 When Mya Hebert was a little girl, her family affectionately dubbed her “Gracie” because she was always running into walls and tripping over things, too excited to watch where she was going, her mom said. The name still fits, only now it describes the 9-year-old Raynham resident’s powerful axels, beautiful spirals and exquisitely-timed cartwheels on ice, not to mention her grace under pressure as she skates in front of hundreds of spectators, said her mom, Kristie Hebert.  “My daughter amazes me every time she steps foot on the ice. She skates with all her heart,” Kristie Hebert said. “I tell Mya before every competition that it doesn't matter if she comes in first or last to just do her best and that she will always be number one to me,” Kristie Hebert said.  Mya, a fourth-grader at LaLiberte Elementary School in Raynham, has worked with coach Ashley Knight since 2012. Knight said Mya has a lot of natural talent and a passion for skating that shines through. “She’s fearless. She’ll try anything on the ice. She loves it,” said Knight, who coaches Mya two to three times a week at Bridgewater Ice Arena, the FMC rink in Taunton and Alexio in Raynham.  Mya lives in Raynham with her mom Kristie, dad Justin, brothers Quincey, 12, and Jacoby, 3, and their dog Maggie, cat Kali and a bird named Stormy. We asked the accomplished young skater to share her thoughts on her favorite sport and other topics: Your mom said you fell in love with ice skating when you were 4. What was it about the experience that you enjoyed so much? I loved slipping and sliding on the ice. What does it feel like to skate in a competition? Very nerve racking but so exciting and fun at the same time. What’s the hardest move in skating? The axel. |

We traveled through Japan for two weeks this summer and had an amazing time. I collected a few clips along the way because I wanted to put together a small video to show people at home what I've been up to and for all my cast mates.  I did it so we can always look back and remember all the good times we had together on this tour. I love you guys! Thank you for inspiring me to push myself further, making me laugh, and for being my friends. Until our next tour! Love, Adam  |

In 1988, Debi Thomas made history as the first African-American athlete to win a medal at the Winter Olympics, taking home the bronze medal for Ladies’ Singles. She went on to become an orthopedic surgeon. But since then, things have unraveled and Thomas is now speaking out about her dire current situation.  "Suddenly, you're like, 'I can't even pay my phone bill, I can't even pay this,’” Thomas, 48, told Good Morning America on Monday, Nov. 9, of her current financial status. "People don't understand; anybody could suddenly lose, you know, their money. Anybody can." Thomas does not currently have a job and said she is not interested in going back into medicine. She and her fiancé, Jamie Looney, are living in what was previously a bed bug-infested trailer. She attributes her current predicament to the high legal fees surrounding her divorce from her second husband, Chris Bequette, and the costly child support. Her 18-year-old son Christopher is now in college. |
