(Vicky Bremner photo) Shannon Scott of SHINE Yoga held the first of many pay -what -you - can yoga class fundraisers at the Blyth East Side Dance Studio over the weekend and was thrilled with the outcome. Called Karma Yoga classes, the fundraising classes allow people to attend and pay whatever they can afford, all of which will go towards funding a school program Scott runs. "The class went really well," she said. "There were 10 people that came out and they donated $165, which is a really generous donation for the school yoga program" The program, which Scott said was developed as a result of studies between Kripalu's Institute for Extraordinary Living and Harvard Medical School, is a 24 -session educational system which teaches social and emotional learning skills # 1 And We UEF / Still Try 1144404" Harder!

"Right now I'm doing it at Howick Central Public School and working with Grades 4 to 6," she said. Previously, Scott has run the program in Oshawa and Ajax working with several groups and recognizing great success through the program. "Now that I'm back here, I'm trying to get it in more local schools," she said. Unfortunately, not all schools can afford the program, so Scott looked to these Karma Yoga classes to raise money to help with that problem. Scott will be able to put all the funds she raises from the classes towards the school programs thanks to the fact that Blyth East Side Dance Studio has donated the space for the classes.

Clinton baseball camp to Huron -Bruce Member of Parliament Ben Lobb is pleased to announce the fourth annual Clinton Minor Baseball Camp and the expansion of the camp this year to Kincardine, for the first Annual Kincardine Minor Baseball Camp. This year former Kansas City Royals Pitcher and two-time Cy Young winner Bret Saberhagen will be headlining the instructors for the baseball camp.

In 1989, he had his best season, going 23-6 with a 2.16 ERA and winning another Cy Young award. Returning for a second straight year is NCAA head baseball coach Mark Brew. Brew is in his 10th season as head coach of the Lee University Flames. He directed his first seven Lee teams to the NAIA College World Series before leading the transition to NCAA Division II and the Gulf South Conference last season. He has been named conference Coach of the Year twice (2008 and 2010) and has been named Region Coach of the Year six times (2008-2013). In 2008 he was named National Coach of the Year. The Clinton Minor Baseball return Camp was founded in 2012 by Lobb. In 2011, Lobb noticed that the sport was making a comeback in Huron -Bruce and wanted to help foster that growth. Every year he has been able to secure sponsors to make the camp affordable so all kids have the chance to participate. Lobb is no stranger to the game of baseball. He grew up playing baseball in Clinton and attended Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee on a baseball scholarship. "This is an exciting year for the camp and for grassroots baseball in Huron -Bruce as we expand to Kincardine. We are excited to have Bret Saberhagen headline the camp and welcome Mark Brew back for a second straight year," said MP Lobb. "I can't thank the municipalities, the local business community and both Clinton and Kincardine Minor Baseball enough for all their support" This year's camp will run July 11- 12 at the Clinton Community Ball Park, and the first annual Kincardine Minor Baseball Camp will run July 13-14 at Kincardine Connaught Park in Kincardine.
