I have read that the days of sitting
on the front porch after dinner are a
thing of the past so I've made it my
mission to disprove such a theory.
Some say barbecues, decks, pools
and fences have been detrimental to
the "after dinner, front porch, sit a
spell ritual".
In my opinion, this would be too
bad. At one time, sitting on the front
porch must have been an important
social aspect of a community such
as Ethel. (Unless, of course, it
involved the men sitting on the front
porch socializing while the women
tidied up from dinner.)
On Sunday night I drove into town
and glanced up and down main
street looking for front porch people
and I saw two — Bob .and Olive
Cunningham. My search continues.
I looked up the Farmer's Almanac
website for Ontario weather and it
says that September will be cooler
than normal, especially the second
half of the month. Skeptical? Well, it
was right about the heavy July
rainfall and the hot weather in late
July, early August. I suppose we'll
know soon enough.
I have a riddle that you might like
to share with your children or
grandchildren but they should write
it down to understand it better. What
is it that occurs once in a minute,
twice in a moment and once in a
million years? The letter "m".
See you on the porch.
Midgets
lose
close
one to
Elmira
Monday, July 29 the Brussels
Midget girls met Elmira with a
chance to replay a previous
protested game.
Brussels needed a win to keep
hopes alive in the WOAA playoffs.
Lesley Pepper was on the mound for
the entire game for Brussels striking
out 12.
The game remained scoreless until
the bottom of the third. Cassie
Fischer reached first on a hit pitch
and was able to advance on passed
balls to score.
In the fourth Elmira answered
back with a homerun to centre to
score two. They scored another
single run in the top of the fifth.
Brussels seeing that the time limit
was hovering over their heads
needed some runs. Amy Douma
reached first on a walk and Nicole
Lowe beat out the throw to first.
Stacey Bowles hit a triple to tie the
game. Catrina Josling hit a high fly
ball to the infield to score the run
and take the lead 4-5. However she
'was called out after the play for
coach interference.
With two minutes left in the time
limit, Elmira would bat again. They
scored on a long hit ball to right to
tie the game.
Brussels went to the plate unable
to score Fischer from second.
Brussels struggled in the seventh
with Elmira scoring two.
Rachel Speers kept the team's
hopes alive with a single to left, then
advancing on a passed ball. Jody
Semple and Jenna Fischer were
_unable to advance the runner
finishing the game with a loss 6-4.
The Brussels Midgets
acknowledge all the parents and fans
who came out to watch and support
the team.
