Sober news from Chicago
Wednesday, September 19th, 2007
On August 25th, Tahirah Johnson aka Tequila Mockingbird of the Fury went down in a pile up and fractured her C4 Vertebrae during a bout. The medical staff reacted very quickly to stabilize her.
She is being treated at Schwab Rehabilitation Center on the South Side of Chicago. She has partial use of just one arm and no use of her legs. But she has feeling in her limbs.
A trust has been set up in her name to pay for her medical bills.

carolyn.feibel@chron.comRecipe for a roller derby, Texas-style: take a rockabilly fashion sense, skate punk athleticism, and a feminist, grass-roots work ethic. Put the whole thing on old-school quad roller skates, add a dollop of nostalgia, and you have the latest incarnation of a uniquely American sport.
On Sunday, five all-women teams from Texas met up for the Governor’s Cup championship bout at Verizon Wireless Theater. Spectators cheered the local all-star team, the “HaRD KNOCKS,” as they faced off against last year’s champion, the Dallas Derby Devils.
