Residence hosts golf tourney Concentration It appears a little tongue work is required for that extra effort as a Brussels U-11 player tries to steer the ball away from her Listowel opponent during their tournament game Saturday. U-11, U-9 and U-7 teams from the North Perth region travelled to Brussels on the weekend for the year-end tournament. Blyth Mites down Colborne The BlythMites were tough on their visitors Aug. 12, sending home the Colborne squad defeated 23-9. Colborne showed its mettle, start­ ing off the game getting on the scoreboard in the first, but Blyth players were heavy hitting, over­ powering their tenacious oppo­ nents. Ben Walsh and Dickey Gregg with a homer started the home team’s onslaught. Highlights in the bottom of the second included a lead-off walk to Michelle Bakelaar, followed by a double from Ashlee Cook and homers by Lisa Nicholson and Justin Ritchie. In the third, triples from Erin Moore, Devin Jenkins and Walsh as well as homeruns from Nichol­ son and Gregg continued to increase the Blyth edge. In the top of the fourth Colborne managed two walks, but were stopped from any further danger by the Blyth defense. Splitting duty on the mound for the home squad were Katie McClinchey, Moore and Jenkins. On Sept. 16, Goderich Place Retirement Residence will be holding its First Annual Charity Golf Tournament for Heart and Stroke at the Sunset Golf Club. Goderich Place Retirement Residence spearheaded this 18-hole golf scramble. This year, Goderich Place has joined forces with the Heart and Stroke Foundation in the fight against heart disease and stroke, which directly affect many of their residents and their families. Heart disease and stroke continue to be the single largest cause of death among Canadian men and women. Heart disease is not just a disease caused by stressful, polluted city life. A recent Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontarro. analysis is revealed that death rates for ischaemic heart disease and stroke claim over 79,000 Canadian lives ’yearly. Research, health promotion and public education funded by the Heart and Stroke Foundation have helped cut the rate at which Canadians die from heart attack by half since the early 1970s. The entry fee is $60 per golfer, which includes green fees, steak BBQ and prizes. The Heart and Stroke Foundation also offers incentive prizes for participants who raise money.
