlborough .
peter marks , chief executive of the co - operative group , said :
this major acquisition will significantly strengthen our food business in scotland , especially in fife , kinross and perthshire , and we look forward to working with the new team from david sands .
“during my career i happened to fight russell sands , dave’s younger brother ” once in brisbane and once in melbourne ” and i was so worried about fighting him because i had so much respect for the sands brothers and for dave . ”
the precinct of cornwall was organized in 1764 , and the first town meeting was held the following year . built in 1790 , the meeting house is not only the first quaker meeting house in orange county , but the oldest religious building of any faith in cornwall . the story of how this came to be is , in large part , the story of david sands .
funeral services for david sands wright , professor emeritus of the college , who died at his home friday morning , october 30 , 1931 , at 10 : 45 o’clock , were conducted sunday at 2 : 30 p . m . at first methodist episcopal church . dr . howland hanson , college religious director , was in charge . burial was in the fairview cemetery in cedar falls .
the two lovebirds didn’t tangle during their short time at the table sunday , but moutinho watched attentively as sands got involved in a big pot against erick lindgren on the final hand of the day . lindgren fired a bet of 340 , 000 on a board of ac - qd - 3h - 3d - 6d and sands moved all in , prompting a quick fold from the poker legend as sands collected a nice pot to finish the day .
sands stood up proudly and announced that he’d taken the household chip lead from his partner . “yeah , moutinho ! just when you talk about how many nights you had the chip lead , ” he teased . moutinho had more chips than sands after four of the first five days of the tournament .
legend has it that david sands’ 12 - year old daughter , catherine , brought wrought - iron nails to the site of the construction from a smithy located in new windsor , by riding there and back on horseback . those nails may be plainly seen embedded in the exposed timbers on the second floor of the meeting house . six years later , catherine was married to elias ring at the first of many weddings celebrated in the meeting house .
he was one of australia’s all - time great sporting legends . fifty - four years after his passing , a ceremony was held to honour the great dave sands .
dave sands was a consummate fighter - boxer . the most gifted of the sands brothers , he was fast and quick - thinking , full of front - foot aggression and fierce counter - punching . he had the best left hook of his peers , and could punch heavily with both hands while absorbing the blows of the hardest hitters . overseas commentators and boxers thought that he could beat the best . robinson wanted ' a lot of money to fight that guy [ sands ] ' . when carl ' bobo ' olson ( whom sands had defeated twice ) took the crown on robinson ' s retirement , he remarked : ' this title should have belonged to dave sands . it would have been his had he lived ' . according to mitchell , sands fought 104 bouts : 60 won by knockouts , 33 won on points , one drawn , seven lost on points , one lost by a knockout , and two no - contests . according to tatz , he was defeated only ten times in 110 fights .
of all the aboriginal boxing legends that have emerged over the year and etched their own unique chapter in australian sporting history , dave sands holds a very special place and remains an unforgettable icon .
by all accounts , david was ( like george fox before him ) a young man of awkward religious anxiety . his initial attitude toward quakerism was a distaste for the plain clothing and manners of its practitioners . his first recorded impression of seeing two quakers in the street was : “it is impossible for me to be a quaker ; i would rather die . ”
and sure enough , when sands’ table broke late sunday night he was moved to moutinho’s table on the espn featured stage , creating a fun dynamic for everyone tuning in . “oh my god . look who it is , ” moutinho exclaimed as her beau entered the table . ben lamb , a close friend of sands who was also seated at the table , added , “this is a crazy little thing right here . ”
despite an enthusiastic reception from the british press , sands began his campaign for a world title disastrously . in london on 4 april 1949 , while suffering from a swollen , recently vaccinated arm , he was outpointed by tommy yarosz . fifteen days later sands won , dismally , against a spoiler , lucien caboche . maguire then moved him to newcastle upon tyne , where friendly locals and a promoter joe shepherd restored his confidence . after two solid victories , he returned to london and in july thrashed the much fancied robert villemain in the ' fight of the year ' . on 6 september sands demolished dick turpin in 2 minutes 35 seconds for the british empire middleweight title .
“any words of mine , however generous they may be , will fail to provide justice to the memory of the late dave sands both as a boxer and a man , ” said michael j . clarke , a close friend of dave’s and author of the book the fighting history of the sands brothers who spoke at the ceremony . “this was no ordinary sportsman , for in our long and glorious sporting history he was the greatest fighter australia has ever produced . ”
shortly after his triumphal return to australia in november 1949 , sands survived a serious accident when the steering on his motorcar failed and the vehicle somersaulted into a creek . over the next eighteen months he contested and won nine fights , one of them a fifteen - rounder in september 1950 in which he took the australian heavyweight championship from alf gallagher . sands had become a leading contender for the world middleweight title and maguire vainly sought to arrange a bout with the american champion ' sugar ' ray robinson . in the tricky maze of international boxing - promotion , his efforts were marked by a ' paper - chase ' of offers and counter - offers . sands defeated mel brown in london in july 1951 in a preliminary to a title - fight between robinson and another contender randolph turpin . had maguire ' s negotiations succeeded , sands would have been in turpin ' s place and probably would have beaten an unfit robinson , as did turpin .
in october sands won two fights in the united states of america . back home , he hoped for a world title - bout , but he was estranged from maguire . a new manager bede kerr reopened discussions with robinson ' s connexions , but ' the chance never came ' . on 11 august 1952 the truck sands was driving overturned at roadworks near dungog , new south wales ; he died of his injuries that evening in the local hospital and was buried in sandgate cemetery , newcastle . his wife , and their son and two daughters survived him ; their third daughter was born in november . sands had earned about £30 , 000 , but it went on manager ' s fees , travel costs , tax , family expenses and generosity to his kin . a public appeal raised more than £2500 , sufficient to pay off his stockton home and create a trust fund for his family .
david sands ( 1926 - 1952 ) , boxer , was born on 24 february 1926 at burnt bridge , near kempsey , new south wales , fifth of eight children of george ritchie , a rodeo - rider and timber - cutter of mixed aboriginal and european descent , and his aboriginal wife mabel , née russell , both of whom were born in new south wales . dave ' s brothers clement , percival , george , alfred and russell also boxed , emulating their father and their maternal great - uncle bailey russell , a noted bare - knuckle fighter . ray mitchell recorded that , between them , the brothers contested 494 official fights , with 301 wins ( 209 by knockouts ) , 27 draws and 163 losses . colin tatz claimed that they fought 607 bouts in all . they also toured with boxing troupes .
born in kempsey in1926 , dave was part of one of australia’s greatest - ever sporting families . the sands brothers ” clem , ritchie , george , dave , alfie and russell ” were all renowned in australian boxing at the time , but dave stood out from the others as something truly special .
the plaque was originally put in place at the site in 1952 by one of dave’s close friends , tom laming snr , who trained with and also fought dave on two occasions . at the ceremony , tom’s son tom jnr was on hand to pay his respects to dave sands’ achievements and legacy .
the sands stores complement our existing food estate , which operates from the highlands and islands to the borders , and they will be a valuable addition to our portfolio as we forge ahead with our programme to grow the business by seeking new opportunities at the heart of local communities right across the uk .
“when i first joined the jimmy sharman boxing tent at 17 years of age , i thought to myself that this would be the first time i was going to meet an idol that i really loved , ” george said . “that was dave sands . unfortunately the accident happened and i never got to meet him .
sands was soon boxing in twelve - round matches before excited crowds of up to ten thousand people in brisbane and sydney . in may 1946 he defeated jack kirkham for the australian middleweight title . three months later he knocked out jack johnson in four rounds to become national light - heavyweight champion . the rematches were even more one - sided : kirkham was defeated in five rounds and johnson fell after 2½ minutes of furious punching . by 1948 sands had beaten all his local opponents and most american ' imports ' . his mauling of a french fighter tony toniolo in less than two minutes in february 1949 led the english promoter jack solomons to take an interest in him .
in 1939 percy travelled to newcastle to train with tom maguire . he adopted the ring - name of ritchie sands , after ' snowy ' sands , a local railway guard and boxing fan . all six ritchie brothers fought under the name sands and wore green satin shorts with a white star . at the age of 15 dave joined percy ; both lived at maguire ' s gym . maguire also trained clem , george and alfie . clem was to hold the new south wales welterweight title in 1947 - 51 and alfie the middleweight title in 1952 - 54 . without maguire ' s knowledge , dave fought a four - round preliminary bout in august 1941 at newcastle stadium , swinging his way to victory in the first round . maguire disapproved , but quickly transformed him into a skilled boxer . by the end of 1942 he had knocked out a dozen opponents at newcastle . on 11 august 1945 he married 18 - year - old bessie emma burns at st paul ' s church of england , stockton .
sands , a former member of the brunson 10 , bagged up 2 , 765 , 000 chips sunday night after beginning the day with 1 . 6 million . he and his girlfriend have been enjoying the ride of a lifetime as they’ve each outlasted more than 6 , 800 players with the hope of attaining poker’s ultimate goal , reaching the november nine .
a face - off at the table has to be a distressing thought for sands and moutinho , but it could be inevitable as we inch closer to the final table . while they won’t be seated together to begin day 7 , it could very well happen again as the field trims down to 27 on monday . the november nine will be decided on tuesday .
espn’s kara scott spoke with the couple after the day ended and asked them what it was like playing together in the spotlight of the main event . “i was excited to be there , ” sands said . “it was a great experience and i think it’s a really unique accomplishment for both of us individually and collectively . she played great and i’m really proud of her efforts and my efforts . it was fun to be able to celebrate that at the end of the day . ”
moutinho is playing in her first wsop main event but got her feet wet in the final $ 1 , 000 no limit event of the series earlier this month , taking 416th place for just over $ 1 , 800 . sands , meanwhile , has 13 wsop cashes to his credit , including a pair of final tables . he took third place in this summer’s $ 1 , 500 pot limit omaha event for $ 113 , 383 and finished eighth in a $ 1 , 500 no limit hold ’em event in 2010 .
the dark - eyed , snubbed - nosed sands , whose skills kept his handsome features unscathed , was widely respected for his quiet manliness and dedication . despite his devastating ability in the ring , he was modest and shy . to his family he was fun - loving and a good provider , even helping with domestic tasks such as sewing . he was extremely close to his brothers , with whom he shared a timber - cutting business . bessie recalled in 1997 : ' he was a gentle soul , a gentleman . we only had seven years together ' .
mr . sands concentrates on the representation of companies involved in the media , entertainment and technologies industries and companies involved in the creation and distribution of financial products and financial services in a wide variety of key strategic transactions , including formation planning and initial capitalization , executive compensation structures , internet and e - commerce arrangements and institutional capital transactions and other forms of equity and debt offerings ( public and private ) , strategic alliances and partnerships , and merger and acquisitions ( including take private transactions ) . he has extensive experience in providing counseling and providing strategic planning for the firm ' s clients .
by this time the number of quakers worshipping at the sands - ring house was clearly beyond its capacity , and the members ( now swelled by more families from long island , including the seamans , the cockses and the townsends ) determined to raise 280 pounds for the purpose of purchasing land and building a meeting house . in july 1789 , a parcel of approximately 10 . 25 acres was deeded from langford thorn to joseph thorn ( langford’s son ) , nicholas townsend and william titus , in trust for cornwall monthly meeting . the land was improved by construction of the meeting house and the accompanying horse sheds , the architectural details of which are described in a subsequent chapter of this pamphlet .
dave ' s death spurred on his youngest brother russell peter ( 1937 - 1977 ) . born on 20 february 1937 at burnt bridge , russell became a featherweight and fought as a southpaw due to his withered left leg . lacking mobility and a big punch , he developed excellent timing and ringcraft , and an uncanny ability to duck and weave . he enjoyed a reputation for courage , and showed that it was well earned in his twelve - round battle ( 1957 ) with ray riojas . in may 1954 he won the new south wales featherweight title on points ; in december that year he—uncharacteristically—knocked out young layton in two rounds for the vacant australian featherweight title . he surrendered it to bobby sinn in november 1955 . after breaking his leg in a motorcar accident , he retired in 1959 . russell sands had 48 fights ; he won 26 ( mostly on points ) , drew three and lost 19 . he died of bilateral pneumonia on christmas eve 1977 at mayfield east , newcastle , and was buried in sandgate cemetery with the forms of the seventh - day adventist church .
the acquisition is part of the co - op ' s plan to increase the number of stores by 300 across britain in three years .
the co - operative has 370 food stores in scotland , which are serviced from a new distribution centre in newhouse , near glasgow .
it is the fourth largest food retailer in scotland with an annual turnover of more than £1bn .

“he taught me how to play so i kind of know how he thinks so i may have a little bit of an edge there , ” moutinho told cardplayer’s rebecca mcadam sunday evening . “it would be interesting . ”

this young man from the bush went on to become australian middleweight , light - heavyweight and heavyweight champion ( at one stage holding all three titles simultaneously ) , and australasian light - heavyweight and british empire middleweight champion between the years of 1946 and 1952 .
not surprisingly , during this time dave quickly become the one of the most popular sportsmen in the country . so when he died tragically in a truck accident at the age of only 26 , australia mourned the loss of a true sporting hero .
at the time of his passing , dave’s record stood at 110 fights for 97 victories and one draw . he was internationally considered one of the great fighters in the world and was already regarded one of the greatest - ever australian boxers .
to mark what would have been dave’s 80 th year , a plaque in his honour which has stood on a busy intersection in inner - city sydney was restored and re - unveiled in a special ceremony which celebrated dave’s amazing life and achievements .
over 100 people attended the ceremony , including dave’s friends and family , admirers , former opponents and members of the boxing community who came to honour the legend .
“when dave came to sydney , he trained at our gym in west moreland street , ” tom told the crowd . “my dad said that dave was electrifying ; all the people in glebe would come to the gym hours before to watch him train . my dad said it was like he was a movie star .
“when he came to sydney he lived in this hotel behind us called the university hotel and my dad used to tell me that when he would run around in victoria park across the street here people would stop in the street . the buses would stop ; people would get out of their cars just to watch him run .
“when my dad erected this monument to dave he erected it to a very good friend , a very good fighter and a very good gentleman . ”
among the many former and current boxers in attendance was fellow indigenous fighting legend george bracken , who spoke about the inspiration dave provided to indigenous people during his career .
“he was the first australian boxer , black or white , to venture overseas and achieve success , ” said michael . “those that had gone before brought no gold or title home with them , but dave came home with the middleweight championship of the british empire and a reputation as the most feared fighter in the world .
“i suppose it’s quite possible for go d t o create a greater sportsman , a greater middleweight and a greater champion , but so far he hasn’t . ”

batsu is the japanese word for punishment or penalty . and in the raucous new improvised entertainment in old town , the audience is encouraged to chant it whenever one of the performers fails at some game or another — hesitates , say , or digresses , or just is not funny enough . at that moment a woman appears from the wings with some kind of rubber hammer or paintball gun or raw eggs , ready to bash , shock or splat the participant ( who quickly dons protective headgear ) with goo . if all of this sounds perverse , well , you ' d be right , and maybe you also haven ' t watched too many japanese game shows .
