The Wonders added two more in the sixth and the Wild Things came on strong in the bottom of the sixth to score five runs to draw within two of the Wonders.

They played Friday night against the Breslau Black Sox and defeated them 2-1 in a close game. They played two games on Saturday facing the Mount Elgin Mets first and winning 8-0 and then the Rannock Rebels and defeating them 9-1. They played in the semi- final game on Sunday morning against the Glanworth Jrs. and won 6-2 to put them into the finals.

They chipped away at the score to earn back the four runs and then the Masters scored two more in the late innings to defeat the Brewers 6-4. The Brewers had everyone hitting well for the weekend including Scott Leonhardt, Scott McDonald and Jeff Robinson having home runs. The pitching staff of Scott Leonhardt, Paul Dolmage and Jeff Smith did a great job on the mound. Congrats Brewers!

Two families I spoke to report feeling their homes shake during the height of the storm. One family I heard is still trying to find a missing lawn chair, a heavy lawn chair, to their patio set. The school buses had a slow time of it on Thursday morning because of the branches or entire trees down on the roads and having to take detours. Hydro crews have had to work steadily since the storm on Monday night and then again Wednesday night to get hydro back to many. We are thankful there was no one hurt and the cleanup is almost complete and that we live in a great community where neighbours and friends are always willing to lend a hand. Storm slows buses in Walton Taking power from the people A terrible thunderstorm with hard-hitting winds knocked over trees in Blyth including this one, which pulled down power lines and damaged electrical poles, early on June 7.

The male members of the Knight family, starting at the age of four and up to 80 or more, came out to spend time getting to know uncles, grandpas and cousins and have a day of fun. They have a barbecue for supper and everyone returned home tired but full of memories of a great day together. We hope Patty Banks is a fast healer as she has unfortunately broken her finger. A clumsy accident, but Patty is a trooper and still managed to play at church on Sunday. Rumour has it that Edna McLellan is celebrating a special birthday in the next week. Edna has spent many years volunteering her time and energy to many local organizations around the Brussels area and has met many good friends in the process. Edna spent many years as a Morris Township councillor and always tried her best for the township. Seeing Edna has been such a popular girl, I suspect a big party should be in order, and all her friends can come out and celebrate with Edna.
