On July 16 the Blyth Pee Wee
boys travelled to Londesboro
where they met the Londesboro
Pee Wee boys in what turned out to
be quite a competitive ball game.
A total of six innings were played
by the teams, which saw some very
good pitching by Darryl Elliott for
the first four innings, and good
relief pitching by Philip Hubbard
for the remaining two innings.
Althoughthe final score did not
indicate the closeness of the game,
in actual team play, good defensive
ball was displayed by both teams.
It did however, appear that the
stronger pitching, in this particular
game by Blyth, was the edge in the
game.
Home runs were hit by Rick
Howson, Craig Snell, Craig Bau
man and Scott Cronin. Some strong
hitting was shown by the Londes
boro team, particularly towards
the final inning.
On July 23, Blyth was at home to
the visiting team from Dungannon.
The early portion of the game saw
Blyth jump ahead to a 13 to 4 lead at
the end of four innings, behind
some strong pitching by Philip
Hubbard. However, going into the
top of the fifth inning it appeared
that the Blyth boys had lulled
themselves to sleep as the Dungan
non team came back to score 10
straight runs and take the lead with
a score of 14 to 13 at the first half of
the fifth inning.
With time running out, Blyth
came up for their final bat at the
bottom of thefifth. Scott Cronin
was able to get on base with a walk.
With some excellent running Scott
w as in scoring position on third
base with two out. When a wild
pitch was thrown by Dungannon,
Scott scored from third to tie the
game at 14 all. No further runs
were scored in the bottom of the
fifth inning by Blyth and as the time
limit had concluded no further
innings were played and the game
ended with a 14 all tie.
Blyth Pee wee boys’ next game
will be in Goderich Township, July
30. Blyth’s following home game
will not be played until Wednes
day, August 13, when Blyth meets
Stanley Township.
The Blyth Pee Wee boys would
like to thank all the fans for their
support.
Seniors' Day Centre news
Activities planned
BY GLORIA WORKMAN
Introductions are in order. I’m
Gloria Workman, the Assistant
Director of the Wingham and Area
Day Centre for the Homebound.
This article and I have something in
common; I am new to the centre
and this article is new to the
Citizen. That is why it’s necessary
to explain what the centre is all
about.
Our mandate is to provide social
and recreational programs to
seniors and others who have
difficulty getting out into the
community for various reasons.
Approximately 80 clients from
north Huron and south Bruce
counties take advantage of the
programs on Tuesdays, Wednes
days, and Thursdays from 10 -
3:00. Many dedicated volunteers
are reimbursed mileage costs for
driving the participants to the
Centre or assisting in the operation
of the programs.
A variety of activites take place;
daytrips, music, exercise, games,
crafts, horticulture and films. (The
list goes on.) Counselling in
regards to housing, pension and
nutrition are also available to the
client. A full-course meal is served
at lunch time. Referrals or enquir
ies can be made by calling
357-1440.
What’s in store for the month of
August? Seniors are asked to bring
in pla nt cuttings for propagation on
August 5 and,Q. Plant? wilj be sold
late? in, t^he ,ljaj|<iNe^t on the,
st ih h
agenda, is a day at the movies,
presenting “It’s a Wonderful
Life,’’ starring James Stewart and
Donna Reed. (It is supposed to be
an emotionally moving film.)
There is no cost, but a donation box
will be available.
During the week of August 12 -
14, clients and members of the
community will participate in a
variety entertainment afternoon
with musical instruments, solos, or
readings of pieces with a special
meaning.
Foot Clinics are held on a regular
basis; the next one is Thursday,
August 14. Appointments can be
made by calling 357-1440.
In July, we had the opportunity
to see three plays at the Blyth
Festival. We’ll be taking in
“Another’s Season’s Promise’’ on
August 21. We’ve heard good
reviews and everyone is looking
forward to it.
Wildlife slides provided by the
Federation of Ontario Naturalists

last week kof August. During the
last week, Pam Williams, the
Director of the Centre, will show
slides taken during her stay in Sri
Lanka. The August programs will
be both educational and entertain
ing.
To finish, I would like to leave
you with thought-provoking ideas
about getting older. The older
years are meant to be lived to the
fullest. “Don't sit back and wait to
see what happens, take hold, and
