Over the trees behind centre field, the big bright trunk of a rain- bow was showing through some of the thickest clouds the weather had seen fit to throw at us that day. It was perfect. Express took the lead after Brian Itorner sparked the locals with a n Walt Macdonald and Kevin Drager followed him home. That turned a 5-4 deficit Into a - lead which was good enough. to. win the game. And there was that rainbow, making baseball poetry. Express became -the Provincial Senior D champions for the second time in three years Sunday when they beat Everett Expos in double, • knockout play. For a tcam that has been around just six seasons, they've gone out of their way to -make a. name for themselves in baseball circles. Penhale's contribution When the members of the Express wcrc standing on the third base line, receiving their medals from Mayor Bruce Shaw, a call went up for Gar Penhalc. He came out to the group casually and was present- ed with his medal. The moment caused some of the Loudest cheering of the day. Pcnhale began working on the logistics of the tournament as soon as the snow began .to melt this year. He kept the event running smoothly all weekend, even when the rain threatened to bring things to a grinding halt: Quick adjustments had to be made when the Sca- forth diamond was ruined by rain. Half of the tournament was moved to Dashwood. With the help of Gary Hartman (he was the guy with the wood chips who kept the pitcher's mound from floating away) Pcnhale kept things going. In fact, he was still keeping things going on Tuesday, a full day after the tourney was finished. Pcnhale was out at the baseball dia- mond cleaning up. Umpires needed South Huron District High School opened up for business this week, and a few of its teams arc already working out on the playing field. The girls field hockey squad has been attending a clinic to im- prove on what was the best team in Huron -Perth last season. • Jim Workman, SHDHS field hockey guru, is looking for mature people to umpire field hockey ga es. in Exeter, Mitchell and St. Marys. Knowledge of the game is an se and training will be sup- plied. Umpires receive $15 pergame plus mileage. Anyone interested should call Workman at 235-0880 or 235-01.54 after 6 p.m. On location or Studio Letters Bart DeVries Dear Editor, PHOTOGRAPHY "How many more days until.soc- ccr?" That was a regular question in our household from our son Braydcn. When he knew that his soccer was that particular night he• was dressed and ready to go hours before the scheduled time. • For the past. two -years Braydcn has been coming in to Exeter Tuesday nights to play soccer Jan the Tyke team and'has just loved it. And one of the main reasons he has enjoyed it so much is due to his coach Henri DeBruyn. Henri 'is fantastic with his Tyke team. By the second practice he knew every player's name and treat- ed each youngster with so much at- tention and kindness that it made each player thoroughly enjoy their year of soccer and certainly look forward to next summer when they can get on the soccer field again. I'm sure the parents that signed their children up this year really appreciate all of Henri's time and . effort with his team. He seemed to be enjoying himself as much as the little players. Martin DcBruyn and his family have certainly -added so much to this community. Without their constant efforts, minor soccer- would occerwould not be as popular as it was .. this summer. People like this fam- ily add so much to a community that a lot of us don't realize. Braydcn will probably be mov- ing on. to a new team next year but he will be taking with him a great attitude toward sports, an attitude that taught the youngsters that .winning is not the most important thing but trying your hardest and enjoying yourself is, thanks to Henri.
