"Great person, (she) would really do basically anything you’d ask her to do," added Kelly Stachewicz, a friend of DeHart's for 51 years. "They needed somebody to cover, she was 'Johnny on the spot,' she would always go in to cover the shifts."

A mini Cowboys fightback began in the 46th minute thanks to a lucky bounce. A grubber (người xới, người bới) by Michael Morgan wobbled all over the place as it rolled into the Titans in goal. The ball remarkably bounced through Phillip Sami's legs and Kyle Feldt was Johnny-on-the-spot to plant the ball down for a try. Feldt was unable to convert from touch.

Many don’t know that troops (quân đội, lính) from Canada burned the White House during the War of 1812. Many Americans don’t know that 20,000 or more Canadians joined our fight in Viet Nam, while other Canadians provided a sanctuary (nơi tôn nghiêm, đền thờ) for American draft dodgers. And many Americans may not realize that, immediately after the Sept. 11, 2001 attack on New York City and elsewhere in the U.S., Canadian troops joined Americans in Afghanistan. But it works both ways. When the horrible Halifax Explosion occurred during the First World War, Boston was Johnny on the spot with help.
